🌍

文化背景

Danes value personal space in public. Being 'tæt på' someone at a bus stop is considered rude. Keep at least an arm's length! In meetings, saying 'Vi er tæt på' is a common way to signal progress without being overly boastful, fitting the Janteloven mindset. In Greenlandic Danish, 'tæt på' might be used for vast distances that would seem far to a European but are 'close' in Arctic terms. Young Danes use 'tæt' to describe their 'inner circle' of friends, often using it as an adjective: 'mine tætte venner'.

💡

The 'At' Rule

If you follow 'tæt på' with a verb, you MUST use 'at'. Example: 'tæt på at spise'.

⚠️

No 'To'

Never say 'tæt til'. It's a classic giveaway that you're translating from English.
