意思
Asking for news.
文化背景
Danes value 'uformelhed' (informality). You can use this with almost anyone you've met before, including teachers or bosses, without sounding rude. In Greenlandic Danish, the phrase is used but often followed by a longer silence, as people take time to consider if there actually is anything worth reporting. In the US, 'What's up?' is often a synonym for 'Hello'. In Denmark, 'Hvad er nyt?' is a real question. If you ask it, be prepared to listen to the answer. The 'Kaffepause' (coffee break) is the prime time for this phrase. It's the social glue of the Danish office.
The 'Hos' Trick
Add 'hos dig' to make it more personal and friendly.
Don't over-use
If you see someone every day, 'Hvad er nyt?' might be too much. Use 'Hvad så?' instead.

常见问题
12 个问题Yes, in most Danish workplaces, it is perfectly acceptable and shows a friendly, flat hierarchy.
Because 'hvad' is a neuter pronoun, and adjectives must agree with the gender of the noun/pronoun they describe.
Say 'Ikke det store' (Not much) or 'Det sædvanlige' (The usual).
Only in very casual emails to people you know well. For formal emails, use 'Jeg håber, du har det godt'.
Usually no. It's a silent letter in this context.
Yes, they have very similar versions: 'Hva er nytt?' (Norwegian) and 'Vad är nytt?' (Swedish).
'Hvad så?' is much more casual, like 'Sup?', while 'Hvad er nyt?' is a bit more of a real question.
Yes, but 'Hvad er nyt hos dig?' sounds slightly more natural to native ears.
It's both! It functions as a greeting that invites a short update.
No, it's better to use 'Hvordan går det?' or just 'Hej' for new acquaintances.
Use 'Hvad er nyt angående...' followed by the topic.
No, it's a rounded 'y' sound, more like the French 'u' in 'tu'.
