Politeness in Denmark: Some thoughts on Danish etiquette
Update: 2019-10-12
Description
"Is there politeness in Denmark?"
That was the question I was recently invited on a national TV show to discuss.
The implication was that I was supposed to say that Danes were not at all polite, because effusive praise and cheerful agreement make for a rather dull TV show.
But Danes are not impolite. They have their own version of courteous behaviour, which is based on reinforcing aspects of their culture that they care about.
