Politeness in Denmark: Some thoughts on Danish etiquette | The How to Live in Denmark Podcast,...

“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.
This is the eighty-ninth episode of the "How to Live in Denmark podcast", and originally ran in 2019.
