Cultural Insight
Michael: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Inger: In this lesson we introduced God dag, but be careful because if you use it you could come across as very reserved or wanting to keep your distance. In general, Hei is better, and you can also use it with your boss or when you meet someone for the first time. God dag is more appropriate for public speaking or highly formal situations.
