How do you greet somebody in Denmark?

  • I'm going to Denmark soon and just wondered how you greet people there? I'm not talking about people at work but in your free time. With a handshake? Or kisses on the cheeks? Or a hug??
    I have totally no idea!!
    Can somebody help me?!?!

    Not more than a hug. Kissing is too personal.

    If it's the first time you shake hands with people. If you've met someone a few times just greet them by saying "hej" which means hey. If you're friends then you can hug - but never kisses.
