Krevekræve

Krevekræve is a Danish term that translates roughly to "demand and claim" or "insist and demand." It describes a situation where one party is making strong, insistent demands on another, often with an underlying sense of entitlement or expectation. This can occur in various contexts, from personal relationships to business negotiations. The term implies a forceful assertion of one's desires or rights, often without much room for compromise.

The intensity of "krevekræve" can range from a firm insistence to a more aggressive and demanding posture. It suggests a lack of passive acceptance and a proactive, sometimes pushy, approach to getting what one wants. In a social setting, it might describe a child who is being particularly insistent about a toy or treat, or an adult who is aggressively pursuing a particular outcome. In a business context, it could refer to a supplier making unyielding demands on a client, or a negotiator who is unwilling to concede on key points. The core idea is the forceful and persistent articulation of a demand.
