Bus/Financial - Advertising / Public Relations / support or backing | | Norwegian term or phrase: drahjelp | Respekten for hverandres kompetanse er viktig, og bransjen selv har et ansvar for å skille mellom begrepene.
De siste årene har vi også fått **drahjelp** fra både XXX og YYY ... fordi politikere og myndigheter har satt ZZZ på agendaen, bevilget penger til produktutvikling og promotering og dermed legitimert at god design er et viktig fortrinn og konkurranseparameter
As far as I can see, 'drahjelp' is basically support (here with funds). But in some references it is apparently more like moral support or backing. It could well be both in this context.
Is it a 'buzzword' or should I just buy some better dictionaries? |
| | | assistance, support | Explanation:
Literally, of course, it means a tow - but as you say it just means support or assistance. It does not necessarily mean deliberate assistance, as in one of my example sentences below it can be somewhat equivalent to what in Formula 1 is called an "air tow", i.e. exploiting someone else's position or actions. |
