Når vi arbejder sammen, tager vi hensyn til hinanden.

Here når means when, but in a general, repeated sense, it often feels like whenever in English.

So:

• Når vi arbejder sammen = When we work together / Whenever we work together

It introduces a subordinate clause.

This is because Danish uses verb-second word order in main clauses.

The sentence starts with the subordinate clause:

• Når vi arbejder sammen,

After that, the main clause begins, and the finite verb must come before the subject:

• tager vi hensyn til hinanden

So the pattern is:

• [subordinate clause], [verb] [subject] ...

Compare:

• Vi tager hensyn til hinanden.
• Når vi arbejder sammen, tager vi hensyn til hinanden.

The second one has inversion because the sentence does not begin with the subject.

Arbejder is the present tense of arbejde (to work).

In Danish, the present tense can often translate as either:

• work
• are working

depending on context.

So vi arbejder sammen can mean:

• we work together
• we are working together

In this sentence, the most natural English translation is usually when we work together.

Sammen means together.

In vi arbejder sammen, it comes after the verb:

• vi arbejder sammen = we work together

That is a very normal position for it in Danish.

Tage hensyn til is a fixed expression. It means:

• to take into consideration
• to show consideration for
• to be considerate toward

A literal word-for-word breakdown is not very natural in English:

• tage = take
• hensyn = consideration / regard
• til = to

But as a whole, tage hensyn til nogen means to consider someone’s needs, feelings, or situation.

So in this sentence:

• tager vi hensyn til hinanden = we show consideration for each other

Because tage hensyn til is an idiomatic expression in Danish. You do not normally say tage et hensyn til in this meaning.

So you learn it as a set phrase:

• tage hensyn til nogen/noget

Much like learning an English expression such as take care of as a whole unit.

Til is the preposition that belongs with the expression tage hensyn til.

So the structure is:

• tage hensyn til + person/thing

Examples:

• tage hensyn til børnene = take the children into consideration / be considerate toward the children
• tage hensyn til miljøet = consider the environment
• tage hensyn til hinanden = consider each other

You should learn til as part of the full phrase.

Yes. Hinanden means each other.

So:

• vi tager hensyn til hinanden = we take each other into consideration / we are considerate of each other

It is a reciprocal pronoun, used when two or more people do something mutually.

They are very close, and both can often mean each other, but hinanden is the most common and neutral choice in sentences like this.

For a learner, the safest approach is:

• use hinanden for each other

So this sentence sounds completely natural as:

• Når vi arbejder sammen, tager vi hensyn til hinanden.

Yes. That is also correct.

Both are natural:

• Når vi arbejder sammen, tager vi hensyn til hinanden.
• Vi tager hensyn til hinanden, når vi arbejder sammen.

The difference is mostly about emphasis:

• Starting with Når vi arbejder sammen highlights the situation first.
• Starting with Vi tager hensyn til hinanden highlights the main message first.

The comma separates the subordinate clause from the main clause:

• Når vi arbejder sammen, = subordinate clause
• tager vi hensyn til hinanden. = main clause

So the comma helps show the structure clearly.

People would understand it perfectly, and it is natural Danish. It sounds a little careful, clear, or well-behaved in tone—something you might hear in a workplace, school, or discussion about cooperation.

In everyday speech, people might also use simpler alternatives depending on context, but this sentence is completely normal and useful.
