Could be "it's just round the corner"?

English-Dani (X) Nov 23, 2009:

"Manna" is the word I hear! Please explain to me Language of food?

Anna Haxen Nov 23, 2009:

Phrases containing "us" and "our" don't really convey the meaning of the Danish expression, which is that anyone in their right mind can see that this is the only sensible thing to do (lit. kick the ball and score a goal when there's nothing to prevent you from doing so).

Sorry, Helen and other answerers, I was wrong. According to this definition from Ordbøgerne over Faste Vendinger, the meaning is more specific than I thought:

faste vendinger
blive lige til højrebenet
ligge lige til højrebenet
være lige til højrebenet
betydning
• udtryk for, at noget kan gøres helt perfekt, fordi det nøjagtigt passer til nogens færdigheder og interesser
anmærkning
Udtrykket bygger på billedet af en fodboldspiller, som bedst kan skyde med sit højreben, og hvor bolden ligger perfekt for dette højre ben til et skud mod mål.

I confused it with "ligger lige for".

Maybe even more suitable: it's second nature to us?

Text,, exactly as it's written: Energieffektivitet ligger lige til højrebenet. Der er stå store muligheder for industrien i at spare på energien ved at benytte allerede kendte teknologier, men det har ikke været på dagsordenen før.
I mean my suggestion in the sense that the Danes are v good at considering the environment, energy efficiency, etc. so it's in their nature to take this further.

Depends on the context... ...but if the intention is to signal that the company is very good at providing energy-efficient products/services, then yes, I think your suggestion would be fine.

I see... could you get away with "right up our street" do you think?
