​@@trd9336 Wrong, when foreigners try to speak Italian they sound like super mario because of this stereotype, but real Italian is very "neutral" (unlike spanish or german) if that's even the right word for it, or "calm", without the signature emphasis and phrasing of the super mario character, and doesn't have any tendency to sound like that, on the other hand Norwegian (which I think is a beautiful language) tends to put more emphasis on the stressed vowel of a word, that makes it kinda closer to the mario voice than Italian, but not in a negative way. I think the stereotypical sound you were trying to tie to the italian language comes from american Italian speakers, who are known to have made up their own pseudo-language in research of their lost heritage or something like that as most of my interactions with american Italians had led me to believe.

This video comes in my recommendation every now and then and it's just so interesting. I don't speak Norwegian nor Danish. I'm Dutch, but so many words are so familiar or just have the same meaning and/or pronunciation. Like rar = raar and also means weird. Søt = zoet and many more that have meanings that make sense or are close to words that are familiar to me. Fin person makes me think of fijn persoon. This makes me think of once where we had a conversation where one guy was German. I've heard enough German in my life, along with some high school classes, that I'm able to understand most of what's being said (depending on the context). This German guy spoke in his own language and so did we and the conversation worked as he understood us. He was speaking a more northern dialect, so that helped. It's just so cool to realize how intertwined our languages are through similar words and concepts.

At least the French use whole numbers, even if the combinations break away a bit (soisante-dix 70, soisante-et-onze 71, soisante-dix-sept 77, etc.), the Danes decided fractions would be a brilliant idea (halvtreds, which is shorthand for "halvtredsindstyve", which is roughly "the third half times 20, which is 50", the "third half" being 2 1/2, or 5/2).

The math behind it might seem strange, but Danish numerals are just words. There's NO mental calculations involved. When you say "halvfjerds" in Danish, you just know it's "70" and not "3.5x20" (even though that's what the word means literally in terms of etymology). Danes don't normally contemplate why "70" is called "halvfjerds". Same as English speakers never think about why "11" is called "eleven" and not a more logical "oneteen".

I'm an eastern born Norwegian with 80% north Norwegian family and 20% western family, and I grew up talking Swedish, but both danish and western Norwegian (Stavanger) are really difficult for me. I do understand it, but I can't talk like it AT. ALL. Believe me, I've tried. But, I never understood Danish untill I met my family from the west of Norway when I was about 11 or 12. It took me a year to understand them, but now I do actually understand both them AND alot of Danish because they really do have similarities when it comes to pronounciation, even words or how they're "made". Right outside Stavanger there's a small town that calls "potatoes (Norwegian: Poteter) "jordeple" or "jorple". But, as in Danish language, it's pronounced vaguely but with a lot of tongue business; "Jordeble". If I would say "She's a sweet girl", I'd say (in my dialect) "Hun er en søt jente" with the T pronounced as in "a cup of tea". In Stavanger, they'd they'd say "Hu va ei søde jenta" where the word "jente/jenta" would even be pronounced as "jinta". My boyfriend is east Norwegian but have been alot in DK with his family. When he met my stepdad, he couldn't understand a word. Me and my bf have been to DK twice the last year, and both times I've had to translate for him, haha. I also have some Danish friends who I occasionally text, and I ALWAYS understand them when writing, but as soon as a Danish person talk to me, at least if they talk a bit fast, I reeeeaaallyyy struggle with what they're saying. My dream country though, would be a mix of all the Nordic & Scandinavian contries. I'd have DK laws with Norwegian money&opportunites, Swedish language and Finnish school system. That'd be awesome.

But we also have the noun raritet and than it is about something rare/unusual like in english and Norwegian.

I am level B1-B2 in norsk and without subtitles I do unterstand almost all of what he says if he speaks kinda slowly. That is also thank to the tv series Broen I am watching :) the problem is that in Denmark everybody speak so fast and in real life is much more difficult to understand properly

In Hillerød they speak really slowly

many of the danish numbers comes from the herringmarket, where you would get a spear, with twenty herrings on it. If you sould order fifty, you would order an half, three, in danish - halv-tre. And since it was with twenty herrings on it, fifty was called halv-tre-sens-tyve. On old danish fifty kr. bills it written femti, but the people said halvtreds - the d is just there doing nothing.

👍👍👍👍👍

Röllgröll med flördeblörd sounds like a moose in rutting season.

The difference between Danish and Norwegian, it's like the difference between Malaysian national language Bahasa Melayu/Malaysia and Indonesian national language, Bahasa Indonesia. A lot of words seem strange between us, but basically we still can communicate with each other. Especially in casual tongue.

woow...interesting! They use "farvel" which is extremely similar to the english word "farewell", which is also an old-fashioned way of saying goodbye in english.

Although it is not used as much as some other words/expressions? It can be a bit rude because it sounds like you will never meet them again haha

Daniel Mårtensson cool, i think now i feel like danish, norwegian, and swedish are much more similar than i thought. Even the vocabulary.I was surprised to find that there is "att snacka" in swedish. å snakke= att prata

lol they're very similar. Most of us Scandinavians can read the others languages, but it's more troublesome when you have to talk to them and understand what they're saying

You'd be surprised to learn how many words in English are derived from Danish
