I swear to god, Danish pronunciation was invented by a drunk man
Edit:Folks please understand that was sarcasm.I am from Egypt and I wish I could live in a country like Denmark.I tried to learn Danish but the pronunciation is beyond difficult,thus the frustration.
Wow.
@Future WW3 P.O.W. haha are you Danish?
Sh** up
Windows Sucks ya’ll just hating because you’ll never pronounce our glorious language, sucka!
@@johannemariexd81 yeah ik
Jeeeeez, my tongue... I feel like Danish pronouciantion would be easy with anesthesia from a dentist haha
yeah! Sometimes even Danish people have a hard time pronouncing these word! :D
Sunus msp nej det har de så ik :]
Isaac Gam lupnov ik ik så gnaven, du kan jo ikke vide om alle andre er ligesom dig😒
Well i never tried having trouble prenouncing Danish words
Celine Bøgelund men at skrive engelske ord...
So you basically stick your tongue out 300% more than in some other languages. Kinda like when spongebob went deeper than Bikini Bottom with all those abyssal creatures 😂
No it’s just her everyone here in Denmark don’t do that
As a danish person I can tell you that I never put my tongue out when I speak. I dont know why she likes to do that. It is totally possible to say the words without sticking your tongue out :D
@@TheBarser She does it because it make it easier for people learning Danish to see how we pronouns the words.
With respect, these words may be difficult for non-native speakers but for those learning Danish, it would be advisable to seek a qualified teacher of how to pronounce Danish (there is an excellent one online). Sticking the tongue out is not usual when speaking and, even if it is meant to make it more obvious, it gives a wrong impression and wrong sound.
@@dannesys yes i agree i would definitely recommend getting a qualified teacher if you want to learn in the long run, my mums side is danish and i used to be fluent so i’m relearning now, these words are pretty easy once you get the hang of it
“Rødgrød med fløde” takes the cake!
Been trying to learn how to say that for 5 years
When I tried these I sounded like I was throwing up 😂
😂
Lol 😂
BLØD
XD
Ehhhhhhh lol 😂 I'm sitting here with my headphones in trying to pronounce all these random words, tongue flopping out, and my bf is staring at me from across the room like I've lost my damn mind 🤣
Watching you pronounce it and how your tongue is out helps so much. I just kept on re-watching you say the word and trying to mimic how your mouth is and it helped a lot
Fun fact: When I drove through denmark one day I saw signs at the side of the road: "Rabatten blöd", which means "Stupid flowerbeds" in german, but got the meaning of soft Roadsides you should not drive or park on. ;-)
Lol, those poor flowers being made fun of on a road sign😂
When I was little in the 80's we often went on holiday in Germany. Driving on the Autobahn, I often wondered why a lot of road signs said 'Ost', which means cheese in Danish :)
@@appeltaartistheanswe and the danish Öl (oil), which tastes like beer...
dudes Ö isnt a danish letter!! that's swedish
@@Matahalii isn't oil olie in danish?
I think as a german it is not that difficult, because ø is ö in german. The most difficult part for me was that words look similar to german words when they are written, but they sound completly different.
Uta Schubert oooh im from Denmark i Think its oppesit and sorry for speling im twölf jarh alt😀☺️☺️
Uta Schubert german is pretty is for us
In Denmark we have æ ø å
Michelle Friis Thiessen in german we have „ö,ü,ä,ß“
Ø is also ö in Icelandic
I was an exchange student in Danmark 18 years ago and I'm so happy to realise I can still pronounce those words!!! Hurra!!
The pronunciation of Danish has slowed down my learning considerably. I need more videos like yours with the basic sounds as well as the difficult words.
People say Danish is hard to learn. But really it is just the pronunciation (which can be very tricky). The grammar and vocabulary are easy for an English speaker compared to most other languages.
She just took the 'rød grød med fløde' phrase and thought we wouldn't notice
Yes!!! More Danish videos please!! I spend a lot of time studying it, however, I have only started for the first time 2 weeks ago. I am studying from many different resources but I am having a really hard time finding help with pronunciation. I love your videos. Thank you for speaking slowly and repeating multiple times because it helps me so much. Also I can simply roll back the video and hear it as many times as I want. I have clicked the bell so I can get notified when you post. The only thing that really helps is hearing a native speaker who has the patience to keep repeating their self, hahaha. Thank goodness for videos that can be rewound. Thank you again! Much love!
When the Scandinavians started to divide into separate tribes, I wonder what kind of weird circumstances caused Danish phonetic weirdness! Maybe Dutch ppl can feel at home better than other Vikings!
Definitely they got some potato stuck in their throats and drank too much alcohol to wash it down. No hate though, I love Danish language.
My theory is the location;
Danes were probably heavily influenced by the German language that uses the aired R, and then it became difficult to pronounced the ð with the new r, so the soft D was born.
I also think danish’s spelling makes it seem more potato-y than it is. If Danes kept using the ð like in Old Norse, maybe it wouldn’t seem so confusing and weird on why they pronounce their D’s so weird.
Imagine if Rød Grød med fløde was spelt Røð grøð med fløðe. Then it would make a tad bit more since to the eye.
Just a theory, though.
Hey guys. Please leave some love, if you enjoyed this video.
Hugs and love from me
elise and maybe one episode in danish language would be great
kuba but with subs
I Got all of them because I am danish😜
Jeg kan godt lide din engelske accent. Det så fedt du snakker engelsk og ikke danglish.
Glæder mig til at se flere af dine videoer
Jeg er dansker 🇩🇰
I love the Danish lessons! Please do more.
I've been learning Danish in my university for almost 3 years now and I remember how it all began and how difficult and funny it was, and now it's so familiar (thanks god) that I can't even understand why someone may find it difficult 😁
Lovely! I absolutely enjoyed your video! My Dad was an exchange student in Denmark in 1960, and I went there in 1987 to the same family. We are still close friends! I’m still working on my pronunciation. I’d love Danish language instruction videos!! Great job!
This is a huge help for me trying to learn Danish. Thank you.
did anyone make a potato in the mouth joke yet?
Hey! I thought it was the Dutch people, who spoke with a potato in their mouth! :D
Each Danish word has 4 clearly different pronunciations:
1) The one that you think it is by what you have learned so far.
2) The one the dictionary's phonetics notations teach you.
3) The one the Danish teachers teach you in their videos.
4) The one the Danish teachers actually say when they're talking fluent.
And this is why Danish is so difficult to learn!
I just found you, keep up these videos, they're great !!
This was brilliant! So interesting, and pretty funny x
That was really hard! When I was five I could say all those words but after forty years in England... not a chance! I'll try them on my 93 year old Danish dad :) Great video!
My great grandmother (I never met her) but she was full blooded Danish, so my grandmother (she died when I was five) but she taught me many danish words, that I still use to this day, oddly enough (I'm 38!!) but I say many danish words, so these were quite easy for me.
Jen Lillie how did u learn it from her if you’ve never met her?
u are actuallly really good at danish im from denamkr soo it was really fun keep it up
I'm from Eckernförde and my grandparents speak danish. I love hearing you say those words.. such a familiar sound.
Danish used to be spoken in south slesvig (Schleswig) before switching to German !
I speak 4 languages fluently, but this is really really difficult to pronounce 😀
What languages do you speak?
@@Stagprince1000 yea im curious too
what languages u speak dude?
I speak luxembourgish, german, french and english.
@@sheyla85 wow thats impressive!
I think the hardest part is is seems like there's a lot of silent letters or letters that are skipped. Like if you asked me to pronounce 1 of the words just by reading it there's no way it would sound anything like what you say lol.
Very informative tho. Lots of sticking your tongue out in Danish lol
we don't stick our tongue out tho, haha it was just to help you guys a little, because it makes it easier to say the words like that. haha
Elise Buch ahhhhh makes sense lol 🤗
Stephanie Larsh we have a lot of stumb letter in our vocabulary
Letters are pronounced differently
G is hard in the beginning of a word, but if it's in the middle of a word, it often sounds like J
D is also hard if it's in the beginning of a word, if it's in the middle or the end of a word it's usually soft (sounds like "the" or "th-")
We also have æ, ø and å
Which have their own sounds
Æ is like when you say "say" but stops mid word, so you don't get the y sound, and if you skip the s, as well, and prenounce 'a' as you would, had it been in the word "say" = you'll have Æ
Ø -I'm sorry i can't come up with any english words to illustrate how this is pronounced
Å this can actually be pronounced in more than one way:
It's like you begin to say the letter "o" but you stop halfway, you kind of chop it in half (with an edge to it)
It can also (in some words) sound like the "oo" sound in the word "poor", removing p and r, but this is only, if Å is in the middle of a word
There are many rules, both written and unwritten in the Danish language
There is as an example no manual to find out if the article should be "en" or "et" (in english the articles are "a" and "an" in French "le" and "la") this does not, however mean that you can just place them where you want. No! Every word has a correct article, but to find out which word has which article, you simply have to learn and memorize.
No female/male words to guide you, no "in front of consonants or vocals this article", No. You just have to remember them.
But I can tell you already, that the article is the same in the end when you bend it
Example:
Et træ (a tree)
Træet (the tree)
En hest (a horse)
Hesten (the horse)
Et skib (a ship)
Skibet (the ship)
En fugl (a bird)
Fuglen (the bird)
As you can see, the ending is actually just the article, moved to the end of the word and connected
I could go on but I will end this now, before I use up all the space in the comment section xD
Heidi damn Heidi du har jo næsten skrevet en hel roman hvor lang tid tog det dig?
For an Italian, they are quite difficult. But more I tried, more I became curious to learn more.
I tried every words and yes, I did it in front of some friends: apparently they found me very funny, so thank you to make us laught and learn something about your wonderful Language.
I really love your account and you seem adorable.
This is one of the most helpful videos I have found pertaining to Danish pronunciations. I’m still struggling with brød, but if I watch your video a few more times, I think I will get it! The rest seem doable, it’s just the combination of the r, ø, and the soft d that hurt my head 😅
For me say smørrebrød is the most difficult hahaha that rugbrød. Do more videos like this... I am learning danish by my own
All these words with ø sounds so funny for my German ears. :D I guess the most difficult about these words is for foreigners to pronouce them by reading them. If I only read them I would have pronouce them totally different. :D
Sônia Meyer geht mir genauso :D
This video was so fun! I would love to learn Danish! I want to learn a bit and then go visit Denmark
Omg "rød grød med fløde på" is one of my favourite ( and my uni classmates) sentences to pronounce... Our danish teacher told us that if you can pronounce rød grød med fløde på correctly then you are speking a good danish!
I really want to learn danish, I'm dutch/australian myself and danish has a similar vibe to dutch (but prettier haha) so I thought it was easier for me but still so hard
My god! Danish is so difficult! Some sound are more similar to italian so they aren't strange but some other are really difficult to pronunce!
1000 thumbs ups! Can't wait for more! 😁
Hi Elise, maybe when your leg is better, it would be great if you could visit a museum in your area, maybe one with the traditional dress of Denmark. I love these videos, thank you for sharing your language it's so cool
when I was in Denmark, in my first Danish class, I thought the teacher tried to make a joke with words xD
EASY (im from Denmark) 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
omg is so haaaard but i love learning more about the language u could do more videos about it!!
GREAT LIST! When I was in Denmark (1988-1989), I practiced saying carrot a lot "gulerod" as it was harder for me. Now on the subject of Danes trying to get you to say "RØDGRØD MED FLØDE," I would always try to have them say "very well," "The victorious vikings wandered wearily" or "the brussel sprouts are wrapped up in aluminum foil and are in the refrigerator with the rest of the vegetables" "vacuum cleaner"
I had no problems pronouncing any of the words. :D
Okay, I confess...... I'm danish, and I live in Kolding (Denmark). ;D
But yeah, danish IS one of the most difficult languages to learn (next after finnish, I think).
Example :
The word "gør" can both mean "do" and "barking".
Jeg gør = I do (something).
Hunden gør = The dog is barking (unless the dog is DOING something else). ;P
Love your videos, by the way. ;)
JGE:DK its not all that hard to learn, its just hard to speak, im learing it right now, and i just get tripped up when speaking, cuz it feels like there is a potato in my mouth
DJ_Pancake33 really...
A freaking potato
JGE:DK you're wrong bish. En hund gøer og jeg gør noget. Sådan mener jeg det er
+Maria Hansen
Ja Maria, du har helt ret, hvis hunden "gør" noget, så husk at samle op efter den 😂😂😂👍
Oh heck I had a difficult time saying all of them lol
haha I'd love to hear that
Remember when you did backing video on how to make pepper nuts, that word in danish sounded impossible to pronounce!! Love frome Berlin!
This was really fun! Definitely would enjoy more of these lessons ^_^
I feel like i'm cheating bacause i'm from norway, so I understand Danish 😂
I think I got close with cream but the others were a big nope my husband was laughing at me because my tongue placement is all wrong he's russian and laughs when I try his language too
Danish is in category 1 regarding to its difficulty. Depending on where you come from, like for english or german speaking people it's actually a quite easy language to learn. And it sounds beautiful as well 💖
super, I like this kind of videos, I live in Denmark , but I don't now Danish language :( I like the way how you explain ;)
I sound like dracular trying to pronounce these hahaha xx
Actually "Røget ørrede" (smoked trout) is harder to say than "rød grød med fløde", even for Danes!
That's actually true!
Honestly røget ørrede isn’t so hard to pronounce
not really
PDOGG hahha it’s actually true even though I’m danish and it’s easy for me to say it is harder than rød grød med fløde
no it's not i'm danish and i can say it 10 times in a row
It's hard for me but still I keep trying because I need it, thanks for this video.
So entertaining! 😄
Jeg tror mere at det er det bløde D der er svær at udtale for folk...mine tyske venner kan ikke finde ud af det i hvert fald :D
En smule sent, men det svære for folk som ikke er fra Danmark, er måden hvorpå vores ord kommer både fra halsen og fra munden (altså bagfra og forfra). På engelsk taler man fra munden.
Prøv at sige en dansk sætning og læg mærke til det.
Hvis det ikke var forstået, så er langt de fleste sprog kun fra en del af munden, derfor er dansk ualmindeligt svært at tale.
Det er d’et der dræber hahahah
Mine heller ikke lol
@@CorvintusDK på bokmål taler man fra munden så vel...
Aha
Just tried pronouncing the last sentence with my boyfriend, we were laughing so hard at the end 😂😂😂😂
Im so glad I can pronounce this!
I'm planning on visiting Denmark to visit where my great grandparents came from and do some genealogy - some of the pronunciation is intimidating
All of them! Hahhahaa.. u speak English very well for a danish gal. There is no way I could speak fluent danish. How did u learn to speak English so well Elise?
Shawna F I would know too
If you don't mind another danish girl answering your question: we are taught English in school at a pretty young age - it is a mandatory subject in school (most often 6+ years). We also watch a lot of movies and TV shows in English due to USA's and United Kingdom's roles in the film industry, and the fact that we tend to prefer subtitles over synchronization. I also prefer to read books in English, unless it's a book by a Scandinavian author - I'm pretty sure I'm not the only Dane (or Scandinavian for that matter).
In Denmark we learn english back in 2 great.
Ironical.. 2nd. Grade*
I learned fluid english when I was 10! Oh wait!! I broke a rule.. Sorry I bragged :/
haha I guess the hardest thing about the pronounciation is the “d” sound, like way more than the ø
Absolutely! It sounds like an L but much more complicated
I loooooove learning about Denmark!
I love how you say 'Good Morning' in Danish to Luna. I think it sounds very simliar to the german 'Guten Morgen' :)
Smoke and try to don't laugh when watching it :)
Little known fact: Danish People are mutants that have inhuman voice boxes and like to flaunt that they can make noises humans aren't meant to.
Pootin Plays No They dont
Easy it was a joke.
Carrie D i know
Hehehehe😂😂😂
@@trineweber5743 r/wooosh
I'm loving your videos.i am the first in my family born in the US. I have strong ties to Denmark with lots of family here. I wish my parents taught me Danish much more seriously when I was a kid. I can understand much more than I can speak, but find it difficult to carry a conversation.
Videos are wonderful
Mange tak!
TAK! ❤
Elsker din kanal Elise.❤☺
+Amalie The Fangirl mange tak, Amalie! 😊❤
Red is the hardest word :p
EASY (because I'm danish)
(Realise this video was made a year ago)
Ok
I would love more danish lessons!!
Lol what makes Danish funny to me is that initially I hear a sentence like "rødgrød med fløde", and try to pronounce it, succeed, but I hear the same phrase again and it hypnotizes me every time xD
I can. But i'm Danish so it's not really fair
Tiny Trash cool, can we be friends? I just started to learn it so I see it's very hard to me to learn alone
Thana Mar yea. You have insta? Snap? Skype?
Rød grød med fløde is a famous Danish Tongue Twisters, there is another we get every foreigner to try and say and that is - Fem flade flødeboller på et fladt flødebollefad
I know the rod grod med flode from low german, my relatives from northern Germany (and my husband) always try to get me to say that. :D Every dialect and language has some tongue twisters, too, that you can't get right, if you didn't grow up with it. I have some in my dialect, too, that we try to make people say and butcher for laughs :D
Fem flade flødeboller på fem flade flødebolle fad :-)
Bispens Gibsgebis
I learn danish in school and they told me its easy to learn! And here you are telling me its hard to learn! I dont struggle with pronounciaction but that was fun to do anyways
I think for me as a german, it isn't that hard to pronounce. But if i must read and say without hearing, it would be an absolutly catastophe haha. The hardest word for me was actually "hvedemel". And i would love to know where your jacket - or whatever it is, is from! Love this one♥️🌸
"30" sounds like "12"
I have learnt Danish for the past 7 months & these words are pretty ok to pronounce, but really is a hassle for foreigners, especially Asians (I'm Singaporean). I prefer not to stick my tongue out when I pronounce though.
no Miley Cyrus plz
Danish is spoken through both the front of the mouth and back (the throat). When you have to pronounce danish words, you have to relax your throat or you'll be messing up the words big time.
Most languages are spoken through either the front or the back, which is what makes danish a bitch of a language.
Danish can also be spoken without really moving your mouth, which you'll notice a lot in especially Copenhagen.
Hahah, most danes don’t stick their tongue out while saying Ø, don’t worry.
Well, you don't stick your tounge out when speaking danish so don't worry about that one xD
@@nejtaksandahl not at all
Searched for how to pronounce Søren Kierkegaard but found your cute video... the form of tongue when pronounce ø is so cute hahahaha
I’m danish, and I think you’re pretty badass! You pronnounce it sooo good! Love to you
I have my tongue pierced and it hits my teeth when I try 😫😅
Courtney Lynn if u only put the very tip of ur tongue on the teeth when ur gonna pronounce the soft D sound as we danes call it, then ur piercing will not hit ur teeth, its actually like if u say the th sound in teeth, then u dont have to take ur tongue that much out 😁
Yeh, I'm not sure if she's just an anomaly, but you don't have to stick your tongue out like she does to pronounce the soft Ds. My tongue is pierced as well, but I didn't even think about that problem because mine doesn't stick out like that in Danish haha!
Its weird how danish people find english so easy and english people find danish so hard? Anyway, guys there is litterally a thousand words in danish that are completely the same in english - the two languages are very similar. Its just the pronounciation. How about this sentence: "I can see a cat" - "Jeg kan se en kat" - Here english people might try to pronounce the word "Jeg" like "Djeck" - but its very similar to "I" - "I" is pronounced "aaa-eee" - "Jeg" is pronounced "eee-aaa-eee" - the vikings did so much plundering in england, that the two languages are virtually the same - just pronounced differently.
Thank you so much for pronouncing the words I was using google translator the voice is pretty good, but you helped me more. The word vinegar is closer than you know see Vingård in Danish, which is víngarði (vineyard or grape farm) in Icelandic or Old Norse. Then this is also where the word wine comes from because they grow grapes in a vineyard where they make wine. The vine part is vin see like in Old Norse min and thin is spelled mine, thine in English, but the gar part I am uncertain of the origin but it must mean sour wine.
Charming young lady.
I managed to pronounce everything correctly, though it was not easy :D
Another word for porridge is gruel, which no doubt has the same origin as Grol. I like a bit of flode in my grol.
Er du fra Danmark?😱🤙🏼❤️
+Ida Marie Nissen Jeps 🌝
Sounds just as simple as Icelandic!
Ty this is fire
Now its been 3 months I’m learning danish.
Honestly, as a German most words are easy to pronounce.
I’m really happy I managed to say these 10 (9) words and even the last sentence 😄.
What i think is more difficult is the word prøve 😅.
Tak for videoen!
And good luck for everyone trying to learn this awesome language! 🔥
Thats really cool! You're learning fast. I've been taking German classes for a year. Nothing too extreme tho, so I haven't learned much. And you're right that the pronouncations is really similar sometimes! It has helped a lot (ik your probs fluent in Danish now)
That ød combo is super hard. It doesn’t look like it should sound the way it does.
Hi Elise, I found this video very interesting. Danish is quite different from what I imagined. The D-sound or DD in the Danish vinegar seems difficult to me, the ø I found okay (although it seems to be pronounced differently in different words)... I will practice that sentence at the end before I come to Denmark :-)
dejligt video 💕
I did just fine. Im from Mississippi. U.S.A . but i love this and Russian and German.
I love Denmark so much and I’m planning to learn Danish, *hopefully* I could be fluent in one year or so.🙏🏻
I'm English.. but was brought up with a Family that spoke Danish as another language, as we lived in Denmark when I was born (my birth certificate says it was in Hillerød)... I, however, am the only 1 in the family that doesn't speak Danish as we left to move to Scotland with Dad's job when I was only 1 1/2, so was barely speaking English!! I loved watching this, I parroted the family when we would have Rødgrød med fløde as a dessert, quite often following Frikadellen. I also learned, whether this is true or not I don't know, that that phrase was used in Denmark during the war to tell if some one was a foreign spy or not, by getting them to pronounce it!! Thanks for the video, it brought a huge smile to my face watching it... :o)
very nice video, it was easy too say all the words cause i'm also Danish
She: **exists** || My heterosexuality: *I’m in danger*
Omg you so good!😱❤
My favourite Danish word is bjerg, which I only know because it appeared in an Ylvis video, lol. For those who may not know, it is pronounced like "biau" to rhyme with meow, and means mountain.
I'm from Denmark and you speak really good Danish. It sounds like you are danish
I have been married to a half Dane for more than 25 years... Her father has been kind enough to try and teach me some Danish words over the years. I have almost mastered rødgrød med fløde!
