Half of the landscape shots seemed to be from Iceland or the Faroe Islands. Yeah no, we don't have waterfalls or mountains in Denmark.
Some of the landscape shots are from Faroe Islands which is part of the Danish kingdom
@@all-about-europe And some of them are from Iceland, we haven't been part of the Danish kingdom since 1944.
@@all-about-europe So you will also show pictures of Scotland and Ireland when talking about England? The Scots and northern Irish are all subjects to the english throne, so why not call them english as well? Do you see how you might not be gaining friends in the Faroe Islands or in Iceland?
Faroe Island is Denmark..
@@SmoKKz0rno, it's part of the Danish kingdom, just að Scotland is part of the U.K.
Scotland is not English and Faroe is not Danish.
I spent 2 months their with the company I worked for. Loved every second I was there. Great people.
Thanks for sharing!
Wish my company can send me to another country
We are a shit ppl.... We are just good at hiding it when "there is company"...
And it totally depends on your race--->opinion---->appearance how we treat you... Harsh but true...
Oh thus great how can I get job there
The fact about cinnamon on your 25th birthday (if unmarried) is a tradition of north Jutland - it is less used in the rest of Denmark. Also it is on your 25th birthday only.
The tradition is the same on your 30th birthday (if you are still unmarried) - but on your 30th we use ground pepper. 😊
Denmark seems like a hidden gem! Who knew it's the happiest place? Thanks for sharing these cool facts! 🌟
I went on leave twice to Copenhagen while in the U.S. Army 1960-1963 in Germany. The G.I's called the Danish girls Joy Girls, because they loved American military guy's and would pay their own way, and even let you stay in their home, show you all around the city., Tivoli Garden, Canal boat rides, Movie Theaters, anything you felt like doing! They had normal jobs, (not Prostitution) at least not to us anyway, it was never brought up. They would even write us, and send pictures after we left! Not just me, but most of my buddies had the same kind of stories when they returned from Cope.. What a beautiful experience !! If any of you "Fantastic Ladies" are reading this.."Tusind Tak!!" You made my time in the Army well worth it! Love, from an 80 yr.old Ex Scout in Minnesota
Thanks for sharing your personal story! Hope you enjoyed the video :)
Coincidentally. I was born in Denmark. But immigrated to the US at the age of six with my parents. I was drafted in 1971, went to Germany and and took the trains to Denmark for vacation. But of course I had family there. Both sets of grandparents. And more cousins than you can count lol.
@@kurtjensen7264 Pretty nice set up you had. I was in Bamberg, Loved it!
I am 78 but have never been to Europe. Sounds like it is worth visiting .
@@ronmorrison1964 All I know Ron is how it was back then!
Love that country, was treated incredibly well there. My stepfather was a Dane and brought me there (1989). He taught me a lot about Danish culture, especialy open faced sandwiches (best Herring in the world) and then a snort of Akvavit, and then on to Flounder and many more courses, three hours of joy... all the way to the grapes and cheese. Hell i may have some Danish in me, they founded Dublin, lots of blue eyed Irish there. was there last month.
Sounds incredible
❤❤ great
Finland has been nominated as the happiest country in the world for the last 6 years consecutively, including 2023. But denmark is a close in a second place.
Yes, we confirm this in our latest video about Finland :)
The land of the eternal sunshine, where the joy and happiness never ends. Driving in the morning traffic through the cities you only see the brightest smiles on peoples faces, greeting each other joyfully, while singing the happiest songs. What a joy...

Sincere congratulations to Denmark. Keep it up.
Thank you very much!
Nice video... beautiful people, culture & scenery... tak! 😀
Thank you! 😃
You forgot to mention. that there is over 220 different dialects of the Danish language in Denmark alone .. I once worked with a bunch of people up north in Jylland and in a 15 min. coffee break we had two persons comparing their daily talking and found over 30 differences in their way of pronouncing words and sentences .. they lived only 25 km from each other but belonging to different 'kommune' (Blokhus og Hjørring)!!!
😅 3:13
@@C.L.Burton what do you mean? Your time spot is about bathing in the habours
@jonasiz5492 The scientists: There is 3 groups Jysk, ømål and bornholmsk. In between the groups, there is about 40 different dialects, but that is, what the scientists has decided to distinguish between .. not taken in mind, what I did write initially, 2 persons living 25 km apart speaks different. Or Alsisk and Dybbølsk (one of the south-east spoken Sønderjysk) with only 75 m of water between. One teacher/lector/professor at Aarhus Uni took the time .. with his class.. to register the language differences and came to 220 diff. ways/words/expressions in Danish language
Fascinating!!! ❤ I love everything about the beautiful kingdom of Denmark!! ❤ Thanks for sharing !!
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed!!
Love Kringle and seven sisters ! Racine WI. Is called Little Denmark ! Once had many family owned Danish bakeries !
Great people, great country!
100% agree the people there are very friendly. So is the case for the other Scandinavian countries
I lived in Denmark when I was a boy. I went back on vacation when I was 29 yrs. Old. My parents had made a lot of friends .. For real they treated me like a king .Just like I knew them all my life. I felt like their special guest (Im not so special) They would show me all around town. So I left a part of my heart in Denmark.
Sounds like an amazing experience!!
I was born in Denmark. And when I was six years old, my father wanted to move to America. So much has changed since the 50s I can hardly recognize my native land. But I find myself loving it more and more. I just can’t understand why I never moved back when I grew up.
@@kurtjensen7264 My wife passed away in 2012. If I would have had the money at that time, I would have left Minn., and retired in Denmark . I think my one and only son would have followed., but life here isn't bad!
Yes, mostly people are very nice, with other danish, but 99% of them are rasist. I went through and still go through such experiences, even with the "best" people I thought they were...but actually they are not...They just smile fakely at tourists, that's all...If you want to see a real face of danish, ask him to do something for you, to help you 👌 For them, danish, there is no such thing in their culture, "mutual help." 😅
@@bombaro2001 just pulled the poor little victim card?
I am Indian, my name is Pranab Borah.I am an Artist and an Architect by profession. I would love 💓 to visit Denmark.
"Janteloven" coined in Norway by a Danish Author, in a novel, is a rather universal rule, which only we have a name for!!
What a nice video. The fact that you've taken such interest in learning about and informing others of our country is flattering. Of course it cannot be expected of you to get 100 out of 100 facts completely correct, but nothing is so far off as to be offensive or in the category of 'misinformation'. Great job!
thanks a lot! I appreciate your comment
getting almost every fact? wrong, isn't really nice, it's stupid and misleading
no,
I was at the bronze statue of the Little Mermaid at the North Sea coast in Copenhavn overlooking Maalmo of Sweden. - Oraculum
You could also add these:
1) We have a very strict line queuing rule that you MUST obey :).
2) In old times, about 30 years ago or so, my parents and other old-timers left their doors unlocked. The neighbors just walked in as if they all belonged to the same home.
3) The stores also didn't lock some of their wares.
4) People would sell potatoes, berries, and other items on the road next to their houses and lay a small box where you could put the money.
Thanks for the insights!
Yep, somethings have really changed here. Not all for the better. I am afraid this video will not age well.
But at least we still tend to have disrespect for entitled, self important and arrogant people. So know, that anyone who visited Denmark and had a good experiment here are none of those. And we will be happy to see them here again.
NB: many of the clips off nature used in this video is not something you can find in Denmark. We have no mountains at all here. Mostly rather flat terrain. Can't say the same for our woman's though. ;)
4. that still happens here on nordsjælland
30 years is the olden times, Silly me I was thinking like a thousand years!!
My ex-husband is Danish...we have 19 yrs old twins with dual citizenship. It is a lovely country and so are the people.
Everything I thought I knew about Denmark was from watching every episode of “Borgen.” 😏
My Dad's side of the family is Danish. I look forward to visiting the country soon
I've visited family over in Danmark several times. I found it to be a wonderful country. Mostly friendly to tourists and travelers. Seems the environment and social structure plays well with attitude and well being in ones place and inclusion in society. No one person is better than the other. Great country to visit and soak in up Koebenhawn but get to the small towns and places in country. Some are plucked right out of a H.C. Anderson story.
Thanks for sharing. I hope much more people will become inspired to visit this beautiful country!
This was fascinating and informative. Thank you.
thank you!
They didn’t mention the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, one of the best orchestras in the world.
Sorry, there are much more fantastic facts about Denmark. We couldn't just cover everything in one single video 😊
well they can't tell us everything, they had to tell us about the bacon!!
Hi I thank you for this video it was very informative, will be looking for more,and hopefully I can visit this country soon!
Glad you enjoyed it! You should do that :)
I love that country stayed there for 2 years.
I was born in Denmark, but I was only six years old when we moved to America. I had no idea it was against the law to eat raw bacon on a full moon. But I do believe you left out.no one can own the beach in Denmark, It is considered no man’s land. You can strip down naked and lay on the beach.
Thanks for sharing. Yeah its a very odd law
And there is no law what so ever in any of the old nor the never laws saying anything like "not eating raw bacon in full moon" .. it is just a hoax as the one saying
"if the Big or Small Belt freezes solid, you are allowed to hit a Swedish person with a stick walking on them without any consequence"
should be from the time of the fighting between the Danes and the Swedes .. But is NOT mentioned in any law either ....
The beach thing is, that the beaches in Denmark are .. up to where the high tide marks are ... every mans lands "hvermands eje" and nobody can fence or close it off from public. Someone forgot to tell the house owners on Strandvejen, but that is "money talking" .. good friends with the politicians .. paying to campaigns, etc.
The nude act is also severely changed / altered since the so called "danes of other ethnic origin than Danish" has 'invaded' Denmark. Now it has to be signed and marked/fenced, where you can do "Freie Körper Kultur" .. nudist bathing .. strip down and jump the waves naked ...
What the mo**ron yank making this shyte didn't mention is, that there in fact is an old law saying, that you have to give a person a glass of water and access to the toilet, if he/she is asking for it ...
a law so old, the toilet was that little house at the back with a heart cut out in the door or a row of "potties" down in the back yard of the block in fx. Copenhagen.
😂 As a Dane, I can tell you that nobody here knows about that law. And why would you even eat raw bacon? 🤪
@@DamHansen Noone can find the so called law so there isn't a law about bacon.
@@all-about-europe The law dos not exist. It is just a made up thing that is retold by people as if it is a real thing. There is also an old fake law saying that if the straight between Denmark and Sweeden frezeeses it is okay to punch the swedes in the face.
Its correct they are way more happy .
We share a land border with Canada too
You forgot to mention, I think, the one thing Denmark is most known for in the US, and that is Danish pastry. When I was in Denmark it was everywhere, even in vending machines on the Stroget.
You are right, Danish pastry is very well known. We will add in a future video about the country
It is mentioned, but as many other facts in this video, things are poorly explained. It is "Wienerbrød" at 9:26. That is what danish pastry is called in Denmark. "Vienna bread". Back in the days Denmark had a high demand for bakers, and a bunch of bakers from Vienna came to work here. This is the legacy of their craftmanship.
I remember an advertisement of a phone company showing two guys sitting on a porch in the US. The phone rings, and the guy receiving it answers it in US-English, but swiftly goes to speak Danish. After he hangs up, the other guy asks: "What language was that?" The first guy answers: "That was Danish". The second guy asks: "Danish..? Ain't that something you eat?"
MAN when you said ingen ko på isen you nailed it tho in an arabic accent but man you did that so well and i understood it. That alone deserves a like.
Love Denmark. Everything about it. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Denmark is wonderful
I'm a young danish man and i really learnt a lot. Great video 🙂
Glad to hear that!
@@all-about-europe Going through all these videos of yours with different countries, I can't stop wondering where you are from? if you don't mind me asking ofc
Dane here to comment about #23 - I'm 44 years old and live near Copenhagen. Never heard about cinnamon being thrown at people. There is a custom about people turning 30 while being unmarried when they are gifted black pepper.
København javist.. men du må have boet under en sten. Ugift som 25 = kanel, men kun den ene gang, ikke hvert år efter som påstået.
Copenhagen yes.. but you must have been living under a rock. Unmarried at 25 = cinnamon, but only the one time, not every year after as claimed.
Had to look it up. Seems to be a tradition from the western part of the country, which probably is why I've never heard of it.@@mremil321
It's probably in another comment but, since 2022 we also share a landborder with Canada (Hans Island in the Arctic, the end of the Whisky War).
other well known Danish people are:
Mads Mikkelsen known for Hannibal, Rouge One and many other movies(he is they guy from the Carlsberg cormecials, the one you see in the video).
Mad's brother Lars Mikkelsen known for playing and voicing Thrawn from Star Wars.
Viggo Mortensen known for Aragon in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and some other movies,
Pilou Asbæk known from Game of thrones as Euron Greyjoy(he plays villains in a lot of American movies) and yes there where more Danes in GoT but they are not that known outside Denmark.
Lars Ulrich from Metalica is from Denmark
Helena Christensen the 80/90 supermodel is also from Denmark.
Birgitte Nielsen known from Red Sonja, Beverly Hills cop 2.
just to name a few :)
This was excellent! Loved all 100 facts!
Thanks so much!
We have 2 land boarders. Germany and Canada.
Denmark shares border with 2 countries as of not many months ago. Denmark trough Greenland now also shares a border with Canada
Appriciate.
Thank you!
Sounds like a awesome place, we need more of them in this world.
❤️
super place to live,says an expat Brit living in Denmark since 19698.Incidentally,the little mermaid in Copenhagen is not the largest mermaid statue in the world - not even in Denmark.There is a 3 metre high mermaid statue on the Faroese island of Kalsøy.
Thanks for sharing!
the reason you are allowed to burn the Danish flag-is that it is the right historical way to dispose it "as it shall never touch the ground"
4:24 I as a Dane have never in my 34 years of life heard of this one before... 🤣🤣
edit: Looked it up It's pretty much only a thing in Julland/Jutland. 👍
We also share border with Canada through a small island called Hans.
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it!
@@all-about-europe And the island, is in sort of a friendly dispute, betveen Denmark, and Canada.. Everytime, Denmark is there to switch the Flag with a new, 1 they, place a Bottle of " Gammel Dansk" on the canadian side of the island, and when the Canadians are there, they place a bottle of Canadian Club whiskey on The danish side of th Island..
Honestly that tradition made me kind of sad 😂 Is it very uncommon to be single in your 30s in Denmark? I mean of course it's not the norm but that part of the video made me feel like I would be an outcast if I moved there being 31 and single
Nice, but it looks that if Denmark is flat as one knows, many of the scenes pictured are not from Denmark as on many, we see hills and mountains in the backgroung, way higher than the highest Denmark hill...
Correct .The green hills and the mountains are most likely filmed in The Faroe Islands, a part of Denmark located between Great Britain and Norway.
@@AScareDKthe Faroe Islands are absolutely not a part of Denmark. They are a part of the danish Kingdom, but that is like saying Scotland is a part of England because it's part of the United Kingdom. Faroese people are not danish, we have our own flag, our own language, our own food and culture.
Thanks for a very informative, but I have a few things .... first of all a lot of the pictures/videos are NOT from Denmark But from Greenland and the Faroe Islands which are not part of Denmark. They belong to The Kingdom of Denmark but are individual self-governing countries.
And Denmark is way more than just Copenhagen.
Thanks for the feedback, its appreciated!
That was a hyggelig video :)
Not everything was spot-on, but I was intertained!
We never honk the horn when vi start the cars, that would be so annoying! ;)
Thanks for the video!!
A lot of great facts, although some seem a little outdated/overexaggerated. For example, covering someone in cinnamon when they turn 25 is an old custom, but most people don't really do it anymore. And the whole thing about checking the car before driving, is something we are supposed to do, but no one really does. I have never seen anyone honk the horn before driving.
Also, for future episodes like this (not just for Denmark), I would recommend using google translate to get an idea for the pronunciation of words and names. Some of the words in this video was said pretty well, but a lot were nowhere near correct, and if a danish person heard it, they would not know what was being said. So a quick listen on google translate, and then trying to replicate the sounds, would vastly improve this.
But overall a great video!
Thanks for your detailed feedback, will pass the pronounciation tip along to our voiceover guy :)
Scarlet Johansson, actually got a Danish Brother.
As a Dane, I must say that there is a lot in this video that is plainly wrong or overly exaggerated. And some things have been outdated for quite some time. Also, while we really love when people try to speak Danish and pronounce our words, I did kind of expect a video about my country to pronounce the words and sayings just somewhat right 😅 If I was foreign to Denmark, and I wanted to learn about this country, I would find another video, honestly.
I'm pretty sure that it is a computer speaking ;)
May be you could have mentioned some of the big Danish compagnies as Maersk, Vestas, Danfoss, Grundfos and Novo Nordisk, wich is one of the most valuable compagnies in Europe.
In Europe? Novo Nordisk is currently the 14th highest valued company in the world, beating giants, like Toyota and Coca Cola. It has a value of $454 billion.

#85: "Drivers in Denmark attach flags in front of their cars to warn horse drawn carriages, that a car is coming" Hahahaha - no, we don't 🙂
thanks for the feedback!
Its acually a warning to cyclist that you will get a flag pole up the ass if you stray off the bike path.
I should mention as a Dane. That blonde is not the permanent hair color in Denmark. Brown is my hair and my entire family. And we are pure Dane‘s reaching back to the Vikings. Blonde comes from Sweden. And this is from mixed marriages. And the original royal family is dark-haired.
No one in Denmark has relations to the vikings anymore. I think some of the last viking decendens dissapeared in the 15th. century.
Island still have directly related families from the vikings. In Denmark it’s all mixed up with Swedes, germans, polish and english people.
@@andersjacobsen5838watch the video "Which country has the most blondies? The answer is Finland.
The research and studies tell Finland has got percentually most ppl with blue eyes, blond hair and white complexion. Also they are tall.
@@andersjacobsen5838 You got to be kidding, so all who Was related to the Vikings left the country in the 15th century???????

@@all-about-europe : In the Faroese tradition known as grindadráp, or grind for short, hunters surround pilot whales and dolphins with a wide semi-circle of fishing boats and drive them into a shallow bay where they are beached. Fishers on the shore slaughter them with knives.
Every summer, images of the bloody hunt make headlines around the world and are met with outrage among animal rights defenders who consider it barbaric.
@@laplaneteverte2958 ohhh but it is not barbaric, that they butcher millions of cows, sheep, chicken, etc except pigs in a so called halal way in the muslim world .. cut the throat and let them bleed to death!!!?

Skat can mean 3 things: Tax, dear and treasure which is what you refer to when calling your sweetheart for "skat".
Rugbrød = Roux brød
Flagermus = Flower moose
Funny that you should mention Janteloven ensures equality as that sounds like a positive. The wording is certainly far more focused on that *you* should delude yourself that you are better than *me*.
It is fictitious, though.
We wait for the light to turn green, because its illigal to cross if its red..
there are over 1000 islands in Denmark
For being about Denmark, this video shows a lot of footage of nature from other places.
While many eat the red sausage, it's definitely not the most popular.

No The cinema in Korsør is not located in Copenhagen, it is on the westcoast of Zealand, the Island Copenhagen also resides on.
Fun walkthrough yet several points are at best outdated or slightly wrong to "fairytales/gossip"
Still fun to watch though ;)
The oldest monarchy is japan (660 BCE), Denmark 8th century CE. Sorry
Are they not emperors? I mean Danish royals are not emperors. Are that not two different things? I am not saying one are better or worse than the other but simply that a royal are not emperors and then ask if emperors are royals. Genuine question. Traditionally the Japanese emperor´s were considered a living god. That have never been the case with Danish royals. That are some difference in itself...
@@Mike-zx1kx Emperors are supposed to be "King of kings"; nothing to do with godhood.
@@abencherif Had to do a read at Wikipedia. Interesting actually. Seems the King of kings have been used around the world, also in Europe but also for the former Shah of Persia (Iran/you cannot be emperor without a nation so guess he lost that title but might be able to keep "king") and others. It mentions that the British monarch, when India were part of their Imperial family only used the title emperor inside India but not at home in UK. I just make a small copy/paste below as well of something related.
"For purposes of protocol, emperors were once given precedence over kings in international diplomatic relations, but currently precedence among heads of state who are sovereigns-whether they be kings, queens, emperors, empresses, princes, princesses and, to a lesser degree, presidents-is determined by the duration of time that each one has been continuously in office."
Simply because it then, now where I have had my misunderstanding corrected (and thank you for that) it gives me the opportunity to mention that The Danish Queen, Queen Margrethe the second, now are the oldest reigned Monarch in the world with over 50 years on the throne. She overtook the highest ranked Monarch, as per protocol, after the sad passing of the former British Queen Elisabeth.
Denmark older then 800 ce that was where the Vikings took the world the flag and country is even older also older then Japan if u go deep research☺️

I am a 60 year old dane and I have never seen the many mountains and waterfalls pictured here. This must be on the Faroe Islands in that case. Beautiful, nevertheless
Its on the Faroe Islands indeed, which is part of the Kingdom of Denmark :)
Danes have explained to me the real reason they're the "happiest" people: Low expectations. When anything works out, its a bonus. Pessimism is actually practical.

Hmm. I'm Dane and there are a lot of these facts I didn't know, and some are not so. But a story is only as good as the source.
this is the best video on denmark ive ever watched for the simple reason of this guy trying so many times to pronounce danish words and actively failing harder than anyone ive heard😂
for the record, after watching the entire video, he did not pronounce a *single word* correctly lmao and a lot of that shit he said i know for a fact isnt true 🤷♂
Cinnamon is only on the 25th birthday lol. Would be horrible if it was on every birthday after that. The tradition is also more common in the western part of the country than it is in the eastern.
J-day is not on November 5, but is first Friday of November. And its mark both winther has begun and that Tuborgs Julebryg (Tuborgs Christmas Beer) has been released, and it starts at 20:59 (8.59PM) Its called J-day becouse of the Julebryg, and it was a funny gemic invented by a ad-company and it has been sticky around since then to the point of be considered a national tradition-day

when you showed the Folketing you showed "Inger Støjberg", who is one of the most controversial people in the Folketing
Nothing was mentioned about the weather. I'm sure they were wearing a lot of summer clothes in the pictures on days I would need a coat.
Hillarious 😂😂🤣🤣
you are so almost right in so many things xD
6:18 Now let's see in 10 years. Just look at Sweden.
we dont have the oldest flag but we do have the oldest flag still in use. we also share a border with canada on hans island
Denmark is a small country, but the Kingdom of Denmark is huge, mainly because of Greenland. Some of the clips are from Greenland as well, where we also share a land border with Canada on Hans Island.
What is going on with no 85???
89; no one does that.
Can't believe I actually listened to the end. Informative? Not really, but got some good laughs 🙂 And the pronunciation of danish words, hilarious 😂
A small correction to fact 23). Cinnamon is only smeared on people on their 25th birthday. If they remain unmarried by the age of 30, cinnamon is replaced by pepper. However most people do not get smeared consequtively, even if they remain unmarried. :)
Denmark today also share a land border with Canada. Just saying 😁
And points for trying to pronounce some words😁
That looks like a nice place to live
It is!!
@@all-about-europe Just prior to your upload The Kingdom of Denmark (thus including Faroe Islands and Greenland) suddenly went from having one land border,as we have had "forever" to two! First you mention, the one with Germany but the second (new one) are with Canada at Hans Ø (Hans Island). This also are the newest officially recognised border in the world. Became official around a month before this were uploaded. The Kingdom of Denmark (Here read/understand Greenland) owns 60% of the rocky island and Canada 40%. The story behind this new coastline are long and a video worth in itself (I think some have made it).
Besides that it must have taken some time to make, so, well done, you.
Thats not even denmark and you have only seen København and btw its NOT
It's called "Roskilde Festival" - Roskilde is host city's name
I know Danish is a hard language to speak, but you really managed to slaughter the language ;) I hardly understood most of the placenames. Your Æ and Ø were great, but Å was plainly wrong. I figure spending a few more minutes on the pronunciation of the placenames and letters could help regarding that :) Doesn't need to be perfect, but it just looks rather rushed in my world.
Thanks for sharing :)
It turns out living in your fridge makes you happy. Vitamin D linked to happiness and low depression. Less sun in Denmark = less Vitamin D = less happiness.

people in Denmark only get cinnamon when they turn 25 year and then when they turn 30 year they get pepper
A few corrections and additions:
4: The term "Janteloven" (the law of Jante) was invented by the Danish-Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose in 1933. It was *not* presented as a positive thing at all. Nor was it a positive thing when I went to school. However, during the last decades or so, it has apparently been turned around to pose as a positive part of Danish society.
5: The correct way to retire an old Danish flag is actually to burn it.
10++: The pronuciation of most Danish words in this video is *way* off. It is pretty clear that the narrator has little or no knowledge of the Danish language. It may be artificial speach, though, as the attempts at pronouncing Danish place names sometimes sound a bit mechanical.
26: The letter "å" is not pronounced as in the video, but more like the the beginning vowel sound of "Oh".
28: Denmark technically shares a land border with Canada on the tiny island "Hans Island" between northern Greenland and Ellesmere Island.
36: Arresø (the largest lake by area) is located on the northern part of the island Sjælland (Zealand). Not "between the northern part of Copenhagen and Zealand".
62: This varies from family to family. It is not a general rule.
68: There are 27186 female names, 22088 male names and 1421 gender neutral names. Not just 7000 in total.
75: Many Danish words have more than two meanings. The word "fyr" has at least six.
77: This practise has largely been abandoned, because uncooked rice is bad for birds that tend to eat it, and the rice also attracts rats.
80: What? Just... WHAT??? This is not a law, and has never been a law in Denmark.
85: Okay, that may have been practised 100+ years ago. It certainly hasn't been done for ages.
87: Guests stomping their feet (during dinner): The married couple crawl under the table and kiss. Guests vigorously clinking their drinking glasses with utensils: The couple stand on their chairs and kiss.
88: A large part of Europe, including the Nordic countries and Germany, celebrate Christmas on the evening of the December 24. This is not a specific Danish tradition.
89: I have never heard of this law, and have not been able to confirm its existence. Apparently, it is nowhere to be found in Færdselsloven (Traffic law).
91: J-day (J-dag) is the day that the Christmas beer (Juleøl) becomes available. It is not a holiday. In the spring, there is P-day, the day when the Easter brew (Påskebryg) becomes available. This is also no holiday.
98: Korsør is located in the south-western part of Zealand. Not Copenhagen. I have a suspicion that the narrator has confused the city of Copenhagen with the island(s) it is located on.
100: Yes, Roskildefestivalen is always hosted in Denmark, because the Danish city Roskilde (where the festival is held) tends to stay in Denmark, and does not move abroad much.
I general: While I cannot be absolutely sure, I strongly suspect that a number of the grand nature images have nothing to do with Denmark.
Its only on the 25th birthday we get cinnamon thrown at us, after that we dont get things thrown at us before we hit 30, then if were still not married we get pepper thrown at us X-D
I am a dane, and I live in Denmark..... and I love it, and am proud to do so,,,, nice video. Thanks. But some clips are NOT from Denmark. More likely from Norway or Iceland.
Thanks! Some of them are from Faroe Islands
Very nice design and opinion, not a single penny of all the irregularities in the country and attention to old and new taxes. I hope the opinion is the same and all references, study and research are not distributed in old projects.
The oldest cinema is in Korsør.... Literally 113 kilometers from Copenhagen
