    I went to Australia once and we met an American family in "Ripley's Believe it or not". I don't recall exactly where they were from, but I knew about the city and which state it was in. We told then we were from Denmark, a town called Randers, and they asked: "Is that far from Amsterdam?" We were like: "Uhm, yeah - it's a different country" (thinking they'd mixed up Denmark and The Netherlands). The woman's next question almost blew my mind: "So, is Denmark one of the bigger cities?" My friend and I looked at each other and we tried to patiently explain that Denmark is a country, that Randers is one of the bigger cities in that country, and that Amsterdam is the capital of another country named The Netherlands. When the couple's next question was if we speak Dutch in Denmark, we gave up and pretended that we had to get moving, because we were meeting someone soon 😂

    I work as a cashier in a discount supermarket on Amager. The thing about saying something out of the ordenary is a big surprice for folks like you.
    When I say " Jeg håber du har en pragtfuld dag" ("I hope you have a wonderfull day), ppl like you alway go " sorry I'm english speaking".
    But the problem is that your "Hej" ("Hey"), sounds to danish.
    Put a thick accent on in like HEEEYyy or as the germans do and use "Hallo"

    The sun thing is definitely because we get more direct sunlight in the summer than areas that are further south. It's literally the angle the sun hits the earth at that makes it more concentrated.

  • @JohnnieHougaardNielsen

    English also has huge differences between spelling and pronunciation, lots of words could be spoken very differently, and then you just have to know how.
    One reason for getting burned by the sun in Denmark is that (compares to the US), the amount of time with sunlight is much longer in the summer.

    Fun fact!
    When I was in New York many years ago I went to see a baseball game, because...well, you haven't really been to the US if you haven't seen a baseball- or "football"-game :P
    As I watched it, it reminded me SO MUCH of "rundbold", which I'm sure you'll have been made acquainted with by now :P
    And as my American friend explained the rules to me, and I found myself thinking "This is basically slightly more elaborate rundbold", I noticed a couple of rows in front of us there was a kid of....no more than 12, I think who sat with his dad, and he could NOT stop staring at me 😅
    He was much too polite to say anything, but I could TELL by the look on his face that he was completely flabbergasted. I could almost hear him think
    "How are you an adult and don't know all of this already?!" 😅

    99% of all yankee caps worn in Denmark are worn by people with no idea of it being affiliated to a sports team, even less a baseball team. They were all over the place in the 90's and 00's. Pretty sure most people thought it was just a brand.

    So the baseball thing, as a danish transplant to SOcal, was something I felt I had to learn, when I moved to the US. And after seeing Kurt Gibsons homerun in the 1988 game one of the World series at Dodger stadium, just proved that point. I did not know what happening at the time, I just went with my girlfriend at the time, because her family had season tickets to Chavez Ravine ( Dodger Stadium). From that day on, I took it upon myself to learn about the game and became a huge Padres fan and still am to this day. Seen hundreds of games since that day in October 1988 and listen to the Pads games on the radio everytime they play. Just one note, hate the Yankees and ofcourse them Red sox - tak for de sjove historier om Danmark - keep up the good work, boys......

    About the sunburn, I'm pretty sure it's because you haven't been exposed to the sun for like 8 months and suddenly when spring and summer arrives, you take off your clothes and get a burn. Also, isn't the danish soft D a bit like the English th? Modig (brave) is almost pronounced mo-th-ee.. Well, and then you can go to Jutland and they use the hard D instead of the soft D. LOL, I'll stop talking about soft and hard D's now.. :) Great channel though you guys. I'm happy you are enjoying living in Denmark.

      The sounds are not the same. I only recently learned that, and I can still not hear the difference. But some Americans say the Danish soft D is more like than L. It does not sound like L at all to me.
      The Danish soft D is pronounced with the tip of your tongue behind your lower front teeth. The English th of "there" is pronounced with the tip of the toungue between the front teeth.

    To be fair the soft consonants are hard for kids too. Although mostly when it comes to spelling. In my 0 grade class I remember we had a poster with the silent d’s and g’s. Of course they aren’t completely sound sand and sagn have a silent d and g but are not pronounced the same. Especially the silent or hidden g will really change how you pronounce the word kinda like if it was spelled savn wich is a completely different word. We have a suprising amount of four letter words with s a and n now that I think about it

    Regarding the pronunciation, I'm both lucky and unlucky, o was born in England to Danish parents, and for a long time had an English accent as a kid. But when we moved to Denmark, I finally learned properly and mostly down to my grandma sitting with me and reading with me, writing with me, without my grandma I wouldn't be very good at Danish. But yes, we are terrible at actually pronouncing things, it's so different from how it's spelt, and I learned that the hard way too, since I could speak it, but I couldn't read or write, I learned the hard way, that Danish spelling/pronunciation is dumb.

    • @RobeTrotting

    @thedanishcatgirl3205 Рік тому

    Isn’t rundbold kinda similar to baseball? The game is with 2 teams one forms a queue waiting to swing the bat and then run around the field. The other team has to retrieve the ball and throw it to a teammate who is waiting down by the other team. We said teammate gets the ball they yell stop. If the runner is not at one of the three based they are out. The teams will regularly switch positions. Of course I know there are still many differences like rundbold is played square, the ball is just a Tennisball, there’s no protective gear and it’s not an official sport but a game that can easily be set up for a birthday party or PE at school. But I have always felt like it might be inspired
    Edit apparently according to the Danish lexicon baseball is based on the old English games rundbold and cricket so it’s the opposite of what I thought

      Dutch and Danish are of course very different languages, but they sound similar. Was a the KLM airport few years ago, and when you don't listen closely, the background talking actually sounds a lot like Danish. But when you actually listen, there isn't much in common.
      Danes are also relatively tall, but we aren't as high... Weed isn't as accepted here :D.
      The Netherlands is also a wealthy country and, afaik, shares similar welfare/social benefits as the Nordic/Scandinavien countries are known for.

    You probably get so sunburned because you got used to the no sun and forget to take care of your skin when it’s suddenly sunny and you want to take advantage of the little sun.
    Personally even though being born and having lived all my life in Denmark (and being about 2/3 Scandinavian and ~99% European) if I get a tan in the spring and summer (i don’t get tan any other way than from the sun) I will be very likely to keep at least 50% of that tan into winter. It just kinda stays around. And I really rarely get sun burned

    Yeah, danish is difficult.. its just this that I live on the west coast of sweden and my father comes frome Skåne, (Scania), so im used to Danish! I know that they dont pronuned every letter, but the words in spelling is very similar.. so I have to listen to the flow of words and setences to understand!
    It still this that one can understand one other without changing to english!
    However guys, I have a challange for you, take the train to Malmö and trye out your danish/english/swenglish on the swedish side!
    But do this in summer season.. becuse we all want to promote this thing thats cald.. bigger Copenhagen, wich include "Skåne"!
    Another tip is.. visit Bornholm, the last place there they speak east danish, some danes say they speak like swedes, singsong and pronuns the letters.. I can confirm, much more easyer danish to understand!

      ø gøre is pronounced differently from køre also grøn
      the æ is a different vowel in kælder and in bære.
      also the same case as written on wikipedia "danish phonology"
      I am currently writing a book for different patterns to get the correct pronounciation most of the time.

      You would be understood, but ø sounds different. When saying the ø-sound in "earth" I almost feel out of breath. Hard to explain, but the Danish ø is a more natural and simple sound. It is a shorter and more distinct sound. Can't explain it, but the placement of the tongue is also a little different. It is not a bad way to explain the sound to foreigners, I think :)
