Må jeg bede om peber? Der er en form for venligst. Anderledes end måske normalt. I Slesvig Holsten siger vi, at landet er så fladt, du kan se, hvem der kommer på besøg i næste uge ;) I det nordlige Tyskland er folk så direkte, men ikke så søde og i godt humør, måske fordi de skal bede om alt. De er ikke så frie omkring deres status i samfundet, at alle har en "vi"-følelse eller en "menneske"-følelse.

40 degrees that's an ambulance, your life can be in danger and you will be partly unconscious. 39,5 and rising, I would call an ambulance. The winter:live with it, don't fight it. Be active in the winter too. Eat kale, lookup "grønkål", its a superfood. Unfortunately, the Danes have more or less forgotten our winter food. The Germans have not, they still eat sauerkraut, it gets them through the winter. In the winter, eat kale once or twice a week. Grønkål suppe, stuvede hvidkål, brunkål and others. Find an old recipe book, don't use modern recipes on the net. When "food-science" shall explain Grønkål, they say that without it, there would be no Scandinavia. It made sure that people were healthy in the old days. It is very interesting food. Latin: Brassica oleracea var. sabellica

More options, doesn't make your shopping easier.

English has been mandatory in school since 1943. I don't know if you know, German is also mandatory, only in 4 years, so we are not very good at it. English from first day in school. So all native Danes speak English and German. Imagine, your kids will speak: Danish, French, English and German.

Yes, we are very informal. As an example, should you meet our Prime minister, you can her by her first name, Mette. Only the Royals (so far) you use the old form: De, Dem and Deres. Some years ago I had some online meetings with a couple of Brits, it took me some time to convince them not to call me Sir. I really hate it. This old way of speaking was dropped in the late 60s, I think it was.

I live very close to Odense. The best thing about Copenhagen, is that there is a big toll bridge between Odense and Copenhagen.

What is so special and famous in Denmark that can be gifted to someone?

Have a look at Kerteminde for a house. Very good bus connections to Odense, at least 3 buses an hour in rush hour. Outside rush hour, 2 buses. Evening 1 bus an hour. Kerteminde to Odense by car, under 30 minutes.

You look like eva green! Have you ever tried darker hair and smokey eyes 🤩

Actually what do you mean? Danish pastry is the best in the world!!!

The Danish supermarkets are so boring. It is incredibly depressing to see the same old cakes and biscuits in ALL supermarkets, the only difference is in the price!

I suspect the "best date" question came from the US. Europeans don't date like they do in the US, and Nordics don't date at all 😂

Ladcykel - cargobike (3 wheel)

I live in Odense and I hope that you have found yourself at home in the city. We are always happy to have tourists and newcomers settle here. We hope that you have found yourself comfortable here and thank you for the wonderful video from my hometown.

I'd say the most important thing here, is please do learn the traffic rules. Along with the Netherlands, we probably have the most cyclists of _any_ country. Everyone rides their bike everywhere. However, on the main roads there is a raised bike path specifically for the cyclists, and on the side streets etc. there will at the very least be a marking to let you know which part is a bike lane, and which part of the road is meant for the cars. Those of us who drive cars, will never, _ever_ drive in the bike lanes. But, as a cyclist, and this goes out to every Danish cyclist as well, please do signal your intentions - if us motorists can see that you intend to make a right-hand turn, we won't have to wait to verify that you're _not_ planning on crossing infront of us, and that helps traffic flow a _lot_ smoother. Also, signalling your intentions, makes it a lot safer for you as you don't confuse someone driving about a ton of steel. For the tourists, just follow the local cyclists, except when they misunderstand the red light, yellow means "clear the crossing", it doesn't mean "I can at least get the front wheel over the line before it changes to red, and therefore I am perfectly fine and totally within my rights to continue". You are _not._ If you do that, you should probably be glad I don't drive bulldozer. Or a tank. The point is that you _stop_ on yellow, otherwise you're fucking up the flow because others will have to wait for you to clear the intersection, and you're not really _that_ important. Tourists, don't be like self righteous Danish cyclists, be better.

As a Dane I can confirm you are not supposed to look into the houses :D But I think everyone does it anyways, just in a smerky way, the curiosity is insane

I'm Danish, and besides Denmark I've lived in Belgium the US. Belgian supermarkets are generally much better than Danish supermarkets. Many more options to pick from. Belgian supermarkets are probably much like supermarkets in France. Still, Danish supermarkets are better than American supermarkets, but that's a diffeeent story.

Wait until you try tap water in Norway 🤭 No calc like in Denmark 😌

En Nisser er IKKE en Alf nisser har runde ører som mennesker Alfa har spidse ører 🎄

I like that you mention both "positive" and "negative" things 😊

I find it a bit strange that some people are so surprised about the "no word for please"-thing. You don't have one word for it in French either ! The French say "s'il vout plaît" and the Danes say "vær så venlig" or "vær venlig" - I don't think that many languages use only one word. The English do, the Germans do (bitte) - anyone else ?

All Nordics disliked the 1 m distance requirement for Covid and were happy to get back to our preferred 3 m.

you can take a taxi

My work balance: Sleep = 8 hours Work = 8 hours Family time = 8 hours

English also has a nordic word for christmas which is "yule".

You are a charming blend of french and danish - all the best parts!! I have been in Paris many times (actually all over France too) and I must admit that I do admire the french women I see in the street, so chic and fashionable, oh my ! (And another thing, sigh, french women can walk .. I mean really .. they can walk!!)

We want to set a good example, I would not be able to forgive myself, if I crossed and a child saw that and followed or later followed my example and got killed? Thank you for your charming videos! I am subscribing, of course?!! Aren't everybody?? :p :D

Margaux! Thank you for your wonderful, insightful video! Just found your channel and have binge-watched everything! (And of course I am subscribing (duh!))

Watching this 2 years after upload but how happy and balanced that child seemed. Happy that you were happy with your birth here. I hope you have considered finding her a forest kindergarden.

Thank you, Margaux!! Very helpful and clear.

I use lights and reflectors on my bike any time of day. It just makes me more visible

God you are so beautiful

Cargo bike is the English word for this kind of bicycle.

You are right about danish supermakets. It's nothing like in France

Love Odense

Thanks for the video! I am a Kiwi living in Denmark with my Danish partner and have been living in Copenhagen since March 2020 (yes, that March). My partner comes from Fyn and we have always planned on heading back once her studies had finished. We find ourselves in a similar position as you were at the time you moved. Neither of us have been big city people and we love quiet open spaces and things being less busy. I have always enjoyed going to Fyn to we are very excited to now be making plans to move over this year. We also want out kids (yet to have) to grow up outside of a city to gain more experiences and be closer with my partners wider family (who we enjoy the company of). Since I am so far from my family in New Zealand, it doesn't make sense to not be closer to hers so that has been a driving force to move to Fyn also. Again, thanks for your content and maybe our paths will cross.

Most places in Denmark the tapwater will be better than anything bought in a bottle! Some places it has a lot of chalk (hard) which means it is advisable to put softener in during washing in a machine, for less use of soap. In nearby Norway you may be nearly unable to wash off soap during a bath, from the very soft water.

Hello ma'am. I had a query. Can we find work in odense for as much hour as in copenhegen? And is wages lesser in odense than copenhegen?? Please do reply. I really want this information.

Usually it's the nore expensive alcohol thats behind the chasheer. Also... The smaller the supermarket the more is locked away and you have to ask for it. bonus tip: If you want the non standard options, you go to a speciality shop not a supermarket.

I'm somewhat confused. I'm from Germany and I want to learn what makes Denmark different from us. But the result from all videos I've watched thus far is the same: Denmark = Germany. I'm pretty sure there must be differences, but so far, the things that stand out in Denmark seem to be the same or at least similar in Germany 😅 I guess I have to search harder

if you are late, call them and say so don't be a dick EZ

Is there anywhere in the World where they like people who act as if they're better than others? I find it hard to believe that this is a Danish speciality.

If you're a EU citizen you don't need a work permit.

I don't get this look into people's houses thing. Why would you do that?

I'm sure exactly where in Denmark you live, but the part I live in has plenty of bakeries. Like, they're everywhere.

what about their bodycount 🤔 i hear hook up culture is top on the list. is that their default to always chase instant pleasure outside even when their in relationship?

So good behavior from the Danes cuz some nationalities are champions in arrogance and bragging 😅

many stuff are similar to what you have to do in Germany like Media Tax for TV, Gov. email... etc.

Beautiful people tend to see beautiful things❤

The umbrella situation; 😂 yeah it does not combine well with windy situations 💕
