When i try to speak to germans, i just say the same word as in danish but in a german way and they usually understand lol
Hahaha geil!
@@EasyGerman Geil bedeutet etwas komplett anderes auf Niederländisch...
@@mvv1408 Horny :D
@@mvv1408 Nein, es hat im Ursprung die gleiche Bedeutung.
hasn't happened to me haha 😭
Am I a Frenchman writing in English, seeing a German and a Danish discussing the similarities between their languages ?
I don't know, are you?
🤔😳🤪🤯🤕!!! LMBO!!!
Moi aussi... and i do not even understand german. Just here to hear how Danish looks, which I have no idea. To me i tend to fell all germanic language sounds similar, So I try to hear the differences
I was born in sweden, raised in Denmark. I speak swedish, Danish, English, German. I understand Norwegian, I can count to 20 in Spanish and say basic stuff aswell.
@??? Danish
I think most of the syllables ended up in his beard.
Thomas Yeah, maybe... 😅
😂
Dude he’s a viking lol😂
Сука, молодец))
Thomas im dead 😂😂
Henrik ist total sympathisch =) Und seine Aussprache auf Deutsch ist richtig gut !!
In Danish. Henrik er total sympatisk og udtalen af Tysk er rigtig god. Very similar. :)
Als Frankfurter erinnert mich seine Aussprache an mein Hessisch
My German teacher in school used to say "Deutsch ist einfach!" when we couldn't remember at certain word. What she always meant was: it's almost the same as the Danish word, just with a little German accent ;D So yeah, in my experience it's very similar

Vikinger halt
Lol, "Bart" in Danish means moustache, while "skæg" means beard
@@AlphaChinoz A moustache is called overskæg. So literally "upper beard" :)
Henrik Siboni oh, lol, then my comment is for how it works in Norwegian (but here "skæg" is "skjegg")
Some words in Danish and German are real simular to Dutch pronounces for the same words. It's so interesting :). I love Scandinavian and German people!
maybe = vielleicht (Deutsch), misschien (Dutch), maske (Danish(a with little o on top))
It’s all like niederdeutsch
Oh? To hell with everybody else, I guess.
@@wernerheisenberg1305Borrowed from Nederdüütsk.
Well isen't Dutch also a germanic language? makes sense.
Macht bitte ein Deutsch vs Holländisch Video. Ich glaube, Holländisch ist die ähnlichste Sprache zu Deutsch. Außerdem danke für dieses Video.😊
Das stimmt
Das heißt nicht " Holländisch" sondern Niederländisch. Holländisch gibt es nicht.
Ondanks Duits en Nederlandse talen zijn die op elkaar lijken, gok ik wel da Duitser niet heel veel snappen als er iemand NL praat of typt.
@@yassimob3868 umgangssprachlich sagt man in Deutschland zu den Niederlanden " Holland" 😁.
@@RiccardoSchuhmann Ich erinner mich während der Zeit ich in Bocholt und Rhede gewohnt habe, wobei ich diesen Dialekt an der Grenze gehört hat.
@@RiccardoSchuhmann stimmt, auch wenn Holland nur EIN Teil der Niederlande ist, wird oft der Begriff Holland benutzt. Ich bezog mich jedoch auf "Holländisch". Das gibt es einfach nicht, im Niederländischen selbst sagt niemand dass er "Holländisch" spräche. Das Wort gibt es nicht im Niederländischen.
As an American who learned German first, I watch a lot of Scandinavian series and I hear German cognates more in Swedish than in the other Scandi languages. Knowing English and German, you can make sense of Scandinavian languages, using either one or the other to process what you hear; with day being the most obvious.
Not exactly Danish has more loan words from Low german while swedish has a more similar grammatics.
V. true with reading. The problem starts when an English speaker tries to pronounce Danish words, I've found 😞 If you're able to understand spoken Danish, given your German knowledge, I salute you, Sir !
“How similar are german and danish”
People living in schleswig-holstein: sweating intensifies
Learn Swedish.
or French
The most positive vibe video I've seen on RUclips since 2007 or so.
As a Dutch person I understood about 90 percent.
Also some false cousins: I thought dose was a box... or rücken also means something different...
As a Dane i understand alot of dutch 👍🏻
As a Bavarian i understand 70% danish 80% Dutch (100%german, Swiss German, Austrian/bavarian German and 50% Swedish.)
Thats why dutch people coming to to DK speak Danish in about a year... and the other way around

Even though I have had German for 7 years in school, I JUST learned that you call your pockets for bags :O :O :O
@@Analysis_ParalysisFirst time I've heard any foreigners calling Danish "süß" I'm still shocked.
@@tetea7257 yea literally pant-bag haha I think that makes perfect sense
I am from Schleswig-Holstein, more specifically, from Ostholstein. We have a lot of Danish and Swedish tourists and we're curious about them coming in the summer every year. They are very friendly, very polite and ... well ... buy tons of alcohol, often with an extra car trailer for it :D When I started to learn Danish and Swedish I was fascinated by their similiarities with Low German (which is the native language of my grand parents).
No wonder. German supermarket prices for alcohol are roughly 1/3 of the Swedish price. ;)
Norwegians do the same thing in Sweden
Ich bin fasziniert oder auch erschüttert dass Niederdeutsch scheinbar nur noch die Sprache deiner Großeltern war.
U know a guy speaks the truth once he mentions the absurd amount of alcohol danes actually buy in germany :'D
Every time german people are getting hired to work in places like fleggard they always make faces when the danes said they want to purchase europalletes of beer and sweets :'D
@@ItsNikoHIMself Was soll man dazu sagen, meine mitbürger saufen gern und hier ist alc so teuer da heult man schon :D
We also buy our own Odense marzipan across the border, because it is cheaper in Germany than in Denmark.
I'm kind of thrilled that both Danish and German have "lekker" as well like in Afrikaans. It also means "tasty" or "sweet", but people will use it for "cool" or "awesome" as well like slang. It's also just a part of every South African's vocabulary. Everyone uses "lekker".
Nicholas Scheckter, in Danish “lækker” is used when something is tasty too, but we use it as slag as well, like “lækker tøs” = hot girl, “lækker bil” = nice car etc.
@@ole7146 I'm delighted to hear of this, I'm glad we're not the only place in the world that loves a bit of "lekker" :)
@@ole7146 Same in Dutch. Lekker wijf = hot chick. And so we have "doos" as a part of the female body and "pik" as part of the male body. These are all very common in use even though it is slang.
@@Serenoj69 lol, “dåse” meaning can (tin can) is a Danish slang for vagina and “Pik” is a common Danish word for the man’s penis. No doubt that Dutch (and Frisian) share many words and similar words with the Scandinavian languages.
Ich liebe es, wie Cari das Wort Schmerz ausgesprochen hat
So betont wird das im Alltag aber nicht ausgesprochen.
Danke für dieses Video, ich komme aus Dänemark und habe sehr lange auf dieses Video gewartet❤️ (Correct me if i Said it wrong)

Sympathischer Typ. So stell ich mir einen waschechten Dänen vor :D
6:59 Mind blown: a less-used American-English expression for pain is "Ouch, that smarts!" And now I get the connection back to "Schmerz".
yes, I think you do "smart" with pain in original UK English also
It´s also a word in UK English.
Fun video!
As a Frisian/Dutch person, at first i also thought the Scandinavian languages were very different, but when you go learn them you'll see there are many similarities to the West-Germanic languages. Of course a bunch of words are just different and also at times the order of words is different, but mostly it's the pronunciation that's making it difficult, especially with Danish, in which many consonants are "swallowed in" as it were.
I'm currently learning Danish, have learned Norwegian before (although i am better at Danish now) and i am currently also beginning to learn Icelandic, which is at another level of difficulty. But my experience with the other North-Germanic languages helps somewhat.
But this video reminds me: i really should brush up my German also! It's just that i like the Scandinavian languages very much. But i'm certainly going to improve my not-so-good German in the near future!
Isn't language learning fun!
You two are great together. I speak neither German nor Danish, but you had me laughing so hard.
as a Briton learning Danish for a few years it made me realise how instinctively Danish my pronunciation is of even German words now
Henrik spricht sehr gut deutsch wie ein deutsche👌, Danke für dieses vidéo
Omg...im learning german (my 20th hour now, im in quarantine🤣) and i fully understood this comment. :O danke RUclips
I find myself pretty good in German and English and Danish offcourse... When I was a truckdriver allover Europe I often bought the paper Voetball(Football/soccer) international in the Netherlands because I could read it combining Dutch, English, German, Danish and the words my grandparents used.. So many similar
I know a little german and when I watched "The Rain" on Netflix, immediately I noticed that Danish has a lot of words simillar to German.
how about German and Swedish?
And how interesting that many of those words have similar English counterparts as well. Thanks! -Phill, Las Vegas
... and which spread all over the world, all the way to your mysterious continent... :)
Actually it shouldn't come as a surprise. English is a Germanic language heavily influenced by Latin... but still Germanic at its core. The closest Germanic language would be Frisian, but there have also been later influence from among others - Danish (Viking invasions/Danelaw). Look up "Langfocus" on youtube if you want to know more about the relation between English (in particular Old English) and Germanic languages.
@@stoissdk Latin and Greek in the fields of science and religion, yes. Everyday English is mainly influenced by Old French though (i.e. the old Normandy dialect). This on top of the Germanic and Scandinavian substrate language, as you said.
Danish guy here: This just cracked me up! Also, can't get over how many times they repeated "dåse" (also Danish slang for a part of the female anatomy).
Yeah, the difference between å and o, is something we hear quite easily, but others don't. Basically, I describe it to others by saying that Danish vowels are pure, but they aren't always in other languages. In English for example, when you say the letter 'o', you start out with å and end with o, ie. you start out more open and then the mouth becomes more closed. Vowels also have this sort of "movement" for example in Swedish.
@@honeyfromthebee In Northern England, that "movement" often doesn't happen.
Stoiss
Danish guy here: Dåse is not only her anatomy, It is her whole personality, equivalent to "bimbo".
@@KoldingDenmark Interesting. In Dutch the same is true for' doos'.
😂👍
I don't speak German or Danish but I found this video extremely interesting. Cheers.
Die dänischen Vokale, die ein wenig zum Schwa tendieren, die erweichten Konsonanten und das stimmlose S erinnern an Sächsisch oder Amerikanisch, also Sprachen, die schnellem Wandel, Mischung und Einfluss ausgesetzt waren.
When I have been to Copenhagen, I got suprised in how the Danish people are able to speak Deutsch, sehr gut!
The german language itself isnt hard. The gramma on the other hand just doesnt make sense compared to Danish gramma
@@Noblemand Yet Danish Grammar has more exceptions and is internationally ranked a lot more difficult for the average foreigner to learn than German
@Anthony Simmonsnever heard of that
@Anthony Simmons thank you
Sehr sympathisch Ihr zwei - macht wirklich Spaß zuzusehen und zuzuhören!
Thanks for this! The reason for the close similarity between Danish and German is not just the large influence of Lower Saxon on Danish (during the Hanseatic period), but also (in fact, mainly so) because both Danish and German (as well as English, Dutch, Swedish, Icelandic, Afrikaans, Faeroese and Norwegian) are Germanic languages, arguably descended from a "Proto-Germanic" (spoken somewhere in Scandinavia and North Germany in the 1st century AD). Cheers,
Indeed, you are right ^^ For this episode, we chose to focus on the direct German influence :)
@@henriksiboni6930 Thank you! Correct me if am wrong, but I doubt that Danish words such as "luft" are German imports. One way to check is that if it appears also in Icelandic (which in this case it does!), then it is not a loan or calque, but rather comes from the common Old Germanic heritage. :-)
@@Skrintha Sometimes it is hard to tell which it is, but at least this source (in Danish) lists "luft" as a loan word :) ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=luft
This comment should have more likes.
@@henriksiboni6930 Fair enough! Tak ! :-)
Such a nice weather you guys have there.
Would be interesting to see a comparison video between German and Dutch.
That's the cutest viking I've ever seen
Bis zum Jahrgang 1947 wurden dänische Substantive grossgeschrieben, genau wie man noch heute deutsche Nomina schreibt. Davon abgesehen wurde der dänische Buchstabe ,,å" ,,"aa" geschrieben. Deshalb haben wir noch heute den Familiennamen z.B. ,,Kierkegaard"--auf Deutsch ,,Friedhof."
KirchGarten klingt auch viel romantischer als FriedHof 😊 Hof, das klingt so als wäre es nützlich aber nicht schön.
I think it will be easier with swedish as they pronounce the letters more.
As a swede I loved this video and most of the words are almost the same in swedish! Btw danish and swedish are very similar so I don’t know if there would be a point with making a video with swedish, but we have ÄÖ like german instead of æ and ø and our pronounciation is less swallowing and more logic than danish
I'd support a video with swedish 😀
And we have Ü as well ;-)
Bery yes but only in a few words like müsli😂😂
@@JohannaPecsicsOlsson And Überraschung :-)
It's funny. I can read Danish and hear Swedish but not the other way around.
Danish ist zwischen Englisch und Deutsch? 🤔 Tag>>>Dag>>>>Day?
Hmmmm. Sehr Interessant
Ein bisschen
All the Nordic languages have similar words. Many words are the same in German and Swedish too.
In Plattdütsch (lower German) it is "dag", and the "g" is spoken as high German "ch" in singular, in plural it is "dage" and "g" is like the high German "g" again and the "a" sound is a bit longer:
so we have: singular: "dach" and plural: "daage".
@@HiddenXTube Ben benieuwd of je Nederlands zou snappen als je ook plat kunt praten?
@@yassimob3868 I can understand much of the "everyday language" if you speak slowly and simply. It is even easier for me to read Dutch.
I can speak 100% German, 60% Westphalian Platt (unfortunately it is not very common anymore) and 90% English.
I love Germany. We had ahem a past, but we have moved on. Germany is am amazing neoighbour.
Danish pronunciation is nuts. I love it.
I speak English and Russian, and without reading the subtitles I felt like I could follow along with the conversation.
I speak 5 languages none of which are German or Danish, but I really loved this!
Ich habe in Schweden und in Norwegen längere zeit gewohnt.
Und mit Plattdeutschkenntnisse kaum schwierigkeiten beim Sprachen lernen gehabt. Doch als ich Dänisch gehört und ich kam darauf garnicht klar.
Und ich sage mal so, mein Schwedisch war nach einem Jahr so gut das an der tankstelle die verkäufer nicht bemerkten das ich Deutscher bin.
In Norwegen war es einfacher, die beiden sprachen ähneln sich wie Deutsch- Östereichisch.
Nur dachten die Norweger das ich Schwede seih , weil ich angeblich einen Schwedischen Akzent habe wenn ich als Deutscher Norwegisch sprach.
Sprache kennt keine Grenzen, wenn man die geschichte der befölkerung der Eu kennt, wird es sehr Interesant.
Ich komme aus Nord Deutschland und habe als kind von meinen eltern noch einiges an Plattdeutsch gelernt, welches eine große ähnlichkeit zum Englischen hat. Denn irgenwann haben nach den römern sehr viele Sachsen versucht In Großbritanien Fuß zu fassen.
Anders wirds beim Irischen oder Schotischen
in Irland sprechen sie gälisch, glaube ich, welches darauf hindeutet das Irland nie von den Römer besetzt war und sie dort ihre sprache weiter genutzt haben.
Sprachen sind sehr Fazinierent.
Ich habe ADS und normalerweise sehr starke problehme damit sachen auswendig zu lernen . So wie man bei meiner Rechtschreibung bestimmt sieht.
Abschluß Zeugnis in der Hauptschule English 5 , Deutsch 3 und Rechtschreibung und Gramatik 6
Aber dann als ich mit der schule fertig war stieg mein interresse English zu lernen , weil ein Englischer Teenager in meine Nachbarschaft zog und Ich ihm Deutsch sprechen bei brachte , lernte ich im gegenzug sehr schnell English.
Hab gleich verstanden!
😁Juhuu!
Super Video! Der Typ sehr sympathisch!
I think the most annoying thing that people say about Danish is that the consonants don’t matter, because that’s simply the furthest from the truth. A big reason why we have so many vowel sounds is BECAUSE of the consonants. Fx: “rør” vs “rød” vs “rø”. If the consonants didn’t matter you’d think the ø vowel was pronounced the same in all these, but it isn’t. “Rø” is the basic pronunciation, but the other two are colored due to the consonant that follows, and they sound quite different. This happens often with “r” as well as “g”: “og” where g colors the o to become a diphthong and thus sounds like “ou”. If you “ignore the consonant” you get “oh”... regarding the soft D, which is when the D is placed in syllable final position and becomes a dental fricative rather than a plosives. I always say that if you speak English, you can say a soft D because it is literally the same as the TH sound in “the” but reverse tongue movement. Anyway, there’s so many things to say about Danish writing system and yes honestly some is nonesense (but you know, I’ll recommend you the English Pronunciation Poem and you’ll see it’s not so uncommon 😝) however, there are so many rules to pronunciation that I feel learners are just never taught rather they’re just told to memorize the pronunciation of each word.... so many people give up because they never learn how to converse, only how to read.
Nice to read a comment by someone who really knows something about languages.
I don't speak any German or Danish; I watched it out of curiosity and because I admire Danish actors very much.
You two are so engaging. I loved this video!
Henrik spricht Deutsch genau wie ein Deutsche ☝🏻
@@vietNguyen. ja, ein bisschen; er ist aber ziemlich anziehend, meiner Meinung nach.
Er hat einen kleinen akzent. Aber ich finde das sympathisch :D
Almost keine Dänen sprecht wie gut deutsh wie er tut. We are all gonna speak english in about 150 yr, then this video will be in a museum of langauges
Also in English we have many sk words from Danish! skin skirt sky etc...
The same happens between Spanish and Portuguese. Spanish is very clear, each of its vowels (a, e, i, o, u) have one clear sound, no schwas (ə). Portuguese, though, has open and closed vowels like ê, é, ô, ó, nasal vowels ã, ão, ães, ãos. Besides, schwas in almost every word like in English. German and Spanish phonetics are straightforward, Danish and Portuguese phonetics ein Durcheinander!
And both Danish and Portuguese swallow up vowels, specifically end vowels.
As far as pronunciation is concerned I can see the influence of Danish on english pronunciation of the words that are shared or similar in german,danish, and english . Of course I am not an expert just a native english speaker interested in the influence of Dane law on the modern english language.
Ich habe vor ein paar Monaten angefangen, Dänisch zu lernen. Es hat mich überrascht, wie viele Wörter zwischen Englisch und Deutsch ich erkennen konnte . Die Sprache klingt echt schön, aber die Aussprache ist ziemlich schwer besonders wenn man keine Dänen kennt, mit denen man üben kann.
Hehe, ,,Dänen, mit denen..."
Erstes Mal irgendwann, dass ich den Klang des Dänischen als "schön" beschrieben schaue haha
Snakker du Dansk? Tysker hare smuk husen.

I nearly fell off from my chair. Smerte sounds like 'death' in Russian
Well, Russian is an Indo-European language just like German and Danish, so it shares a lot of common roots with other European languages.
What i can take from this video....
As a German: Get drunk and you speak perfectly danish....
But whats interesting: While having the english subtitles, you can somethimes see the similarities... Its awesome how language evolves even over borders.
Danish and Norwegian are tough languages to learn - Swedish is easier, certainly for a German person.
Very interesting. Some words in Danish sound like a mix between German and English. :) And some are even written similarly, like Rabatt (DE) = Rabat (DK) = Rebate (EN)
They are all Germanic languages. Until about 700-800 years ago they were only dialects of each other, and only a few hundred years ago still pretty mutually understandable.
@@SIC647 more like 1000 years ago. back then all of them kind of sounded like icelandic. Beowulf, the old english legend is basically written from a danish perspective... and look at where saxony is and you will see where the english settlers came from. so of course all the languages were similar. but sometime between 1000 and 1400, all the mutual intelligibility was lost due to the great vowel shift of english and the french/germanic fusion that happened after 1066 resulting in what is perhaps the most bastardized language in the world English. Interestingly the feminine/masculine/neuter forms being absent from modern english is the result of the mutual indelibility between britanic saxons and Danes! since the languages were similar except and the two groups had to interact regularly, things just got simplified (like word endings and articles, etc) that is why in english there is only one THE where as in other germanic languages there are multiple gendered forms of THE. now mix in french with a completely different system of gendered words, and pow, the meltingpot created the english of Shakespeare!
4:10 - Translation: "Also wir haben jetzt noch..."
You: "Alzvairmyetz noch...."
These kinds of things fascinate me :)
Danke für das Video! Sehr interessant!
As an English speaker, I can understand about a third of what they’re saying in German without the subtitles. The Nordic languages are harder because of the strange pronunciation but when written its just as easy to understand as German.
I struggle sometimes to hear if people are speaking in Danish or German. This usually happens if someone are talking to each other a few meters away, and I just overhear parts of the conversation.
Ich fand ihn so süß, dass ich seinen Kanal abonniert habe. Er sieht sehr cool aus
And as English is naturally also a Germanic Language from Denmark and Northern Germany/Netherlands region around 1500 years ago, many of these also apply with English. We also basically say Day the same way it is pronounced in Danish ever to this day, as well as we have a LOT more Scandinavian words brought over from the Viking invasion of Brittan about 1000 years ago. Sky, Leg, Skirt, Skin, Are, etc are Scandinavian words for sure in our Language. But we can blame the French for forcing so many more Latin family words into our language. If we removed all of the French borrowed words in English it would look much more close to the Scandinavian languages. In fact we can basically say things word for word almost the same in English as in other Northern Germanic languages such as in Scandinavia because we had a similar shift in English were we dropped the genders that German still had today. Which is a large part of why despite being a sister language to English,. German can be so very hard to learn for native English speakers.
...and grammatical Danish/English is commonly identical unlike German. I as a Dane found it easy to learn English but not German, which i never fully learned.
@@ole7146 Ya, I have an easier time reading Norwegian and Swedish and Danish at times than I do German. I have self-learned it myself for over a decade, yet still not super good at it, but I can type German to other German people in online multiplayer PC games and have a great time chatting with people. I can do the same in Spanish as well as I am Texan and us Whites here are pretty exposed to Spanish, but I am not really good enough to verbally speak in either language too well.
I have spoken in both languages before to native speakers and was able to get my point across but sometimes it is hard for Americans to remember exactly how to pronounce everything correctly since we aren't as exposed to German as we are Spanish on a daily basis.
But yeah, the word order is very different in German and Dutch than in the Scandinavian languages and English, so I really think that, as well as the gender things really hangs us up on understanding it easily at first.
I read somewhere that the easiest related language for Native English speakers to learn were the Scandinavian ones for that reason. Plus when you learn one of the 4 you can easily understand a lot of the other 3. Icelandic seems to be the most like the older language. It is interesting how they came up with their own words for modern things separate from the mainland.
Sehr sympathisch, ihr Beiden....
Danke
Souds beautiful both lenguages
Ja, klar! Es ist wunderbar, ich habe damals 5 Jahre Deutsch, dann 4 Jahre Daenisch gelernt, und ich aussprachte Daenisch als waere es Deutsch... ich hatte keine Chancen verstanden zu werden! Die beiden Sprachen haben mi aber geholfen eine Sensiilitaet zu finden!
Komme aus Norddeutschland und hatte 2 Jahre Dänisch in der Schule. Vorher hatte ich lange Jahre englisch und durch meine Großeltern verstehe ich Platt ganz passabel. Und ich sage immer wenn man Englisch, Deutsch und Platt kann braucht man um Dänisch lesen zu können nur einmal die Grundlagen verstanden haben. Ich gebe aber auch zu das ich die Dänen beim sprechen ein nie verstehe 🙈
Ihr seid so sympathisch ❤

@@arianafulcar3179 juice og olie

Sehr sympathisch, Ihr Zwei. Und sehr humorvoll.
Man kann über Unterschiede auch lachen 😄
1:41 you read my mind
They are NOT! - only some words here and there 😉 - they have selected similar words for this video.
The Danish grammar is far simpler and much more like that of English and many basic words are also closer to their English counterparts.
I had the same thought with the "Gæld" example as this sounded pretty much the same as "guilt". When visiting Denmark a couple of years ago I was in fact amazed to find that essentially nobody was able to understand even a single German word.
@@WhoStoleMyAlias More like [ guell* ] ( as in "guest" ) - the d is usually mute after l, n and r ( bold = ball being one of the few exceptions ), where it just indicates a glottal stop, where you make the preceding consonant short (abrupt), indicated by the "*" here.
It's of course related to the German word "Geld", but the meaning in Danish has shifted (?) to mean "debt" - i.e. money - or other stuff - that you owe someone.
@@Bjowolf2 Thanks. I actually noticed a d/t spelling error in my previous post (corrected now) and the corrected spelling pretty much matches your explanation.
Must also note that I think this particular false friend appears to be mostly chosen on spelling rather than pronunciation. The German translation `Schuld` actually sounds closer to me, especially when spoken in a northern tongue.
@@WhoStoleMyAlias Yes, we have the cognate "skyld" = guilt / debt.
The verb is "skylde" = owe, the adjective is "skyldig" = guilty / schuldich.
uskyld = innoncence / unschuld, uskyldig = innocent / unschuldich.
@@Bjowolf2 Same in Dutch: schuld, schuldig, onschuldig. With the 'ch' in northern areas being pronounced as 'k' but in standard Dutch as a soft 'g' (like in 'machen') that makes it quite near impossible for non-native speakers to pronounce correctly.
Should you want to try, using the Greek character χ (chi) the Dutch word for innocent would sound something like `ånsχøldiχ`. If it sounds anything like `show` you would not have seen the end of WW2.
Long time ago I visited a friend in Copenhagen and couldn't understand what was said, but with my knowledge of Dutch, I could read... Nice experience...
But you are German. Did you need Dutch then? Anyways: we were in Rovaniemi Finland and we could not understand a single word of the FInnish language. But they had a lot of things written in Swedish which was 100% conprehensible for us DUtch. It was very funny actually. I even talked Swedish (or what I made of it) in the Hotel and they understood me just fine. Hahahaha.
There is no such thing as easy Danish 😜 Then again being from the west of The Netherlands I can’t complain too much about throat-destroying languages...
Danish is safe for internet use because it’s already encrypted.
both use the word "genau" in the same manner as well.
Sehr charmant der Däne und sehr diplomatisch :)
Sowas müsst ihr unbedingt öfter machen. 👍🏾
Ich habe dänisch in 2020 gelernt und ich kann sagen dass ja deutsch und dänisch sind beide sehr ähnlich :) nicht nur ein paar Worte sondern auch ein paar ausdrucken und so weiter hahaha natürlich sind sie nicht so ähnlich wie zum Beispiel dänisch und schwedisch oder dänisch und norwegisch 😅😅 aber ich finde das deutsch und dänisch sehr ähnlich sind
I’ll never get over the fact german capatilizes all nouns
Why god
Oft werden `stumme Buchstaben´ durch Änderung des Luftstroms angedeutet. Das, was wir auf dänisch `stød´ nennen. Es ist so gut wie unmöglich das als Erwachsener zur Perfektion zu lernen. Viele Grüße aus Dänemark. Lene/🇩🇰
Sehr gute Episode! Ich habe früher Deutsch gelernt und konnte einmal fließend Deutsch. Habe aber einen Dänen getroffen und nach 2 Wochen habe ich ein Buch das heißt „Teach Yourself Danish“ von ihm bekommen. Ich habe wegen meiner Deutschkenntnissen ohne Problem Dänisch gelernt. Jetzt kann ich fließend Dänisch, kann immer noch deutsch aber habe nur wenige möglichkeiten deutsch zu üben, wenn ich zweimal im monat zu meinem deutschen Toastmasters gehe. Und ja, ich habe diesen Dänen übrigens geheiratet. 😉
Wenn du schon immer Kinder haben wolltest, dann könntest du ja sie zweisprachig erziehen :)
Was sind Toastmasters? :)
Misufasil ich habe 3 Kinder nd sie können alle Dänisch. Die zwei ältesten sprechen fließend Dänisch aber das jüngste spricht Dänisch als Anfänger aber er versteht mehr als er spricht. Sie wollen nicht Deutsch lernen, denn es hat für sie keine Bedeutung.

Ich würde empfehlen sich mit Sprachgeschichte zu beschäftigen, dann versteht man tatsächlich sehr gut Dänisch, da man die Regeln kennt, nach welchen sich diese Wörter unterscheiden. Die 2 Lautverschiebung ist hier besonders wichtig.
Danke für dieses tolle Video! Ich als deutschsprechende Schweizerin hatte tatsächlich bislang nichts mit der dänischen Sprache zu tun und bin umso mehr überrascht, wie viele Gemeinsamkeiten da vorhanden sind! Ich habe echt Lust mehr darüber zu erfahren! 😃
Det er ingen kommentarer på dansk her men jeg prøve at skrive. Jeg er ikke dansk (jeg kommer fra England og jeg har ikke snakkede dansk meget i de sidste 2 år) så undskyld for de mange fejler. Det virker at dansk ligner engelsk og hollandsk mere end tysk. Engelsk og dansk har en lignende syntaks, også jeg synes at hollandske orde er lidt tættere på dansk en tysk. Jeg taler ikke hollandske eller tysk så det er bare min mening.
Engelsk har mange låneord fra fransk, latinsk og græsk og dansk har mange låneord fra engelsk pr nogle fra fransk. Det virker tysk har færre låneord men dansk og tysk har lignede videnskaborde.
Tak for videoen, det var rigtig interessant!
I understood really a lot from reading. Maybe cause I grew up in Northgermany, Flensburg and Kiel
Ja jeg er Hollaender og jeg synes du har ret. Danker snakker Hollandsk (flydende) i 4-8 ugen! Fotbolspiller for eksempel. Danish people told me the same. It goes beyond language, because our cultures are also much more similar than we both are to German. It is really virtually identical, humor etc. German culture is odd for us here and there. DOn't get me wrong: I love Germany and we frequently go on holidays there. So welike the differences.
Ok, so as a Quebecer, I speak kind of french with a danish accent : )
You two look like you’d make a cute couple. Young Mr & Mrs Claus before getting the Christmas assignment.
Ryg. Was? Ryg. Wö? Ryg. Genau. Rök. Genau sehr gut. Hö. Ja du sprichst sehr gut Dänisch.
Rör. Was? Rör. Ua? Ja, genau.
Wao das bewegt mich Danish zu lernen !
Die Wikinger leben. Das sieht man am Bart 🧔 Tack für das tolle Video 👌
Auf niederlandisch der " Zahne," is auch "de tand".. Wie auf Danisch...Wow, it takes some practise to write in German again!
I'm neither German or Danish, why am I here lmao
u r not alone :P
Very interesting! I'm Norwegian, and although Danish and Norwegian are pretty similar, the Danish words used as examples here would be completely different in Norwegian! Crazy how geographical position influences a language to such a degree.
Us Norwegians and Swedes we love when Danes speak. But we are also frustrated at the same time. 😅
Ich hatte den Dänischen Text bis zum "Einfluss" richtig verstanden! :-)
Und ich kann kein Dänisch.
Grüße aus Rumänien!
A fairly large percentage of the Danish vocabulary was imported from North German during the Hansa period, so there words willl be very similar.
Sie:“Dänische klingt so, als hättest du eine Kartoffel im Mund ?“
Er:“Ja, das sagen viele Leute“
Perfekt
Ich stelle mir dänisch sehr schwer zu lernen vor, gerade WEIL es so ähnlich und doch nicht ähnlich ist. Besonders die Unterschiede in der Aussprache der Vokale und Konsonanten finde ich ganz schwer richtig zu erfassen und bestimmt ganz schwer nachzuahmen, ohne gleich wieder in die vertraute deutsche Aussprache zu rutschen.
Smoked salmon in English is "Lox".
Also, if Danes were to actually pronounce the word endings, it would be way easier to understand them.
ah very interesting! "salmon" derived from the French "saumon" but "lox" is definetly Germanic ;)
Süß ihr beiden. Ich hab´ nicht nur was gelernt, sondern auch spontan Lust auf eine Reise in den hohen Norden und darübher hinaus zu unseren lieben dänischen Nachbarn bekommen. ´Danke´ :-)
Man kan auf dialekt dänish ein ganzen Satz so schrieben:
"Han æ u o æ ø i æ å"
Er ist drausen of der Insel in dem kleinen Fluss.
He is out on the island in the smal river.
Im Grenzkiosk:
Däne: "Haben Sie was geben Bumsen." - Was er meint ist: "Haben Sie etwas gegen Pickeln." Er möchte Clearasil.
Däne: "Die Blume it rausgegangen." - Was gemeint ist: "Die Blume ist eingegangen."
Ûbersetzungen von Stadtnamen, die "lost in translation" geraten sind:
Dänish: Hedeby - Deutsch: Hedebu - Es hätte Heidestadt sein sollen.
Dänish: Rødekro - Deutsch: Rodëko - Es hätte Roten Krug sein sollen.
Rodéko war total zum lachen im Dänishen Fernsehen, als eine Frau in ihrem Mercedes Kabrio an der Grenze angehalten und gefragt wurde
über Ihre Reaktion, als sie nicht über die Grenze fahren durfte, wegen der Corona Restriktionen.
Look! A Viking!!!
