A few corrections to the video: 1: When showing the map of Danmark, they left out the island of Bornholm south of Sweden. 2: The amusementparks were plased in Jylland on the map and not on Sjælland. (But you two knows where in Danmark the capital København (Copenhagen) really is! Right?) 3: When talking about Sundet (The sound) he uses the swedish language in speak and wrighting. Swedish Öresund - danish Øresund. (Not that that matters. After all - Scandinavian laguages are the same, but the swedes cant wright it and (we) the danes cant speak it!) 4: Sence last year Danmark now has two landborders. (Canada too?) The tiny little Hans Island west of Grønland has a landborder to Canada. (Peace agreement after decades of "the whisky war".)
9:46 it`s true we don't have a word for please, be course we don't speak English, but we use (bede om) pray for/beg for/ask for. So it`s true we don`t have that word, but we don`t just expect being helped or get something with out asking politely, that's a crazy statement from this video.
Danes are really cool, during Walpurgisnacht we can celebrate, drink and dance with them. They often come over to Germany to party. Danish beer also tastes very good, like in Germany they have several varieties, so far every one I have drunk has been good. I think Danes are among the nicest people in the world, germans are the opposite in comparison 😂.
9:26 the video is a few years old, Margrethe is no longer Queen regent, her son Fredrik X/10 (the 10 king named Fredrik, Christian and Frederik are standard King names in Denmark) is the King now.
No, danish pastry are NOT from Austria... Yes, some austrian bakers was INVITED to Denmark (during a baker strike in Denmark) , but they did´t have the recipe of "danish" with them. They did however have "A" recipe with them, together with some new technics (basically how to make puff pastry). Those later inspired the DANISH bakers, and THEY made the danishes we know. The name "wienerbrød", was giving because of the inspiration from austrian bakers. This is a very common thing to do in Denmark, the cookie "jødekager" (jew´s cookies) has a similar story, and got it´s name because, it was the jews that imported the spices that later was use for that cookie, and it got it´s name for that reason, (again, it wasn´t invented by a jew) It´s the same with all things we call "fransk" (meaning french), allmost none of those products are from France, but the name "fransk" is a way to say something is more refined, nice/better product. For instance: French liverpate, french bread, french hotdog, (the last one is a french thing, but it´s drifferend in Denmark) This is a misunderstanding, since most "french" things are worse from a health point of view, but at that time, refined foods was seen as better/nicer. of the 3 products, only the liverpate is a better product, and has the name because it´s finely minced, where common liverpatè is not. A last thing about the wienerbrød, you can´t get "danishes" in Austria, if it was really made by austrian bakers, why can´t you buy in it Austria?, easy, because it´s not true...
Hi from Copenhagen. I've been living here all my 42 years. It's really important to mention that we do have expressions for "please". If I ask for a wienerbrød in a baker shop, I say: "må jeg bede om en romkugle, tak?" which translates into something similar please. "At bede om" means to ask for (politely) followed by "tak" which means thank you 😊 By the way. We pay high taxes, so even though health care is "free", and education, we still have high living expenses. Having around 6000 dkr (850$) after rent, electicity, insurance and so on, sound like a lot to foreign people, but one has to be smart to stretch the money. Nice interesting view from both of you. Best regards Johan
Denmark is the best country in the world. I really mean it. All Workers has High vages. there is no heriaki. everyone trusts each other. no corruption. free medical care. students get paid. free schools. very climate-friendly policy ect
On the island of Bornholm the dialict ( Language) has words that does not exist in other language. The Bornholmian language has / had up to 1500 word only used on Bornholm. It has its own grama, that is more like german, but the pronunciation is more like swidish/norwegian or old skandinavian.
just like english speaking people have 3 words for every danish word and still they explain things very poor 🤣 maby that is one reason we got efficient 🤔straight to the point without using all kinds of words 🤣
I'm Danish and we don't consider Greenland and the Faroes as actual parts of Denmark. We are three countires in what we call Rigsfællesskabet - The Commonwealth. We share our King, money, military and embassies. But Greeland is Greenland, The Faroes are The Faroes are The Faroes and Denmark is just Denmark. Peace and love to you wonderful people 🥰
Regarding religion in Denmark, we are some of the most secular people on earth. Yes, Christianity has had a huge influence here, but it is commonly accepted here today, that the shift had MUCH to do with foreign trade relations, rather than a king who had an epiphony. We needed a venue to sell furs, timber, grain and other local produce, so we could obtain precious metals among other things. Today, we know that Christianity came with an enormous proce for especially the women, who in good Christian tradition, became second class citizens.
i dont know what he is trying to say 🤣 fork beard, something got lost in translation but the name is also made from words that are not used anymore he was called svend tveskæg tve = 2 (or devided in two parts) skæg =beard so he is twobeard not forkbeard its more easy to control small crowds, that why we are more succesfull no one would have paid 50% in tax if they could fight it 🤣
Denmark invented the Viking age after loosing a war to Germany 1864, to regain some national pride, all other ages are named after materials used to make tools, stone, bronze, iron, Viking/carbon/steal age. this is why so many think Danes were Vikings, Viking was a job not a people.
@@JesperSandgreenDesuden… fra nationalmuseet; “Når vi hører ordet vikinger, tænker vi mest på dem, der hærgede og plyndrede i fjerne egne. Men faktisk var de fleste vikinger helt almindelige bønder, husmødre, markarbejdere og tjenestefolk.”

Hola para Dinamarca

Der er ingen grund til at trutte med røven, og det er sgu meget subjektivt angående hvad det bedste land i verden er, i realiteten er det nok Norge.
His map gave is of Copenhagen and those amusement parks are on the big Island to the right of where he pointed

'Sven Tveskæg' should really translate to 'Sven Twy-beard' (twy = double or twisted).
'Harald Blåtand' is rather obvious. He had a dead, blue tooth.

i dont know what he is trying to say 🤣 fork beard, something got lost in translation
but the name is also made from words that are not used anymore
he was called svend tveskæg
tve = 2 (or devided in two parts)
skæg =beard
so he is twobeard not forkbeard
its more easy to control small crowds, that why we are more succesfull
no one would have paid 50% in tax if they could fight it 🤣

An age can´t be invented... And no we did´t... The term "viking age" yes, but it´s just the iron age really, steel age is not a thing...
