I think it's a bit funny how Danish is harder for you to understand amongst the 3. As a dane myself, i feel swedish is the hardest and i find Norwegian to be sorta easy to understand (as long as it's nynorsk) But perhaps it could also be a regional thing. I think some parts of Sweden are easier to understand than other parts
I think most consider Norwegian so sorta be a bridge between Danish and Swedish, meaning SE and NO can understand each other quite easily, NO and DK can understand each other, but SE and DK struggle a bit more.

As long as it's bokmål is what you meant to say, considering bokmål is the 'book language' we got from Denmark. Nynorsk is the Norwegianized, dialect-based version of Norwegian and is way more different from Danish.
Awesome stuff Linny, yeah while learning my Norwegian currently, I was also shown that we can read Danish, very interesting stuff, though you're right it's harder to understand when they pronounce the words 😅. Still very cool though 😉
Beer price in Norway make me a teetotaler. Flat sound boring, but when you spent 6 to 14 hours driving in tight road uphill, sometime reversing downhill when also turning, flat start to sound kinda cool. The cold/warm thing is very generational. The young in the supermarkets I visit are very talkative, but not the older workers (Also, the older people are not so confident talking English, which may contribute.) Something I like a lot, when you are in the supermarket, if the line is not moving, none turn back to talk to me like they do in the UK. I am starting to feel extrovert here. Nice video.
Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, Linny. What a coincidence. Yesterday I told a friend that I was unsure about which country I would live in for a couple of years: Norway, Denmark or Finland. So far, Norway is in the lead, followed by Finland and Denmark. I love the cold weather and natural beauty, but be honest, which of these countries do you like to live in the most and why?
Good evening to you too! That’s a fun coincidence; I’m glad you found my channel. 😃 What I liked about Denmark is that nothing was far away-it was so easy to get anywhere. As I’m half German, it was also easy to take the train to visit family there. I love Norway for its nature and mountains. While Denmark is beautiful as well, hiking in Norway is more fun and challenging. 🏞️ I’m a bit biased, as I have a personal connection to Norway-I’ve always dreamed of living here. I prefer living here partly because I find the language easier to understand. Ultimately, it depends on your preferences. When it comes to healthcare, the educational system, and quality of living, I think both countries are great!
Very nice video! I was born in Denmark, grew up in Greenland, and moved to Norway when I was 20. To me a big difference is on the social atmosphere in Denmark compared to Norway. It is much more open and including in Denmark. Also, Danish food is at another level than in Norway! It is much more elaborate and tasty in Denmark, I think. But everything is more natural in Norway. Nice video! Keep it up!

That's because we have a countryside, and Christian, mentality (historically especially) with 100 tons of judgement if you do or say anything wrong. By the way, I agree with you on food on a general level, and especially historically, but we do have high quality food and restaurants here today and we're quite high on the list of Bocuse D'or winner nations. We have also won a couple of World's best cheese awards. But yeah, on the LOW level Norwegian food is clearly a good bit below Danish. You just have to look a little deeper in Norway to find high quality.
I would like to try to explain: Ti, Tyve, Tredive, Fyrre (10,20,30,40) then 50 ! ”the half of the third score” (in Danish “halvtreds” ~ “halv-tredje-snes”) something like “two score and a half score”. (Score is 20 like a dozen). Then 60 (in danish ”tres” = ”tre snese” or ”tresindstyvende” - ”tyvende” meaning ”twenty or more like twentieth” = ”three scores” or ”three twentieth” and so on up to 90...
The Danes were probably trying to be clever by using both fingers and toes to count, i.e. use a base of 20. The logic gets a bit convoluted when we get to numbers like 50, 70 and 90. 50 is "halvtreds sinds tyvende", half third (2.5) times 20 = 50. Similarly, "halvfirs sinds tyvende" is half fourth (3.5) times 20 = 70 and "halvfems sinds tyvende" is half fifth (4.5) times 20 = 90. It takes clever people to stay on top of that kind of logic..
The danish number system - is as you say easy up to 40 (well 49) 50 in English is fifty = five times ten. In danish it is halvtres - that used to be halvtresinde tyve = Half three times twenty. If the time is half past two it is in Danish halv tre = half tree = you subtract half an hour from 3 - actually 2,5 = 2,5 X 20 = 50 60 = is tres and that used to be tresinde tyve = tre x tyve = three multiplies with twenty = 60 - 70 is 4.5 x 20 = halvfjers = halvfjersinde tyve.
Thank you for your perspective on Denmark. It’s wonderful that you highlight the best of both nations instead of starting with a 'great Nordic war' about who is the best. Unfortunately, there tends to be this inclination when we compare ourselves to one another. We have so much to be proud of here in Scandinavia, and our history binds us closely together. We also learn a lot from each other, and we should take pride in that. Here's a kiss from a Dane! ❤️
About the numbers: it is easy, Norwegian follows the Swedish system (31: trettien 3-10-1), but Denmark follows the German system (21: enogtyve - einundzwanzig).
But over 50 it is much more complicated in Danish: 57 is "syv og halvtreds" (7 + 2.5 times 20!), in Norwegian femtisju (fifty + 7). The number 60 is "seksti" in N., "tres" in Danish (3 times 20). When a Dane is to be interviewed in Norwegian radio he is often instructed to try to use the Norwegian system, or else hardly any one will understand. (Apart from numbers most will be understood if they are not talking to fast)
@@user-gr5tx6rd4h - to be precise: 50 is halvtreds, which is a shortened form of halvtredsindstyve, made by the words halvtreds (halv-tredie or 2.5, halfways from 2 to 3), sinde (times) and tyve (20), but otherwise you are right. In German is is fünfzig, so 57 becomes siebenundfünfzig.
the danish number system is correctly divided into 20 fifty is half of that 3 20 60 is 3 sign twenties. 70 is half of no. 4 twenty 80 is 4 whole twenties
There are much more similarities then differences between us, Norway is the contry that come closest to us in Denmark and we consider them a brother nation and both when it come to linguistics and ethnicity it is very similar, our culture who come from our religion, philosophy and politics is likewise very similar, when you can buy alcohol is of less importance IMHO.
As part danish from Norway i would say that danes and Norwegian are very similar in interaction between people. Danes are not more outgoing then Norwegians imo.
I spent 8 years in Denmark, 2 in Sweden and the past almost 6 years in Norway. For me Denmark is too flat, too empty...just plow fields everywhere. It's a silly generalization, but I always felt that 90% of the people are empty as well. It's weird that I feel like this about Denmark. Nothing terrible happened to me there...but the energy of the place discourages me. Norway on the other hand inspires me a lot. I'll always be an outsider because I'm an immigrant, yet I love this country and want to stay. The mountains, fjords make me feel home. Winters, and when it rains too much (Bergen) is quite depressive, but when the weather is good, I fall in love with the place again and again. This place is magic. I liked Sweden as well, but I missed the mountains. I must say though, that Swedes are the friendliest Scandinavians.
Lived in Denmark my whole life and kinda agree with you. We Danes tend to think out country has a lot of "varieret terræn" because we have a few hills, small man-made woods etc here and there. In reality we have a really flat - but pretty - landscape. People tend to be more private and reserved, so Linny telling we're a more warm and open people than NO sounds really terrifying. Not my experience though. Perhaps because all Norwegian people in DK are drunk all the time? (Thats a joke btw. Some Scandinavia love here). But getting a depressed feeling here... I get you. We Danes tend to think the worst before it has even happened. And generally we're unbelievable good to complain about EVERYTHING! "Happiest people on Earth" my .... 😉
Thank you for sharing your experiences! I agree on a lot of things you’re saying! 😊 I also think it really depends on which city you live in, in Norway. People from the north are different than people from the south for example.
Danish is very floating and it is difficult to separate the words unless a Dane! And I'm sorry to have to mention that Hygge is a Norwegian Word, but they never really realized what they had, so it took Danes to make it useable. 😁 Finn. Denmark
Regarding numbers, the danish systems are like the german system. If you look at the time (Clock) 2:30 is called half three (halv tre). So if you want to say 50 in danish you could say 2.5 multiplied with 20. 0r half three times 20. In (old) danish its “halvtre sinde 20” or just “halvtreds”
It's a numeral "halvtredsindstyve" (50) based on the words "halvtredje" (2.5), "sinde" (multiply) and "tyve" (20), it is very rarely used. Using a clock is a great way of explaining it, except that 2:30 would be "half past two" in english and "half [way to the] third" in Danish. When dealing with half numbers we can either use a more modern "and a half" like in English, or instead take the base and subtract a half, like we do with time. For 2:30 or 2.5, three is the base and we then subtract a half. It is written "halv tre" (half three) or "halvtredje" (half [way to the] third) - you got two and is half way to the third. I doubt many "count" in "twenties", you simply know that "halvtreds" is 50 and so on. For clarification, 55 is "fem-og-halvtreds" or in English "five and fifty" instead of "fifty-five".
You’re right, strictly speaking, they are not neighboring countries since they aren’t directly connected by land. However, I personally consider them neighbors because they are close to each other and both part of Scandinavia.😊
So about the numbers in Denmark. It's really not that hard! 10, 20, 30 and 40 are ti, tyve, tredive and fyrre and means ten, two tens, three tens and four tens but is spelled and pronounced quite a bit diffrent from Norwegian. Norwegian numbers, at least in Bokmål, used to be more like danish numbers, but they simplified how to write and count numbers at some point. In Denmark we always count ones before tens so for example 121 is hundrede én og tyve (hundred one and twenty). The Norwegians used the same system to until 1950 and then changed to counting tens before ones "hundre tjueén" (hundred twenty one). The danish counting system is a little backwards I'll give you that but we like it :) The names for 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 are based on twenties like you said. 60 is just three times twenty ("tre sinds tyve" which is shortened to "tres") and 80 is four times twenty ("fire sinds tyve" which is shortened to "firs"). I think you use "halvannen and halvannet" for "one and a half" in Norwegian, right? Well we use halvtredje (2,5), halvfjerde (3,5) and halvfemte (4,5) as well to name our numbers in danish (but not for anything else). So 50 is "halvtredje sinds tyve" shortened to "halvtres" (2,5 x 20), 70 is "halvfjerde sinds tyve" shortened to "halvfjers" (3,5 x 20) and 90 is "halvfemte sinds tyve" shortened to "halvfems" (4,5 x 20). See it's actually pretty easy and logical... okay maybe not, but it's easier than french where 70 is 60+10, 80 is 4x20 and 90 is 4x20+10!
Jeg har aldri tenkt på at vi faktisk har det samme i Norge med "halvannen" og "halvannet". Jeg har klart å knote meg frem til hvordan det danske tellesystemet fungerer, men tror ikke dansker flest skjønner hvor komplisert det oppleves for folk fra andre land. Jeg har lest forklaringene fra andre dansker i kommentarfeltet, og din forklaring er den beste fordi du ikke forventer at vi skjønner noe av det på forhånd - med unntak for at du viser at vi har noe lignende i Norge med "halvannen".
born and bread in northern Germany, living in Norway now, Denmark never had this drawing on me, I never had this chill atmosphere. I have in Norway. I had many daytrips to Denmark and Danish was a thing in northern Germany of course (They even have their own party and have their own language in Germany) but nevertheless...Norway it was and is for 20 years now🤩
BTW: I love the coastline, loving the North Sea and the Deich but I don't. agree with you, there is another vib in Denmark and that's what you must live.
@@svennielsen633 But there's no real celebration of Grundlovsdag in Denmark, only a few speeches and such you that only few Danes attend and no parties. It's nothing at all compared to Norway's huge celebrations.
@@ITubeTooInc - you speak from ignorance. When I lived in Denmark 30 years ago we would always go to a local celebration near the monument raised in memory of the democratic Constitution. It is true, that politicians do not celebrate this day so much (they hate democracy) but the people do.
The national remembrance day is Valdemarsdag (The king Valdemar´s day), the 15th of June. The Danish flag Dannebrog fell from the sky 15th of June 1219 in the battle of Lyndanisse (Estonia), and since then it has been the national day. But nobody knows, sadly.
German Crusaders fought nearby and it may have been one of their flags that "Vladimir" took home. It is hardly to be recognized, as the Original is still kept in a church in Germany, I think to remember? On Malta they still use the Crusaders Flags also but they claim that it was a "worn Flag" the King took home, as their version is 4 equal red squares and the cross.
As a 33 year old Dane. I always felt like Sweden and Norway has more sticked rules. Also for speed limits and driving with alcohol in the blood. What I think we have in common is our build-in Jantelov state of mind. Where if you watch some American show or whatever he/she will have no trouble telling you how good he or she is compared to someone else, which is kinda weird for us to do so, cuz it should be mandatory and we dont have to put it down into words. What we like to put into words is our directness of what we believe is right or wrong, which can be wildy missunderstood by other cultures for being rude, which is far from the truth, we just operate in a very direct way, so our friends and family know where we are comming from. So to end this nonsense of mine. Du har en smuk udstråling, nice lille sammenlignings video. Savner skiferie i Geilo, Norge :)
You forgot Bornholm on the map 😂. About the number system. 50 ½ treds, then you get to 60 which is 3es, 70 is ½ fjerds, 80 is 4 s and 90 is ½ fems, get it? every time you get to a number that isn't devidable by 2 and makes a whole number that can be devided again and again you say ½. Hope that it makes a bit of sense. Would be nice if you make a video about the difference between Jul and Christmas as they are very dissimilar in the way that they're celebrated.
No, it is not the same as the German one. I've never had any problem understanding the German system, because they don't mix twenty times into the system. The fact that in Germany you put the one before the ten is a trifle compared to the Danish system.
numbers are as follows. 1-20 then 30 is 20+(0.5*20) 40=2*20, 50=2*20+(0.5*20) and so on. The number 58 is 8+((2*20+(0.5*20) 8+20+20+10 EDIT: 58 = 8 and half of the 3rd. (base 20)
former the grocery shopping in Sweden was about saving money, but with the exchange rate, it isn't any more, now it's about diversity, you get more products in. Sweden
Highest point in DK (Danish Kingdom) is Gunnbjørn Fjeld, 3693 meter. DK size: 2,2 million square kilometers, which makes it the 13rd largest country in the world. Compared, Norway is just a pimple in the universe. We talk the way we do, because we don't want people to know, what we are talking about. Only the initiated know. 🙂 Wine and beer when 16 years. Hard booze 18 years. Danish pastry originates from Vienna. That's why we call it Wienerbrød. It was a baker strike several hundred years ago. The King at the time, invited Austrian bakers to the country, and of course they brought their own recipes. Rema 1000 is Norwegian and they have bought Aldi in DK, so Aldi is leaving DK. Yes, we have constitutional day, it is 5th of June. The only thing I miss here in DK, is such a good neighbor Norway has. 😁😉 BTW. In 2022 (I think) we got a land border with Canada! Beat that!! Google "the whiskey war".
I would love to explain the numbers (some people have claimed it's like German numbers, but that's wrong) The Danish word for 50 is halvtreds which is a contraction of halvtredje snes. Which means half of the third twenty or 2.5x 20. From there or goes tres (tre snes), halvfjerds (halvfjerde snes), firs, halvfems. Congratulations, you now know something most Danes don't while being dumber at the same time
Norwegian here, pretty much how I see it too, I do feel Norwegians are more easy going and laid-back though, it's kinda like the weather. We need to adapt, not end of the world if snow storms arrive, we chill and do stuff another day instead. Danes are much more continental, we basically the same people, but Norwegians was dropped off at the north Pole, needed to fight the elements for survival, while Danes could relax with a beer in Copenhagen and get served a nice dinner, while Norwegians needed to fish dinner and fight a polar bear or two to keep the food. That sums it up.
So how does one flirt with someone who is half Norwegian and half German? Does this work? Du bist wundabar! Vil du ha kafe med meg? I just move here last December, and I’m still learning Norsk.
Nice video. What about the economy? It’s been going downhill in Norway the past decade - the currency has had a collapse. It’s now painfully expensive for a norwegian in Denmark. Denmark seem to have a less volatile economy and their currency remains strong. What are your experience?
Each of these countries has its own charm, but it really depends on what you're looking for-Denmark for city life, Sweden for nature and culture, Norway for stunning landscapes and high wages...Personally I haven't been to Finland yet. 😊
I am Danish and I LOVE Denmark. I would choose Norway
Really wanted to be the first to comment but I was too late! 😅 Either way: I love your videooos!❤
Thank you! 😍
I think it's a bit funny how Danish is harder for you to understand amongst the 3. As a dane myself, i feel swedish is the hardest and i find Norwegian to be sorta easy to understand (as long as it's nynorsk)

Halvtreds is short for halvtredsindstyvende. Half third (meaning the 3rd is half = 2½) sinde (meaning times) tyvende (meaning 20). So 2½ x 20

For 2:30 or 2.5, three is the base and we then subtract a half.

I doubt many "count" in "twenties", you simply know that "halvtreds" is 50 and so on.

So about the numbers in Denmark. It's really not that hard!
10, 20, 30 and 40 are ti, tyve, tredive and fyrre and means ten, two tens, three tens and four tens but is spelled and pronounced quite a bit diffrent from Norwegian. Norwegian numbers, at least in Bokmål, used to be more like danish numbers, but they simplified how to write and count numbers at some point. In Denmark we always count ones before tens so for example 121 is hundrede én og tyve (hundred one and twenty). The Norwegians used the same system to until 1950 and then changed to counting tens before ones "hundre tjueén" (hundred twenty one). The danish counting system is a little backwards I'll give you that but we like it :)
The names for 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 are based on twenties like you said. 60 is just three times twenty ("tre sinds tyve" which is shortened to "tres") and 80 is four times twenty ("fire sinds tyve" which is shortened to "firs").
I think you use "halvannen and halvannet" for "one and a half" in Norwegian, right? Well we use halvtredje (2,5), halvfjerde (3,5) and halvfemte (4,5) as well to name our numbers in danish (but not for anything else). So 50 is "halvtredje sinds tyve" shortened to "halvtres" (2,5 x 20), 70 is "halvfjerde sinds tyve" shortened to "halvfjers" (3,5 x 20) and 90 is "halvfemte sinds tyve" shortened to "halvfems" (4,5 x 20).
See it's actually pretty easy and logical... okay maybe not, but it's easier than french where 70 is 60+10, 80 is 4x20 and 90 is 4x20+10!
Thank you for clarifying! This helps a lot! 🤩🙏🏼
Jeg har aldri tenkt på at vi faktisk har det samme i Norge med "halvannen" og "halvannet". Jeg har klart å knote meg frem til hvordan det danske tellesystemet fungerer, men tror ikke dansker flest skjønner hvor komplisert det oppleves for folk fra andre land. Jeg har lest forklaringene fra andre dansker i kommentarfeltet, og din forklaring er den beste fordi du ikke forventer at vi skjønner noe av det på forhånd - med unntak for at du viser at vi har noe lignende i Norge med "halvannen".
og fra endnu en dansker DK 🥰
Hello! 👋🏻🇩🇰
born and bread in northern Germany, living in Norway now, Denmark never had this drawing on me, I never had this chill atmosphere. I have in Norway. I had many daytrips to Denmark and Danish was a thing in northern Germany of course (They even have their own party and have their own language in Germany) but nevertheless...Norway it was and is for 20 years now🤩
BTW: I love the coastline, loving the North Sea and the Deich but I don't. agree with you, there is another vib in Denmark and that's what you must live.
Norwegians are almost as talkative as oysters. Fortunately, us Danes can do all the talking in Scandinavia 😄
Too bad nobody else understands you then, even when trying to speak English. ;)
Haha true! 😆
Halb Norweger und Halb Deutsch? Dann bist du ja durchschnittlich ein Däne 😄
Norway and Denmark is a brotherhood.. But Germany… No thanks, i don’t like Bratwurst
Haha 😂
I don’t like Bratwurst either. That’s why I live in Norway now. 😁
Danish alcohol politics reminds me more of the German's. And we have our ways to get our alcohol, election day in Norway, you can't buy alcohol then😁
Very true, I am half German, so I can relate. 😃
Danish constitution day is called Grundlovsdag and always on the 5th of June :-) !
It is incredible that this information is not on Google.
@@svennielsen633 But there's no real celebration of Grundlovsdag in Denmark, only a few speeches and such you that only few Danes attend and no parties.
It's nothing at all compared to Norway's huge celebrations.
@@ITubeTooInc - you speak from ignorance. When I lived in Denmark 30 years ago we would always go to a local celebration near the monument raised in memory of the democratic Constitution. It is true, that politicians do not celebrate this day so much (they hate democracy) but the people do.
The national remembrance day is Valdemarsdag (The king Valdemar´s day), the 15th of June. The Danish flag Dannebrog fell from the sky 15th of June 1219 in the battle of Lyndanisse (Estonia), and since then it has been the national day. But nobody knows, sadly.
German Crusaders fought nearby and it may have been one of their flags that "Vladimir" took home. It is hardly to be recognized, as the Original is still kept in a church in Germany, I think to remember?
On Malta they still use the Crusaders Flags also but they claim that it was a "worn Flag" the King took home, as their version is 4 equal red squares and the cross.
As a 33 year old Dane. I always felt like Sweden and Norway has more sticked rules. Also for speed limits and driving with alcohol in the blood.
What I think we have in common is our build-in Jantelov state of mind. Where if you watch some American show or whatever he/she will have no trouble telling you how good he or she is compared to someone else, which is kinda weird for us to do so, cuz it should be mandatory and we dont have to put it down into words. What we like to put into words is our directness of what we believe is right or wrong, which can be wildy missunderstood by other cultures for being rude, which is far from the truth, we just operate in a very direct way, so our friends and family know where we are comming from.
So to end this nonsense of mine. Du har en smuk udstråling, nice lille sammenlignings video. Savner skiferie i Geilo, Norge :)
I agree! Thank you so much! 😊
You forgot Bornholm on the map 😂. About the number system. 50 ½ treds, then you get to 60 which is 3es, 70 is ½ fjerds, 80 is 4 s and 90 is ½ fems, get it? every time you get to a number that isn't devidable by 2 and makes a whole number that can be devided again and again you say ½. Hope that it makes a bit of sense. Would be nice if you make a video about the difference between Jul and Christmas as they are very dissimilar in the way that they're celebrated.
Thank you for explaining! 🤩🙏🏼 and that’s a good idea for a video, thanks!
number system is the same as in Germany, for example five and twenty is fynf und tvansig
No, it is not the same as the German one. I've never had any problem understanding the German system, because they don't mix twenty times into the system. The fact that in Germany you put the one before the ten is a trifle compared to the Danish system.
numbers are as follows. 1-20 then 30 is 20+(0.5*20) 40=2*20, 50=2*20+(0.5*20) and so on.
The number 58 is 8+((2*20+(0.5*20) 8+20+20+10
EDIT: 58 = 8 and half of the 3rd. (base 20)
former the grocery shopping in Sweden was about saving money, but with the exchange rate, it isn't any more, now it's about diversity, you get more products in. Sweden
True! 😊
In Denmark we call it winerbrød. Wien the call it Kobenhagener.
Aah that’s interesting! 💡
Must be AI, never seen a so perfect face❤
Det er at høre dansk accent😂😂i have you have kolonihave😂😂😂
Norwegian would be similar to Danish even if there was no union though - the same with Swedish.
Du er meget smuk, Linny. Hilsen fra Aarhus, Danmark. Superb video, by the way.
Wow. I nesten 3 minutter fikk jeg ikke med meg noe av hva du sa. The eyes are the window to the soul.wow
Haha takk! 😄
Greetings from a mountain ape, according to Danes. I dont mind being called that. Its ok. We are.
Highest point in DK (Danish Kingdom) is Gunnbjørn Fjeld, 3693 meter.
DK size: 2,2 million square kilometers, which makes it the 13rd largest country in the world. Compared, Norway is just a pimple in the universe.
We talk the way we do, because we don't want people to know, what we are talking about. Only the initiated know. 🙂
Wine and beer when 16 years. Hard booze 18 years.
Danish pastry originates from Vienna. That's why we call it Wienerbrød. It was a baker strike several hundred years ago. The King at the time, invited Austrian bakers to the country, and of course they brought their own recipes.
Rema 1000 is Norwegian and they have bought Aldi in DK, so Aldi is leaving DK.
Yes, we have constitutional day, it is 5th of June.
The only thing I miss here in DK, is such a good neighbor Norway has. 😁😉
BTW. In 2022 (I think) we got a land border with Canada! Beat that!! Google "the whiskey war".
Thank you for sharing! 🤩
Wienerbrød is partly from Wien and partly from Denmark. In English wienerbrød is called a danish.
numbers. 50 in danish is "halvtreds", comes from halvtredie snes, hvor snes er 20. altså to snese, 20 + 20 plus ½20.
Hei hei😊
Fra femti er det 20× systemet. Så femti er halvtredje (2,5) gange 20... halvfjers (3,5)x20 = 70. Firs 4×20=80. And so on. Not complicated at all
I would love to explain the numbers (some people have claimed it's like German numbers, but that's wrong)
The Danish word for 50 is halvtreds which is a contraction of halvtredje snes. Which means half of the third twenty or 2.5x 20. From there or goes tres (tre snes), halvfjerds (halvfjerde snes), firs, halvfems.
Congratulations, you now know something most Danes don't while being dumber at the same time
Danish beer are good!
True! 🍻
U r very good explainer
👋👍
Norwegian here, pretty much how I see it too, I do feel Norwegians are more easy going and laid-back though, it's kinda like the weather. We need to adapt, not end of the world if snow storms arrive, we chill and do stuff another day instead. Danes are much more continental, we basically the same people, but Norwegians was dropped off at the north Pole, needed to fight the elements for survival, while Danes could relax with a beer in Copenhagen and get served a nice dinner, while Norwegians needed to fish dinner and fight a polar bear or two to keep the food. That sums it up.
Привет 🙋🏼♂️ ☕️ 🧇 Спасибо за интересное и прекрасное видео 📹 👍🏻🔝✅️ 🫠
Vi har skam en "Constitution day" det er den 5. juni Grundlovsdag, det samme som Norge.
..Du er flink. Flott video. Judos fra Narvik
Tusen takk! 😊
great video!
Which is better to live Denmark sweden norway
So how does one flirt with someone who is half Norwegian and half German? Does this work?
Du bist wundabar! Vil du ha kafe med meg?
I just move here last December, and I’m still learning Norsk.
good video
You are so impressive! Greetings from Estonia!
Great video and beautiful eyes :)
Thank you!! 😊
Nice video. What about the economy? It’s been going downhill in Norway the past decade - the currency has had a collapse. It’s now painfully expensive for a norwegian in Denmark. Denmark seem to have a less volatile economy and their currency remains strong. What are your experience?
Which is best to live Denmark sweden norway or Finland
Each of these countries has its own charm, but it really depends on what you're looking for-Denmark for city life, Sweden for nature and culture, Norway for stunning landscapes and high wages...Personally I haven't been to Finland yet. 😊
Can you tell me where in the world there is a country for people to live in?
