    I really like the "do i have to saw" which i believe is the Dane way of asking "can i saw".
    Me as a Norwegian misunderstood this question as well when talking with a danish co worker.
    I'm like "No, you don't have to do it if you don't want to, i can do it myself" 😂
    Let's say we were both pretty confused in this situation.

      And to all non-Danish/Norwegian speakers: "Må" translates as "must" from Norwegian, and "may/can" from Danish

    This was funny! 😄And interesting too to a Finnish guy trying to learn Norwegian.

    I get that this is humour, but for facts sake: Yes, Norwegians, Danes and Swedes spoke the same language a thousand years ago - almost the same language as the Anglo Saxons (they understood eachother). The Norwegian language today is mostly based on the Danish language. Icelanders, on the other hand, still speak the language that we all spoke during the viking age

    1814 Denmark gets drunk on Swedish beer and loose Norway after 200 years. Norway sees its opportunity for independence, but Sweden won't have it. Sweden forced Norway into a union that lasted until 1905. What do you know, beer really does the trick! 😂

    It's true. I understand Danish when I'm drunk, but they don't understand me 😢

    That was funny in Norwegian, but I don't think it translates and it requires quite a lot of cultural insight to understand some of the absurdities. But it's not _wrong_. :) If the Danes could dial back their language a hundred years everything would be fine. :) But they've done this in England as well. I've spent time in both London and Seattle and Seattle is very simple for me as a Norwegian. It feels pretty much native. But London … god damn. I very often couldn't understand a word. Or worse; I thought I could pick up words but the sentences made no sense. It's very much like that with Danish for me. With subtitles and rewind, I get by, but it's not easy. :)

      I hate when Scandinavians speak English to each other. We have our own unique languages ​​and should not have to use English. We can understand each other fine, if we speak clearly and not too fast. 😜 Kærlig hilsen fra Danmark. ❤️🇩🇰🇳🇴🇸🇪

      @@user-lw8bv3ln9n I think that might be easier to say if you're Danish. :)
