    Did you know at one point in time, the Danes had a colonial empire with settlements in Africa and India? Yep, and today we explore what it would look like if they held on to their former colonies.

      Here's a secret: "Hygge" means "cosiness". I really don't understand what the fuss is all about because it's even in Gyldendal's dictionary. But there are other words and terms that only exist in Danish such as "Statsskattedirektoratet", "Overformynderiet", "Psykofarmakamisbrug", "Institutionssocialisering" and "Socialmusikpædagog". Not to mention more slangy expressions such as "perker", "fejlfarve", "bollebræt", "smatso", "spasserrøv" and "nasserøv".

    Very spot on, from a Dane. You forgot to mention that Iceland is very close to Denmark still and that Icelanders have Danish as a 3rd language still. Many Icelanders come to Denmark for work and studies and the rest seems to go to Norway. Norwegian and Danish are closer to each other than Swedish and likewise the peoples culture. Norwegians and Danes can happily speak native to each other and joke around while Swedish is hard and most Danish-Swedish conversations just default to perfect English but with both insisting on saying "Sorry for my poor English" :)

    • @TheMissnola
      @TheMissnola 5 лет назад +4

      For me personally I understand swedish very well but I can for the life of me not understand norwegian. Reading it is easy but understanding it gives me great trouble. The time a norwegian talked to me at Smuk Fest and I repeatedly had to tell him that I couldn’t understand a single word he said no matter much he tried is still fresh in my memory. In that regard I guess it different for every one but I also taught myself swedish as a kid, just by watching swedish TV4.

    I'm surprised you didn't mention some of the more Vikingesque like
    Knife = Kniv
    Knight = Knægt (though the meaning has changed over time)
    Boat = Båd
    Sword = Sværd
    Berserk = Besærk
    Skull = Skald
    Die = Dø
    Cake = Kage (yup, no Vikings, no cake ;) )
    The days of the week were also Viking names
    Monday = Mandag (Day of the moon)
    Tuesday = Tirsday (Day of Tyr, god of war and justice)
    Wednesday = Onsdag (Day of Odin, king of gods and god of pretty much everything, especially wisdom)
    Thursday = Torsdag (Day of Tor, god of thunder (torden) and on occasion also of war)
    Friday = Fredag (Day of Frigg goddess of wisdom or Freja goddess of fertility and love and on occasion war)
    Sunday = Søndag (Day of the sun)
    The bright ones might have noticed that Saturday is missing.
    Saturday comes from Saturn, whereas the Danes call it Lørdag, which stems from the old word for bath, as Saturday was bathing day, apparently that didn't have enough traction with the brits though ;) )

He wrote down his actions in the game as if though they were real historical records, and turns Denmark into a global empire, pretty much taking over Britain's role in real life, albeit with a lot of differences, of course:

I do have some trouble with terms that i have never heard of, but for the most part i can get by in Danish. After living here for 4 years i married a Dane and we have a son together. I love the healthcare system and everything Denmark offers and will not be going back to America anytime soon.

    Fun fact: Shakespeare nicked the plot for Hamlet from Saxo's Gestern Danorum which contains the legend og Amlet which is quite similar and written about 3-400 years earlier.

    Southpark already showed a world in which Denmark had ultimate power.
    It was scary.
    side note: Denmark pretty much wins having Greenland, everyone else had to de-colonize their bigger territories (except for some islands) but Greenland is huge, having a huge territory like that is a plus.

      Russia still has it's bigger territory. Also the USA if you count them as colonizers.
