@@Zandain German numbers are easier. Danish numbers take the German concept and add three different ways to say four and use both base 10 and base 20 at the same time.
About not sharing language on the same landmass: Öland (the long, thin island in the south east) does not share the same dialect on the island. If you look at a map of Sweden, you'll see that Öland is pretty close and hugs the cost, so they share dialect with the corresponding point on the mainland rather than eachother because taking a boat over the sea for trade used to be more convinient than inland travel. On land you have to build roads, on water you'll get your highway for free. That's why Skåne used to be Danish, and Copenhagen was in the center of their empire until the infrastructure was developed enough to march troops over land from Sweden.
Not only against Swedish and Norwegian. There is a study done with children age 8-15 month with 18 different Germanic, Romance, Slavic and Semitic languages. Tre Danish one-year-olds understand significantly fewer words than peers with other mother tongues, and when the children are three years old, the differences are even greater.
A British Ambassador to Denmark learned Danish in Aarhus, and claimed he could understand the nearby Norwegian Radio before the Danish, because Danish is very floating with hardly an end to words, which passes into the next.
"Rødgrød med fløde" is a real thing, its a berry compot made of red berrys like strawberry,raspberry and rubarb, then it is chilled and served in the summer with cold cream ( some use sødmælk, the milk with most fat in ) the sentense is very often used to try and test foreigners in a chrash course if they can wrap theire tongue around the R sound and the Ø sound and you actually nailed it pretty darn good in your second try... kudos

I like Danish even if I don’t understand all, and still have probleme with the counting. To me the Danish spoken in the old TV serie Matador was ok to understand. They talked much more clearly than todays Danish in Copenhagen
It's no wonder scanians understand danish and doesn't find it that strange. The Småland forests was a natural barrier for ages. As a scanian myself I think neither danish nor their way of counting is hard. But a self-absorbed Stockholmer is often not even trying. ;)
I mean, there's Scanians who doesn't understand Danish, for example my sister. And then the Danish have a hard time understanding Scanians, well especially the Scanians in the North East of Scania and South West of Blekinge, and the Southern parts of Småland and the Southern parts of Halland. Where the Old Danish Dialects remain, and when I say old, I mean so old that they've changed only slightly since 1100... sure the vocab has changed but the pronunciations haven't that much. Okay some sounds have changed from back when Scanian was a language, as the forested areas of Northeastern Scania had it's own language back then. That was technically neither Scanian, Danish, Swedish or Gutnish. It is known as Jynge, or Lister in Blekinge. It's the language spoken in Göingebygden. Or should be spoken, as it's seldom spoken today, I mean, perhaps 2% of the people understand it.
Self-absorbed Stockholmer... I wonder who is really self-absorbed... First off. 80% of the people living in Stockholm aren't from Stockholm to begin with. They are mostly from other places in Sweden like Scania.. North Bothnia.. Dalecarlia.. And Western Gothia. At least 10% Are from Finland/Åland... So I find comments like this tiring.. And old/archaic..
@@PalleRasmussen Actually.. Linguists are pretty sure that the Norse language originated in Southern Sweden (Skåne being the main area) So technically we are all dialects of Skånska.. Includin Danish.
A myth (?) say's that once upon a time the French queen came to visit Denmark - at the time severely affected by drought - she became sooo happy and pleasantly surprised that the poor peasants spoke french when they shouted "Vive la Reine" = Vi vill ha regn (We need/want rain)
1. You did very well on the speaking... 2. Danish as a language, has many dialects, bc of the 400+ island separatisme 3. We don't all speak with a potato in our throats, but some do, more than others 4. and it's Copen-haygen, NOT Copen-ha-gen hello from Denmark 🌸
Without having seen the entire video yet I just want to respond to your comment on how the rest of Sweden and Norway didn´t end up having the same changes as southern Sweden and Denmark although we share landmass. You have to go back and think about the infrastructure... only the last 150 years ago people had transportations like cars, trains, aeroplanes so "common" people usually stayed in their small little village their whole life, mayby just visiting the neighboring village that had about the same dialect. And then think about all the mountains and forests (the Scandinavian coumtries have a lot) and lakes (Sweden is one, if not the country with most lakes and islands in the world that seoarated all the counties towns and villages. That means that you rarely heard any other dialect or changes in the language. I can add to this a true story. When my family went on holidays in Denmark we had our 5 year old cousin with us. She is from the north of Sweden where there are a lot of mountains and when we had been driving for some time in Denmark she exclaimed in a very sad and empathatic tone of voice. "Poor Danes that have too live like this!" seeing the very flat landscape. So it was probably easier to travel in Denmark even 1000 years ago and be influienced by new sounds. Denmark is also more connected to the rest of Europe and imported sounds from there.
No, that's exactly the thing - we can't really communicate with each other. We think we should be able to do it because we kind of understand written Danish....but then they start talking and when you only understand 30-40% of what someone says, it's impossible to communicate.
@@ellenstergaardgravesen1011 It depends entirely on which spoken form of Danish it is. Modern Copenhagen Dialect is a lot more clear than the Old Copenhagen dialect. And sure for me who is from Scania it's very easy to understand Danish. However most communication in Scandinavia is through English anyways. And if I spoke my regional accent of Jyngsk, then no Danish person, Scanian person or Swedish person would understand. And if I transcribed the words that I spoke, none of you understand it either. Dää naun wé döea. Di stau mé't swäe au gal. There is somebody at the door. They are standing there with a sword and is screaming. And out of all the Nordic Dialects, we have the most vowels out of all, and we have diphthongs and triphthongs, long vowels, contracting 2 or 3 words into a single one, for example Dää which in Danish is Den er or Swedish Det är. Og på den andre siden is turned into auhuansi, and og på den her siden is turned to auhinsi. Au(and) hu(on) an(other) sian(the side), and, Au(and) hu(on) hin(this here) sian(the side). When I speak, only Old people 70+ understand me. The younger people do not. It's a dying language, and the Government doesn't care, it's the same with the Dalecarls in central Sweden who speak Övdalska, they're literally unintelligible for a Swedish speaker, yet our government calls it a Swedish dialect. And I as a Jyngsk-speaker do not need to speak in that potato mash guttural back in the throat Danish manner, I speak very clearly and well enunciated, and I'm still unintelligible even to 99% of Scanians. And since it's only spoken in the region known as Göinge and surrounded by the Swedish dialect that is called Scanian. I mean it's Swedish with Danish influence.
We can, though, if we really try. If a Dane show some patience with us and speak a little slower you can understand most of it, at least in Copenhagen. I think that sometimes we have it in our minds that we probably won't understand each other, so we don't even try. One time I had my car broken into in Copenhagen, and when the police came I started to speak in English automatically. But for some reason, when the police officers found out that I was Swedish they refused to speak English to me and just spoke Danish. It forced me to really try to listen and while I probably didn't understand everything they said 100 %, we managed to get everything sorted nicely. Well, I'd been robbed, so that wasn't nice, but linguistically everything was fine. :)
Wauv!! I would looove to hear this out loud. Do you know of any video or something in that dialect? If I try to say it out loud, for myself here, from the written I would feel it would sound a little like how my grandparents talked. They were living in the uppernorht-west part of Denmark (Vendsyssel-jydsk) ( something like this: Dä-ä noun we a döer. Di ståe me-e swäer ou gåler)
Tbh, the creator could have pulled up some comparisons to Norwegian/Swedish in how they say some common words, to drive home the point a bit. This probably won't translate vey well to English, but here is one imaginary example: You say "Door" as an English person. Imagine that somebody would only pronounce the "Do"-part, but really more like "Doou" - that is how Danish sounds like to us Swedes. Just take a random English sentance, cut out half the letters and read it while drunk. Perfect simulatated Danish :D The question was "why Danish sounds funny", and he really does a poor job of explaining it so that outsiders can "get it". Yes, some of it comes from banter, but the majority of Scandinavians (Norwegians + Swedes) speak in a (to us comprehensible) certain way - then you have the Danes who sounds like they have their mouths full of porridge. They swallow half the letters in certain words, forget to pronounce the ending of others and to round it all off there is that guttoral cough-puke they do with the R's. Then they will suddenly pronounce words that are like 100% exactly like in Swedish, to everyones surprise, and immediately follow up with more porridge-in-mouth. It is fair to say that most of it is incomprehesible to an untrained ear. However, if you ask a Dane to sepak slowly and articulate, we Swedes can understand 98% of what they say.
I think somone should make an attempt of pronouncing English like Dane’s pronounce danish to explain what danish sounds to swedes and Norwegians. I bet it would be totally indecipherable.
And that phrase in the video is the most Danish sounding sentence, as it just mean red porridge with cream. And it should be rød grød med fløde på. Red Porridge with cream on top. However when the Danes sing in a musical or something it sounds a lot more like the rest of the Scandinavian languages, but that's because suddenly you have to enunciate things...
Is actually not true that we speak the same language all over Danmark. There are several dialects that is hard to understand for others. To me, the south of Jutland and Bornholm are difficult to understand.
The pronunciation at around 8:30, are definitly not "danish", they are from copenhagen, accents change trough out the country, and non where I come speak it like that. We rather almost cut off the last letter, prolonging the ÆØÅ sound to make the R. Like in all countries, dialects are a thing all over the wprld, and very regional... Also, Denmark is part of scandinavia, so the title of the video is pretty strange,
Just remember that Danish (Old Norse) is the basis for many English words, since it was mainly Danish Vikings who occupied England and the English adopted the language. So if we talk ugly or weird, so do you.
Yes, about 800-900 words that are still in use. But that was a *totally* different language though, compared to Danish of today. The most extreme parts of your peculiar pronunciation is only about a 100 to 150 years old. Before that you sounded much more like Norwegians and Swedes. Just listen to some old recordings, it's evident!
@@bjørnjacobsengaming In a way, but evolution without better survival or outcome is just random drift. Your language clearly went too far in the wrong direction.

Denmark is however connected by land to Germany, so it seems more likely that it was influenced by the much bigger German population at its border, rather than because the Danes "went places".
So many wrong things with the video - Like saying that "all of Denmark has the same dialect" is bat-shit insane if you've ever been to Denmark (outside of Copenhagen). I personally speak a dialect of Danish amongst family that is unintelligible to people who were born and raised in the capital area - And that's despite the fact that a less than 5-hour car-ride can take you everywhere in Denmark except for some smaller islands
