I'm danish, and a beautiful about the nordic countries (Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Norway and finland) is, that we can make extreme fun of each other, without anyone getting offended. I think it's because we have a deeply rooted national selfworth in each of the countries. And that we are peaceful towards each other, and have been for hundreds of years. We have stopped waging wars on each other a long time ago. Not to say that we have always been peaceful. Denmark and Sweden have waged NUMEROUS wars on each other, but it's over now.

My own experience with Danish English was very positive. I'm an American who loves languages but doesn't speak any Scandinavian language. Years ago I was in Copenhagen and needed to get something at the local convenience store near my hotel. So I got out my phrasebook and tried to figure out how to ask for what I wanted in Danish. (I hate the rude tourists who start speaking English to everyone, no matter what country they're in.) When I got to the store, there was a teenage guy behind the counter. As I tried out my attempt at Danish, he smiled and said, "Actually, I speak English." And we proceeded that way. The thing is, his English sounded as if he had been born a kilometer from where I live! I was astonished. I suppose it's possible he had lived abroad, but I encountered similar situations with other Danes as well. Needless to say, this level of English was not what I found in countries that speak "big" languages like France, Italy, and Germany.

@@jaysimoes3705 According to the relevant articles in Wikipedia, German has between 175 and 220 million speakers; Italian has 85 million. While not as big as French, Spanish, English, or Portuguese, those numbers still sound pretty big to me. In contrast, Danish has around 6 million speakers.

@@cufflink44 Still that is probably not the reason. May be as an AMerican you do not know, but people in Germany, Spain and Italy are simply not accostumed to English for a reason: everything in their country when it comes to movies and series is in their own language. So there is no English even if it is John Wayne in a western. JOhn Wayne now talks German or Italian etc. In Denmark (small amount of speakers) and in Portugal (300 million or so I guess speakers) everything is subtitled. So kids from the age of 8 or so are well versed in English. Also in Denmark and I think in Portugal kids get English from a young age. I live in The Netherlands where my kid already gets some English age 5. So that is a more likely reason why these people are so good at English. As an example: Danish. We have loads of Danish series and all are subtitled. I will admit Danish is quite similar to Dutch written. I could always read the Scandinavian languages without any lesson. But spoken it is extremely difficult and different, especially Danish. I would never have guessed it is close to my language it is that different in pronounciation. So I can read articles in Danish, Sweidsh and Norwegian and know what it is about. So one evening the TV was on and I was reading something, in fact I was in a corner of the room and could not see the television. People were talking Danish but a bit more slowly and I realised I understood everything. Every detail. This only happened because of the fact that I have seen so many series and movies that I once they slowed down a bit, I realised I learned it. And so it happens with English series in Portugal and Denmark.

@@jaysimoes3705 Oh I agree completely! 😊 I think the fact that movies and TV shows are not dubbed in places like Denmark and The Netherlands but instead are presented in the original language with local-language subtitles has a lot to do with the proficiency of English in those countries. (And also the educational system, or course.) I've been involved in film production, and for economic reasons, dubbing is always into languages that have very large numbers of speakers. I envy Europeans like yourself who are exposed to different languages from an early age and grow up bilingual and trilingual or more. Most Americans are notoriously monolingual and can't understand why the whole world doesn't speak English.

I think he's speaking Finnish and only Finnish people understand Finnish. 🙂 Finnish is TOTALLY different from the other Nordic languages. It's related to Hungarian or something. But Finland has the same welfare system etc as the rest of us, and some of the Finns speak Swedish. (I'm not Finnish despite my 1st name.)

As a Bosnian-Herzegovinian myself, I think I can totally relate to this, given the multitude of the "Balkan" ex-YU languages, and I'm quite sure there's similar stand-up here in the region, too. I must say I rwally enjoyed watching this particularly as I have had a chance/orivilege of working with all the Nordics except for Icelanders, so hearing them speak their respective languages was like music to my ears (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish, obviously).
