Danish Tongue Twisters and how to pronounce them

[@ferdinandvonschill4512]

Me as a german Flensborger with many danish friends, the danish "d" has been still not an easy task. 😅 I have still a strong german accent in Danish. "Fisker Frits fisker frisker friske fisk" is also a common tongue twister in German. "Fischers Fritz fischt frische Fische, frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritz". Tak for det!

We have many things in common :)

I can see it now, I go there and ask for directions to the bathroom and end up with a bowl of red sauce with cream. :D It would take YEARS for me to master even the basics, but I sure;y enjoyed the lesson. Thank you, my friend.

[@Skjalden]

Well, at least you would be trying a new dish. A bowl of red sauce with cream sounds delicious :)

[@Sheepdog1314]

thank you !! As a German in the US I often slip in my german-style pronunciation, that's how people find out I am an "outsider"...haha

[@Greye13]

Lol, this was a lot of fun to try.

Kommer altid til at tænke på Olsen Banden når jeg hører denne sætning; 'stativ stakit kasket' :)

Do you pronounce the "K" in Knækker or not? It kind of sounds like you do, but i'm not sure.

[@Skjalden]

yes, you do.

This is basocally the easy version of the Kazakh TV tongue twisters video.

[@taurus_x_cz]

it's really maddening how the same letter is pronounced differently in each word. are there even rules for that or do you have to learn each word separately?

[@GrandmarGaming1969]

as a dane i dont think there are many rules to it, u just have to remember how they are pronounced

[@halfabapandmusket]

Easy 😀

[@blablubb4553]

Why even have a „d“ in your language, when it will most often sound like just another „L“?

[@Vesperfelis]

The danish D is a product of the old norse "ð". Where Swedish and Norwegian dropped the ð for a d, the danes had a tough break up with the sound and seemed to get stuck in between getting rid of it and keeping it, thus the soft D was born.

I will stick to English tongue twisters and make fun of visitors, thanks.

This is similar to netherlands Dutch i could roughly read and and understand some of tbe words

[@orionlavinmartinez3186]

As a Dutch speaker, the most similar to Dutch to read is actually Norwegian, sometimes you can even understand entire (small) texts
