Det bløde d

[@y2ksphinx]

Thank you for this. I've been searching for a long time and this is the first video that explains the Danish "soft-D"

[@squigoo]

haha, as a german speaker when i saw the title of this video i had a laugh... das blöde D ^^

[@jackfordon5532]

warum nicht einfach das ganze auf Deutsch schreiben, "das blöde D" versteht eh keiner der kein Deutsch kann

[@mysteriumvitae5338]

Exactly what I thought^^ "The stupid D" :DD Which is indeed the most difficult sound in Danish, so....

[@eddiepoole]

blöd und blød haben den gleichen ursprung. während es auf dänish "weich" bedeutet, hatte es im deutschen früher die bedeutung "schwach", verschob sich aber richtung "geistesschwach", eben blöd.

[@Scuba_Shrimp]

maybe im danish but i still know what it mean tho... didnt realize t before this comment

[@jb1563700]

not even my university professor knows how to pronounce this, she had us believe it was pronounced like a retroflexed voiced "th". shameful. great to have a native speaker explain how it's really pronounced. (and a little personal victory as this was my personal intuition as well)

[@lennertdebacker9604]

jakob plz; which professor? Rawoens isn't a professor

[@jb1563700]

Virkelig nyttigt! Tak for det, Alan!

[@marcoalexej7118]

Tak fra Australien!

Danish sounds so nice! The way "ked" is pronounced sounds exactly like "kill" in Irish English, but I've read that the soft d isn't actually like an L despite sounding that way to English speakers, so it's interesting.

[@johnubal2825]

+SuperPatchy I second that. Danish has a very unique type of pronunciation and I truly enjoy it. Additionaly, its written form is very elegant.

[@SuperPatchy]

+John Ubal It is! It's a bit of a pity that Scandinavians in general speak such good English, it discourages me from learning their languages a bit, but I'd definitely like to try one someday

[@alexandergr7995]

Enjoy???????Enjoy???????

[@grantofat6438]

"ked" and "kill" sound nothing like each other.

[@SuperPatchy]

@@grantofat6438 to you. yes, they do, if you speak hiberno-english, which you probably don't. really not sure why you bothered commenting this 7 years after i did hahahah

[@nataphisaraandersen5025]

Hvorfår det har forkerte engel. undertekten ..??hvor er kedeligt??

[@davidwilliams1234]

xiamu: that is exactly what I was about to put. You got there before me!

[@plamenmilev5654]

Mange tak, det var så nyttigt. :)

[@alexsimons7742]

thank you for the video

[@pinnerup]

Det lyder altså grangiveligt, som om du i oplæsningen af den nederste række siger [støð] og ikke [støˀð] eller [støðˀ], ligesom det også lyder som om, at du siger [køð], hvad det jo vitterligt også hedder - uden stød :)

[@arturochavezmogollon5192]

Mange Tusind gange Tak!!

[@InSync3912]

Very useful videos! And you have great pronounciation! I understand everything you say, for a change:) Please keep viedos coming!

Glad that I knew some Danish before seeing “bløde D”. Das blöde D means the stupid D in German.

[@aleksandarnikolov144]

If you add some subs, I'd really appreciate it...

[@vuksamotnjak9283]

It’s so hard 🤯 I have lived in Denmark for 8 years and still can’t prounance the soft “D” 😖

[@ionutgur]

I still don t understand how it is pronouced

[@mysteriumvitae5338]

Like, basically, a strange version of the "dark L".

[@grantofat6438]

Like "th" in "the". Gade = ga-the Gad = ga-th.

[@tordyclark]

The long DE only makes it sound more like L.

[@Vinbums]

Hold da op en god stemme!

[@Scuba_Shrimp]

looooooooooooooool du er dansk ikke?

[@鬱鬱-e2w]

sometimes it sounds like an L and sometimes like an R

[@Asehpe]

This means "that bloody d", doesn't it?

[@WhoKnowPaper]

Asehpe No. It means soft D. Otherwise it would be "det blødende D"
