[@honeyfromthebee]

Yeah, the difference between å and o, is something we hear quite easily, but others don't. Basically, I describe it to others by saying that Danish vowels are pure, but they aren't always in other languages. In English for example, when you say the letter 'o', you start out with å and end with o, ie. you start out more open and then the mouth becomes more closed. Vowels also have this sort of "movement" for example in Swedish.

Danish is actually very similar to English in the sense that there is a big disconnect between the written and spoken language. Lots of letters that are pronounced very differently in certain words, and lots of words that are not pronounced how they are spelled at all. So the Danish slurring of words and mumbling is not really that unique. English and especially French are just as bad, if not worse when it comes to that.

[@julieenglert3371]

When I was a teenager I spent a year in Norway as an exchange student and learnt to speak Norwegian fluently. Not perfectly but fluently. (I live in Australia) As I got older, I wanted to learn German better as my father had come from Germany but had never taught German to us. Now in my fifties, I went back to university to learn German. I was doing quite well, or so I thought. I attended a Sprachschule in Germany at the beginning of this year and every time I opened my mouth to speak German, Norwegian came out of my mouth instead 😏 It seemed that the more I tried to speak German, the more the Norwegian seemed to come in my mind. It was so frustrating 😪

I'm kind of thrilled that both Danish and German have "lekker" as well like in Afrikaans. It also means "tasty" or "sweet", but people will use it for "cool" or "awesome" as well like slang. It's also just a part of every South African's vocabulary. Everyone uses "lekker".

[@Sydebern]

Fun video! As a Frisian/Dutch person, at first i also thought the Scandinavian languages were very different, but when you go learn them you'll see there are many similarities to the West-Germanic languages. Of course a bunch of words are just different and also at times the order of words is different, but mostly it's the pronunciation that's making it difficult, especially with Danish, in which many consonants are "swallowed in" as it were. I'm currently learning Danish, have learned Norwegian before (although i am better at Danish now) and i am currently also beginning to learn Icelandic, which is at another level of difficulty. But my experience with the other North-Germanic languages helps somewhat. But this video reminds me: i really should brush up my German also! It's just that i like the Scandinavian languages very much. But i'm certainly going to improve my not-so-good German in the near future! Isn't language learning fun!

Ich habe in Schweden und in Norwegen längere zeit gewohnt. Und mit Plattdeutschkenntnisse kaum schwierigkeiten beim Sprachen lernen gehabt. Doch als ich Dänisch gehört und ich kam darauf garnicht klar. Und ich sage mal so, mein Schwedisch war nach einem Jahr so gut das an der tankstelle die verkäufer nicht bemerkten das ich Deutscher bin. In Norwegen war es einfacher, die beiden sprachen ähneln sich wie Deutsch- Östereichisch. Nur dachten die Norweger das ich Schwede seih , weil ich angeblich einen Schwedischen Akzent habe wenn ich als Deutscher Norwegisch sprach. Sprache kennt keine Grenzen, wenn man die geschichte der befölkerung der Eu kennt, wird es sehr Interesant. Ich komme aus Nord Deutschland und habe als kind von meinen eltern noch einiges an Plattdeutsch gelernt, welches eine große ähnlichkeit zum Englischen hat. Denn irgenwann haben nach den römern sehr viele Sachsen versucht In Großbritanien Fuß zu fassen. Anders wirds beim Irischen oder Schotischen in Irland sprechen sie gälisch, glaube ich, welches darauf hindeutet das Irland nie von den Römer besetzt war und sie dort ihre sprache weiter genutzt haben. Sprachen sind sehr Fazinierent. Ich habe ADS und normalerweise sehr starke problehme damit sachen auswendig zu lernen . So wie man bei meiner Rechtschreibung bestimmt sieht. Abschluß Zeugnis in der Hauptschule English 5 , Deutsch 3 und Rechtschreibung und Gramatik 6 Aber dann als ich mit der schule fertig war stieg mein interresse English zu lernen , weil ein Englischer Teenager in meine Nachbarschaft zog und Ich ihm Deutsch sprechen bei brachte , lernte ich im gegenzug sehr schnell English.

Actually it shouldn't come as a surprise. English is a Germanic language heavily influenced by Latin... but still Germanic at its core. The closest Germanic language would be Frisian, but there have also been later influence from among others - Danish (Viking invasions/Danelaw). Look up "Langfocus" on youtube if you want to know more about the relation between English (in particular Old English) and Germanic languages.

Thanks for this! The reason for the close similarity between Danish and German is not just the large influence of Lower Saxon on Danish (during the Hanseatic period), but also (in fact, mainly so) because both Danish and German (as well as English, Dutch, Swedish, Icelandic, Afrikaans, Faeroese and Norwegian) are Germanic languages, arguably descended from a "Proto-Germanic" (spoken somewhere in Scandinavia and North Germany in the 1st century AD).

A lot of people will sort of assume that Danish and German are mutually intelligible, so sometimes when people ask it's easier to emphasize the differences. But you're right: in comparison with most other languages, the languages are really similar.

[@privatiertrotzhartzivdankk8660]

But in conclusion im quite sure that youre Right and That they just Wanted to flex;)

[@gnawershreth]

Germans clearly have an advantage when it comes to learning Danish, they also tend to have way less of an accent than other foreigners. You can also just tell from this video that their pronunciations or "sounds" are very similar to Danish. Carina nails most the Danish pronunciations and she's not even learning the language. It's simply that we use a lot of the same "sounds" in our languages even though they're not mutually intelligible. Neither language has any wild variations in "tone" either, they're both "flat" languages so there's not a lot of "up and down" in tone all the time giving our languages a "singing" sound or whatever. But I suppose it's like Danish and English, German and English etc. While the languages are clearly different, they're not nearly *as* different as non-Germanic languages. Just compare them to Polish, Greek, Portuguese or whatever and you'll immediately see much larger differences.

Wenn ihr also noch Verwandte habt die Platt sprechen, lernt es! Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, gerade - oder auch weil - die Sprache(n) am Aussterben ist(sind).

[@Tuetensuppenkasper]

Danke für den Link. Ich spreche nur ein klein wenig dänisch, leider "rostet" das immer ein wenig ein, wenn man es nur im Sommer hört. Die DK Videos sind phantastisch zum üben. 1000 Tak

I loved the Dose apart 😁

I speak English and Russian, and without reading the subtitles I felt like I could follow along with the conversation.

[@Claude_van_Kloten]

Die dänischen Vokale, die ein wenig zum Schwa tendieren, die erweichten Konsonanten und das stimmlose S erinnern an Sächsisch oder Amerikanisch, also Sprachen, die schnellem Wandel, Mischung und Einfluss ausgesetzt waren.

Tolle Video! Danke!

[@sembia7060]

[@monnomestpersonne9394]

So ging es mir in Norwegen. Verstanden habe ich fast nichts aber lesen ging ganz gut!

[@BeryAb]

@@vietNguyen. Was ist dein Problem? XD

[@vidarv.9010]

Das stimmt Stefanie, z.B. fotball = Fussbald, LG. aus Norwegen

[@Serenoj69]

As a Dutch I can understand spoken Norwegian reasonbly well. A Norwegian professor said that Dutch is the only language after Danish and Swedish that shoudl be readably understandable or very easy to learn. I know a Norwegian that just talked Norwegian in Amsterdam when he ordered things and he told me that he got everything he asked for without a single question being asked. So it is closer, but German sure is not far off I guess.

Ich habe dänisch in 2020 gelernt und ich kann sagen dass ja deutsch und dänisch sind beide sehr ähnlich :) nicht nur ein paar Worte sondern auch ein paar ausdrucken und so weiter hahaha natürlich sind sie nicht so ähnlich wie zum Beispiel dänisch und schwedisch oder dänisch und norwegisch 😅😅 aber ich finde das deutsch und dänisch sehr ähnlich sind

[@ahmedharoun7156]

Gut gemacht , Das war super

[@jatojo]

Es gibt ganz viele "Sprachfilme" auf KZbin wo Dänisch mit anderen Sprachen verglichen wird - dieser ist einer der besten die ich gesehen habe.

[@kasirla4880]

I struggle sometimes to hear if people are speaking in Danish or German. This usually happens if someone are talking to each other a few meters away, and I just overhear parts of the conversation.

[@onesandzeroes]

Danish pronunciation is nuts. I love it.

[@fabriziospadi9478]

Sehr interessant!!! 👍🏻

[@norbertderiro9458]

Sehr sympathisch dieser Wikinger!

[@maxismator]

Süß ihr beiden. Ich hab´ nicht nur was gelernt, sondern auch spontan Lust auf eine Reise in den hohen Norden und darübher hinaus zu unseren lieben dänischen Nachbarn bekommen. ´Danke´ :-)

[@erika9353]

Vielleicht mehr Sätze? Es ist ein bisschen langweilig nur zufällige wörter zu hören. Außerdem, sehr gut, danke! ☺️

[@rainerm.8168]

Genau. Und dann wird das Hörverständnis sehr viel schwieriger.

Fantastisk video. Mange tak. Vielen danke.

[@isidoradumitrov6816]

Best guest ever!

[@jamc1978]

Souds beautiful both lenguages

[@anns.3322]

Henrik spricht Deutsch genau wie ein Deutsche ☝🏻

[@anns.3322]

@@vietNguyen. ja, ein bisschen; er ist aber ziemlich anziehend, meiner Meinung nach.

[@krankerspast769]

Er hat einen kleinen akzent. Aber ich finde das sympathisch :D

[@YOURTECHFRIEND]

Almost keine Dänen sprecht wie gut deutsh wie er tut. We are all gonna speak english in about 150 yr, then this video will be in a museum of langauges

[@walterpfannschmidt8449]

Long time ago I visited a friend in Copenhagen and couldn't understand what was said, but with my knowledge of Dutch, I could read... Nice experience...

[@Serenoj69]

But you are German. Did you need Dutch then? Anyways: we were in Rovaniemi Finland and we could not understand a single word of the FInnish language. But they had a lot of things written in Swedish which was 100% conprehensible for us DUtch. It was very funny actually. I even talked Swedish (or what I made of it) in the Hotel and they understood me just fine. Hahahaha.

[@Temofombiy]

sehr interessant, danke:)
