Well, we swedes dont like when anything swedish is compared to anything danish. Then there is the rivalry between our two peoples. Most swedes want to one up all the danes and so when she understands him he is probably getting disappointed because he himself could not do the same if the roles were reversed and he had to translate danish. Thus he feels one upped by the dane which is very very grave.

As a danish person, I have to uphold the front of us not liking swedes, but in the end, we really don't care. In general, swedish, danish and norwegian are somewhat alike and I understand most in casual and somewhat professional conversation. Swedish is a little tricky as some words in danish and swedish are somewhat alike but have COMPLETELY different meanings in each language. So every once in a while I might be confused by thinking the conversation goes somewhere it really doesn't.

​@@AuDHDarling Yes, they have the same origin but also later "mixing". It's not a popular interpretation in Britain, but many linguists think english is actually at least a bit a creole language. There was a huge influx of settlers from especially from what now is Denmark but from other "Viking" areas too to Britain. The english language didn't only get some vocabulary from the "vikings" but there were changes to grammar. Also I suspect a lot of words that get attributed to the common ancestry or as loan words from dutch may actually come from old norse. I feel like the pre-viking english is actually less intelligible to someone who knows swedish than modern english even though it should be the other way round if the similarity is (only) because of the common ancestry of the languages. Except there are a lot of words that used to be similar before especially french replaced them. I may be wrong though or maybe it's just very complicated 😅 I haven't studied old english nor old norse, I'm just interested in linguistics and etymology and know both english and swedish.

Xenophobia is the “fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners”. While xenophobia is similar to racism, racism is prejudiced thoughts and discriminatory actions based on differences in race or ethnicity. A person can be both racist and xenophobic.

Brits in general have no or little knowledge of other germanic languages! (english is also a germanic laguage, but also got more french and latin influence than other germanic languages) Even if the words sound similar, brits have a hard time understanding the swede! If you read old english, it's closer to swedish. Swedish in the viking era through the middle ages was hugely influenced by "Low german"= Plattdeutsch! (I think that is why you could understand the swede)

Of all the contestants to appear on the show, I probably like Katherine the most. She is very crafty when it comes to solving the problems presented to her, whilst being highly entertaining in her goofy deadpan sort of way. Loving it!

As a swedish learner, this is a very interesting exercise, and it just makes it so much funnier xD I just wonder as well, did the showrunners know the participants dont know the language? Imagine one of them having had lessons and just going „lite långsammare, tack, en gång till?“ (a bit slower, please, one more time?) and acing the task :D

Me and my awesome Swedish: Ha, I bet I can totally understand what he's saying. His greatest fear is... "av min slickas" - okay, "of my being licked", said in a weird way. He's afraid of... being licked. I'm so good at this.

So, my strategy would have been to hand him over the task and a pen and ask him to fill in the information as accurately and truthfully as he can. The task did not specify that you had to find out and present the information in english.

The other thing is, it would probably make it easier to make heads and tails of what he is saying if it was written. I find words tend to be more similarly written across languages than pronounced.
