I love how they confidently says that the 2 amusements parks are placed near cophenhagen and then procceeds to place them on the wrong island😅
10:20
I loved that they place the two amusement park in the wrong place. Some dane must have laughed his/her ass of 🙂
det er super :D
Dane here…indeed laughing my a** of 🙈😂 They just placed Tivoli Copenhagen in f-ing outlaw-Auning 😂
Poor guys. It's their first video, give them a break 🙂
10:23 sorry that's not Copenhagen. That is Randers!!!
Copenhagen is on Sjælland.
And that is Juteland
was looking for someone to point that out... Was shocked by the placement of those pins 😂😂
*EDIT* how do you even get Billund - whoch would, had it not been for Lego, have been an otherwise pretty insignificant small town - right, and not Copenhagen, you know, the fricking capitol of Denmark 🤦♂🤦♂🤣🤣
I love your user name
i know right i live in denmark i laughed when i noticed that
vil nærmere sige ryomgård og havndal, men langt fra århus og københavn
@@msiig6476 ah okay jeg kommer ikke selv fra området af men tak for den lille information
I’m from Denmark and the amount of pain I have felt in this video is alot
I think I died watching it.
@@Chaos_incubus Yup
then you cant take much of anything..
@@Weise1001 i thing that they mean because it was funny because they placed the 2 amusements parks in the wrong place
@@idastrmvig3300 prob right
Eyyy Danish historian here - the Scandinavian crosses likely came from the knights templar, who also participated in the battle where Dannebrog 'fell from the heavens'. The Norwegian flag is based on the Dannebrog, hence the strong resemblance. As for Iceland during the viking era, it was its own distinct kingdom then, with its own viking traditions and very, very strong warrior groups, so trying to conquer them back then was a futile endeavour!
And also. It wasn't the national flag back then, it was the kings flag. Normal people or even the nobles were allowed to use it.
How to drive every Danish person insane with one single video 😂
I get that this was their first video attempt, but man my brain struggled a couple times watching this haha
😂😂
It is true aboutthe pastry. It originates from Austrian bakers. However … they “only” brought the recipe for the basic “butter dough” here. The refinement, purification and evolving into the vast amount of different vienerbrød (danish) has been done by bakers since that introduction.
Exactly. We call it Wienerbrød because it is inspired by the dough recipe brought by the Viennese bakers during the baker shortage, but the rest of the world knows them as Danish because we evolved the recipes to what they are today. Sort of similar to how the French got their initial croissant ideas from Turkish bakers - hence the halfmoon shape
Sooooo many errors in that video about Denmark 😂 I’m Danish btw. But loved your reaction 🤜🏼🤛
If you look at the map at 7:29, you can see that Skåne - the southern Sweden - was once part of Denmark.
That's also why Copenhagen was chosen to be the capital of Denmark. It was the center of the country.
Now it lies a bit awkward, on the edge of the country.
But atleast it's not on Bornholm, it would be akward, but a very beautiful place for a capital.
Same with Stockholm, when it was made capital it was pretty much dead center of the realm.
lol, those map pins for the amusement parks are amazing xD They could only have been more wrong if they'd put them somewhere near Nuuk on Greenland xD
alle ved, at hovedstaden ligger på lolland
@@Mikkel-of-Lolland. og sagde at Öresund er dansk xd
Greenland = very big. Iceland = much smaller. Faroe Island = very very small. Geography now completed
THAT WAS SO COOL xD
I love how much you learned in such a short amount of time! :D
Yeah all our flags are derived from Dannebrog. The legend goes that we were losing the battle at Lyndanise in Estonia and the flag fell from the sky, the red color symbolising blood and the white cross (Christianity was all the rage back in 1219, ya know) symbolized purity.
As for the Vikings, they weren't around long, but it seems that way because of the impact they had on world history along with their relative hype in modern pop culture. Also a lot of both foreigners and Danes sometimes can't tell the difference between the Bronze age and the Viking age, or simply has forgot or wasn't taught.
Greenland is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but they are self governed since 1979.
Don't learn from their sense of geography though x3 They showed Bakken and Tivoli as being on a totally different landmass than Copenhagen, around and in which they are placed x3
Good video! I like to watch videos of my own country. I sometimes learn something new. And sometimes I am just amused by the wrong facts and reactions.
But the fact that he does not even know where Copenhagen is located is funny to me. Copenhagen is on the eastcoast of the island Sjælland (zealand) with Sweden as a neighbour. Not in Jylland (Jutland) where he said.
With that said, I stil enjoy the videos. Keep it up and learn more about the worlds diversity.
To be honest, we do have words for please: "be om" or "bede om", however, we almost only use it when we sit at the dinning table and ask for something, like salt. so "can I please have the salt" would be something like "må jeg bede om saltet".
"be" and "bede" also means pray.
yea we have a lot of phrases for asking for things/favors etc, just not a singular word that directly translates to "please". You could say "vil du have noget imod /would you mind" etc.
Be om er faktisk at spørge om eller "spørge for", og har ikke meget med please at gøre....
@@dockingtroll6801 Men det er ækvivalenten i forhold til hvor det bliver brugt. "Vær så venlig" eller "venligst" ville nok være en mere korrekt oversættelse. Ligegyldig hvad, så har vi ord for det.
@@Pyladin Pointen er stadig at der ikke på dansk findes et tilsvarende ord. Ja vi kan konstruere os rundt om det og lave en sætning der i store træk siger/gør det samme, men ikke med eet ord.. Prøv med "Can I have that, please" eller endnu bedre "May I have that, please"... men alt om alt, det er en video lavet af en amerikaner til amerikanere og de ved meget meget lidt om verdenen udenfor USA så lad dem blive imponerede over hans "viden og evner til at udtale danske ord" og lad os sidde i baggrunden og grine ad ham, lidt ligesom med alt andet amerikansk....
@@dockingtroll6801 😃👍
Venligst er jo ordet...men vi bruger det ikke rigtigt mere. Jo, flyt dig venligst, men det er hvis kun når man er irriteret.
Many Americans, for some reason, do not know that Denmark was cofounder of NATO and thus have been a NATO member from day 1. Regarding Carlsberg. The founder of Carlsberg cultivated, invented and patented the yeast that made it possible to brew beer that could last a long time and gave a consistent product. Before that beer could only be produced locally and often the production was instable and parts of the early production had to be thrown out. Speaking of yeast. It was a Dane that invented the yeast that made the production of human insulin possible saving millions of lifes and preventing millions from losing their eyesight due to diabetes.
The reason that everywhere in Denmark is close to the ocean is not only that it's small, but also that it consist one peninsula and a lot of islands.
You can compare the short Viking age to the even shorter age of the Wild West. So many movies and books about the ages, do you think it would spand much much longer.
Also the Viking age didn't just spawn out of nowhere and then just cease to exist immediately. Much of the Viking culture already existed before the Viking unifications, exploration, settling, pillaging, and trading. The 250 year period was simply just a distilled culture with greater unison.
While we don't have a word directly translated as "please", we do often use "thanks" ("Tak") as a substitute for it. (For example: "Will you pass the butter, thanks?" / "Vil du række smørret, tak?")
Im also from denmark and when i read this i just noticed that they where right about us with just expecting to be nice since we say thanks before it's even done😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
Pølse is the danish word for sausage. Red or not. They use the same word in Norway and Sweden as well. A Hotdog is a Hotdog.
German and french is taught as third languages in prime school. Turkish, arabic and other languages from the middle east, is only spoken here due to a hugh influx from there to europe, durring the 60's up to today.
Denmark and The Netherlands are practically copies: both monarchies, the same system of government, about the same surface area, both have a border with Germany. Denmark has a third of the population and GNP of The Netherlands.
I love how he did his research 🤣🤣 Bluetooth is danish and it is named after the viking, not the other way around and our capital is in the other side of the country by the boarder to Sweden
Ehh... no, it´s Swedish. Ericcson mobile center in lund came up with the first drawing of it, then it evolved togheter with other companies, lik Nokia, Intel etc.
The name came from the book "Röde orm" after someone read it.
@@perkia164 Still Harald Bluetooth was not just some book edition, he was a real Danish king, -but he was married to a Swede (if that is a comfort to you).
The cross in the flag is representative of Christian countries. I believe there are about 14 flags with a cross.
Most coat of arms from back in the day also had a cross on it, which is likely were most of the country flags originate from.
Svend Tveskæg - The correct translation of [ tve ] is "split in 2" or "double up" or "double sided". - Nothing to do with fork :)
Oh my god, I was just watching this for fun but my god. They included my island(Bornholm, which is Danish and has been Danish for many many many years)when they colored the Swedish part of the map. Just because we are closer to Sweden doesn’t mean we’re Swedish😢
It’s kinda annoying but I guess at least our island isn’t forgotten on the map like usual. Love the video tho man! I heard in one of your previous vids that you’re thinking of moving to the Netherlands, good choice, hope it happens for you!❤
Hallo charlie hoe gaat het
I do not speak Dutch but I am guessing 'hoe gaat het' means 'hvordan går det' meaning 'how goes it' ~ 'how is it going' ~ 'how are you doing' - all should have ended with a ? though ;) (unless I am completely wrong)
Denmark doesn't own Greenland - it's "just" in our kingdom. Greenland has its own rule and autonomy - however Greenland is under the "care" and "protection" of Denmark meaning we basically help them economically and patrol their waters to ensure their security. They on the other had have 2 of 179 seats in parliament, which doesn't sound like a lot - however considering they only have a population of 50.000-ish it's actually better representation than the Danes them selves have since for it to be even there would need to be 236 seats in our parliament.
Anyway that's why we were reluctant to sell it to Trump... well... one of the reasons at least... We simply can't because we don't own it and do not rule over it!
We maybe live in a small country... But we think, I know! We play a big part of the world... I'm just saying LEGO, Vestas (Windmill), Maersk (Shipping Company, who played a big part under WW2). Now our Men football (soccer) team ranked 10 in the world... Maybe we are small... But have a lot influence
When they pinned the amusement parks on the wrong island at least do your research
and the small island of Bornholm is not swedish.. as shown in the grafik
10:23 I don’t know if they just placed them randomly, but that’s not at all where they or the capital are
The 85% members of the church is kind of misleading. You have to actively sign out of the "membership", and most people don't bother doing that. If you ask Danes about our belief in God, it will be 50% or less that are actually religious.
Actually you have to sign in with an elaborate procedure called babtism. I never did, and so didn't have to sign out either.
im from denmark and the part whare they say the regions have different language is not true. they have different dialect but not different languages
And we are not different ethnic groups either
Yes it is a small country, but still bigger than Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland. The reason of the short distance to the sea is, that Denmark is made of 1 peninsula (bordering Germany) and about 450 Islands whereas the biggest of those is where the Capital Copenhagen is located. The total coastline of Denmark is about 8000 km.
Copenhagen is known as Nysted in Danish, and it is situated on the largest island in the world, Lolland.
I see "the sound" is the English name for Øresund (??) In modern danish, "Øresund" does kind of sound like it means "ear-healthy" 😂 However the name is two old words, put together in a name. So therefor the words had different meanings, then today. Øresund actually means: "Ør(e)": Graveled beach. "Sund"= name for a small body of water. So the "Graveled beach body of water" 😆
Why that has translated to "The sound" in English, is most likely just because "sund", sounds like "sound"(?) -That's my guess, at least..
Why they forgot Bornholm I don't get. It gives us a water boarder to Poland, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and White Russia. But whom is counting? 😂😂😂
Cool video, and nice to see your point of view on my country.The two amusementparks are placed wrong. They are both placed in Copenhagen on Zeeland, and not in Jutland as shown in the video. The ocean is a great part of most danes lifes.
Bakken is located in klampenborg. Zealand yes. Copenhagen no.
Tivoli is in Copenhagen.
I'm surprised how often in videos like these, they often unintentionally leave out Bornholm when highlighting Denmark on a map
That might be one of the worst videos about Denmark you found…. There were several factual errors in it - and of course some true…. Btw I do like your videos… 👍🏻
Yes Denmark technically owns Greenland but it's also an Independent Nation that still falls under the Danish government, it's a bit wierd to explain.
A bit like Hawaii or Gibraltar.
No, Denmark does not own Greenland
There is a chross in the flag, its a symbol og christianity. The flag was given to the danes in a war. A bishop was praying,and then the flag came from heaven. The danes won the war
"Danishes" are not from Austria, but the bakers who originally immigrated from Wienna, obviously were XD We call it Wienese bread because of the bakers' inheritance.
It is more like a variant of some paestry made in Vienna that was adapted when some bakers went to Denmark and there was some shortages of goods. The first Wienese bread were likely a croissant made differently, and it tasted good so it stuck around. Many Danish people then travelled to the US and sold the paestry, so they were called "Danishes" because of that.
April 9 1940 was my grandfather birthday he turn 5 that Day
Yes the viking era wasnt longer, but before the viking era it was the same for many hundreds of years just without the boats. The Romans also wrote about their struggles with the tribes from north specifically the danes. The boats are what made them vikings, when christianity came after those 250 years, it all gradually came to an end and the high european middle ages began
The Romans had struggles with the Germannic tribes from about year 25-50. Not the danes, as Denmark didn’t excist back then.
The northern part of the Roman Empire was way further down in Germany.
But it most likely that the nordic tribes in what became Denmark propably dealt with the romans, trading fur and amber, but we shall up to around 515 befare the danes are mentioned as excactly danes
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447
When i say specifically the danes i mean specifically the tribes located IN the area that is Denmark today….. Its just an easier way to describe it bro…
Im talking about the cimbrians and teutons. Two of the many tribes residing in what is now Denmark. They fought the romans like crazy and thats before year 0.
@@DanskRoesti
First of all, Denmark as one United country did not exist until a couple of centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire. There no longer was a Roman Empire to conquer Denmark by that time. Unless you are referring to the Holy Roman Empire, But that is an entirely different story, and a sore one of that for Denmark.
Second, the Romans didn’t reach the Scandinavian territories. Simple as that. They had to get through Germania first, but kindda gave up going further north, considering these populations to be savages and barbarians. At the time the Romans fell, Denmark was Living in the Iron Age, and was experiencing a community that was very closed off on itself and not open to trade with other countries. It was also a period of human sacrifices to the Gods and horrific executions, so the Romans might have been right about Them being barbarians.
And third, there was no invasion of Denmark. The Holy Roman Empire were the first to try to influence Denmark politically when it finally was United as one country and in one specific Way, they succeeded, but not by military conquest. By religion. In those same years Denmark became a country, it also became Christian. Thanks to, you guessed it, the Holy Romam Empire. They wanted the Viking raidings to stop and they believed making Them Christian would help. It didn’t. Now the Vikings just raided and conquered in the name of God.
Roman coins, weapons and gear have all turned up in Denmark, and the big picture seems to be high-level gift exchanges and diplomacy between Rome and the Danish tribes. I’ve encountered at least one expert who claims that there was at least one chiefdom, centered on Zealand, that was formally a Roman client state-not ruled directly from Rome, but allied with it, kept friendly with Roman gifts, and providing manpower for the legions. According to him, men from Denmark served in Marcus Aurelius’s forces during the Marcomannic Wars in 166-180.
I am danish and the pronauns of danish words Are bad
Half the people watching this are danish - yeah we know m8 hahahah
Hey vikings haß to bè c.lose to the sea
What do you learn in school in America ..
Bornholm gets labeled as Sweden, but it's actually a Danish island.
Reconquered after loosing Scania.
Hi
5:52 while the viking age was "only" 250 years, the age before, the iron age, had a lot of the same characteristics as the viking age. a warrior centric pagan culture with lots of fighting and raiding. just so happened that raiding was more internal, raiding the town over for food. the viking age is tracked from when we first started raiding outside of scandinavia until we became christian and stopped.
More importantly, the Norman culture grew from scandinavian viking-culture. The Normans later created kingdoms in southern Italy and more famously England. Denmmark has existed as an entity since 930 when it arose from Viking culture and seeing as it exists in the same form today as it did then, one could argue that the viking-era hasn't finished, yet.
"Tivoli-Garden" isn't in Jutland, but in Copenhagen, it's like saying that The big apple is in New Jersey
I was crying by the danish pronunciations 😭😭
Same😭😭😂😂😂😂
Already dated at 3:20, Denmark now has land border with Canada.
No, but the kingdom of Denmark does
your back!😊
Øresund is more correctly translated to "Ear" (Øre) and "waters" or "water passage" (Sund - actually also means "healthy" ... Danish is a weird language). I'm guessing it's called that because the island of Sjælland looks a bit like a head and it's placed in the ear area - however that one I actually never looked into but think I was told it as a child.
Just to let you know how weird Danish is:
Word: "Så" (Saa)
Meanings:
Past sense of "see"
To "sow"
and also "then" or "and then" or "so"
Which means you can make a grammatically correct sentence like this:
Så så vi ham så på hans mark.
Which means:
Then we saw him sow his field.
Another one which can be REALLY hard to grasp is a word which pronounced in one way, however spelled in several different ways with each having a distinct meaning:
Vejr: Weather
Værd: Value
Hver: Each
Vær: Be
It's really strange however Danes just know this and don't even think about it normally 😀
Great video, but a little imprecise. Also, would probably be great to inform your audience about why the Kingdom of Denmark is so insanely rich with one of the highest GDP per capita in the world: It used to be industrial and food product exports (which are still significant), but the last 25 years it has been pharmaceuticals from three major, global players: NovoNordisk, LEO and Lundbeck.
It is misleading to say that we don't say "please" because we don't need to beg for help. We use the words "gerne" and "bede" to express the same idea. "Gerne" means, roughly translated, "kindly" or "gladly", while "bede" means "beg", "pray", or "request". "Jeg vil gerne bede om en pakke [insert cigarette brand]" is how you commonly ask for a pack of cigarettes in the store. Translated directly, it means: "I would kindly request a pack of [insert cigarette brand]." Although that might sound ridiculous in English, it's totally normal in Danish, and I used this phrase myself before I quit smoking. So while we don't have a snappy word like "please", we have polite phrases using other words to the same effect. There is moreover much that we borrow from English in our casual speech, and the word "please" definitely makes it into many casual conversations.
I can explain the cross on the Danish flag. Historically it was thrown from the skies from God at the battle of Talinn in nowadays Latvia, in a battle against the Russians. The Danish king caught it on his sword, and in the same moment the Russians fled. Talinn is Latvian for Denmarks City, so it was got the name from that battle.
The flag does come from then, but historians has considered perhaps it didn't fall from the sky from God.
What is likely is that it was the tabard of a warrior monk, a crusader, who whore the Christian cross in the allignment you'd normally expect. The victory is a historical fact, the crusades is a historical fact, and Denmark conquering the area is a historical fact. So to tell the story, it is likely that it was woven in that "Yeah,. God wanted us to own this area, and helped us defeat the heathens".
Sweden copied Denmarks flag. Finland copied Swedens. Åland islands copied Swedens. Norway is basically the Danish, because they were Danish. Icelands is Norways swapped because they felt closer to Norway, though was Danish, same with Faroic Islands. still Danish. Greenland, are Christian. but kinda feel Denmark is a colony power, so they decided to not use the cross, but the Danish colours.
This is just embarrassing to watch. I made it about 4 minutes in…. Ignorance is a blessing I heard. Bless your lovely heart
Well the danish pastry was made by bakers from austria in denmark so if the danish is austrian because of that, by that logic the hamburger is Danish not american XD 😂 cause the Hamburger was invented by a danish immigrant who’s family still has the restaurant in New Haven USA
-They pinned Copenhagen wrong on the map. And Bakken, is actually a few kilometers NORTH of Copenhagen. Ah, if they only take Jutland from being Denmark, that explains it. The two islands to the right on the map, Fyn (Funen) and Sjælland (Zealand), are also "Denmark" even as far as the little island on the other side of Sweden, called Bornholm.
Try Geography Now on Denmark. That's a bit more accurate
There are alot missing from the history of Denmark, there is important too now.
Edit: Okey geography fails also.
Edit: the Viking Age in Denmark was from 793 too 1066, so around 273 years.
Edit: wee owned Iceland one's, but they left us under ww2.
Edit: wee also owned the Baltic's, Normandy and all og England.
Edit: Rusia would not have existed, whif out the Vikings, Rusia started in a settlement build by the vikings.
And a lot lot more too tell
Denmark does not own Greenland. It is a part of the Rigsfællesskabet. This means they have home rule, and Denmark helps with foreign Police, defense, and foreign politics. Denmark has a small elite group of soldiers patrolling the northeast part of Greenland on dog sleds. They are the only people for thousands of miles. Øresund, is not a see as the others. And the main one is Greate Belt (Storebælt), which is used for deepwater vessels. A dialect is not an ethnic group. There is no direct translation, but a better translation of Svend Tveskæg, would be Svend Two beards or something. You are spot on about Iceland. That was danish too. Harold Bluetooth established the Kingdom of Denmark in the year 965. Denmark has been a kingdom since. I am a dane, and I thought that word "tak," "Yes please," is equal to "Ja tak" I live about 10 miles from the point that is the longest from the Ocean. The video they should of the lighthouse is "Sletterhage Fyr." One of the biggest containerships in the world passes 1000 to 2000 feet away from that lighthouse when she calls on the port of Aarhus. That ship's home port is Marstal on the island of Ærø. Martals ports are way too shallow for the ship to ever visit. But the company Maersk was founded there.
I have no issues with your commentary, but the source video is... Sloppy at best. Using the Swedish word for Øresund, speaking of Tivoli being in the capital but using a pin placed in Jylland, showing a picture of kids playing with clearly not LEGO etc. And don't get me started on pronunciations... Doesn't this guy have access to Google? Video is a 2/7 at best.
The whole “in danish there’s no word for please because we think helping is something you should just do” isn’t all true. When you in English say please we just say thanks “Tak” so an example “can I have a muffin please?” We would say “can I have a muffin thanks
?” Another example “yes, please” we say “Ja, tak” which means “yes, thanks”
They forgot to tell the most important part of Danish history? In 1658-1660 they were at war and were occupied by their neighboring country Sweden.But with the help of the Netherlands under admiraal Michael de Ruyter,yes he again, and Opdam the Swedes were defeated and chased away. Strang that this was not considered important, otherwise Swedish was now spoken!😠
2:27 - The small island next to "SUB" at the bottom right of the screen is the island of Bornholm - belonging to Denmark.
4:37 - The name of the Danish flag is - Dannebrog - The flag is usually believed to originate from the Danish Crusade period in the 12th-13th centuries. However, the first documented use is in Valdemar Atterdag's coat of arms from the second half of the 14th century. A well-known myth about the origin of the flag states that the flag fell from the sky during Valdemar Sejr's battle at Lyndanisse in 1219 against the Estonians. The earliest versions of the legend, however, place this event in a battle at Fellin in 1208. These are two accounts from the beginning of the 16th century from the theologian and chronicler Christiern Pedersen and the monk Peder Olsen, respectively, which are probably based on the same, now unknown , source.
10:02 - The needle points to the town of Bjerre in Jutland. The world's oldest amusement park Bakken "The Hill" is located in Klampenborg Dyrehave 8 km (5 miles) north of Copenhagen, which is on Sjælland (Zealand), the island on the right in the picture..
10:21 - The arrow points to the town of Auning, which is also in Jutland. TIVOLI garden is located in the heart of Copenhagen, on the island of Sjælland (Zealand), which is the island on the right in the picture.
- Fun Fact:
Denmark has over 400 named islets, of which 72 are inhabited.
There are 8,593 kilometers (5340 miles) of coast in Denmark, of which 4,616 kilometers (2868 miles) of the coast are Natura 2000 areas, corresponding to 54 percent.
Denmark IS small. You can cross the country (not including Greenland, Faroes and Bornholm) in seven hours by car and still have time for a "pølse" somewhere along the highway.
To me personally this has been wonderful since I have wanted to explore the country, have had jobs in all parts of the country, and I have still been "close to home".
The Viking era was far longer than the cowboy era though and longer than the golden age of piracy too besides 273 years is longer than the US has had their independence (246 years), you can do a lot in that time and there is plenty of evidence and indication that exploration and raids existed far longer, one of the reasons the Danes did not remain Vikings is because they converted to Christianity and began to settle in the new world, but before 793 ad there was exploration, settlement and trade too, it was just not the organized raids the Vikings where known for from 793 to 1066.
Anyway I too will point out the obvious. Great video except for those location markers which are WAY off from where those amusement parks are actually located, they are a bit closer to the capital.
Not sure how old this video is, but Denmark actually officially as of recent has 2 land borders. One with Germany, and one on Hans island west of Greenland. Google whiskey war to learn more.
We now have a border with Canada as well
No, Greenland does and the kingdom of Denmark does. Not Denmark
In that video he forgot the story about the queen of Denmark and that’s her family had sitting on the throne since Harald Bluetooth and she in family with him.
And geography is not right that tivoli has place on Sjælland and same have Bakken in Nordsjælland Klampenborg 😂😂
I really don't wont to offend you guys, but as far as I know, you are not the best educated country, im sorry to say. How ever, i do love much about the states... but you lack on so many levels so far. I would love to visit the states but live there... not so much, there is much inequality and so fort.. sorry gyus. Best of luck to prove me wrong! Regards from a small town in Denmark - which contains a lot more than the Capital 🧡
bro..Bornholm is also part of denmark they're just leaving it out :((
1. they were taken over by russia while other part of denmark were taken by germany
2. when dignoursour exsisted other part of denmark was under water but Bornholm was over water it is a volcana
10.0 the placement of both rides are soooo wrong....
If you look ad the big Island closest to sweden, there is a half circle "missing" that is where our biggest harbor and there by copenhagen where both of those rides are...think the guy making this video confused Aalborg and Randers with copenhagen, both are big cityes but not where the ride is and not Our capital.
On frame"3:19" you show a map in the respective countries flag colours. Unfortunately you gave the island of Bornholm (the little island south east of Sweden) Swedish colours instead Danish. Tsk tsk
What country is the largest producer of rubber tires...? 🤔
Denmark - think of LEGO. 🤣🤣🤣
Bakken and Tivoli is not in Jylland 🙄 those two theme parks is located on the island to the Right call ‘Sjælland’ where our capital is Copenhagen🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
He is showing Copenhagen as a part of Jylland (jutland) it is not right, Copenhagen is a part of Sjælland (Zealand) oh and Tivoli is number 3, not number 2
as a baker we know that danish pastry its is not realy danish----- in 1840 all danish bakers were on a work strike to get better pay and work hours, the bakery ovners got Austrian baker to com to denmark and bake bread doing the strike, they brought the way to fold butter in to dough, the danish you know from today in US or denmark is a further development of the simple Austrian folded bread
8:55 kinda untrue. We do have a word or “words” Be Om but we have no direct translation of the word please
The video has the geographical wrong about the capital Copenhagen. It places it in Jutland, but Copenhagen is actually on the east coast of Zealand (a whole other island than Jutland). Therefore the placements of the amusement parks are also wrong
Eeeh, then you missed the story about Trump wanting to buy Greenland. And then he was angry that our Danish female PM calling this " absurd"......
Sorry I can't.. Nope, i need to point this out.. The little dot (island) that the video pointed out to be sweden, is actually also a part of denmark.. its an island called Bornholm, and its under Denmark, not Sweden as the video pointed out..

Get your maths right Charlie😎👍
They forgot to include the whole of the napoleon period and the many wars/battles that took place in southern jutland. The location of both of the amusement parks are completely wrong compared to the pin on the map.
The only battles that took place in the Napoleonic Wars were the Bombardment of Copenhagen (The british bombarded Copenhagen and stole our entire fleet!) which forced Denmark out of neutrality and join France. There was a short war with Sweden, which ended when Russia took Finland from Sweden. Bernadotte and Russia made a pact that Sweden would get Norway once the war was over.
Danish navy-crews sailed on french ships during the war and a small danish army operated in northern Germany (currently Poland), but didn't help with the invasion of Russia.
There were no battles on danish soil as you suggest. Only Copenhagen and Marstal saw any action and that was more akin to terror and theft than actual battles.
@@h.rolandj.9195 Yeah but the fact that we had the second largest fleet in the world was a huge factor we profited off the both of them. When the bombardment happened we decided to join napoleon against England. As a consequence to that we ended up losing Norway to Sweden. Its quite important. The battles that I am referring to are not from the Napoleon period it's the ones that took place in southern Jutland back in the Slesvig, Holsten period just as example you can take "slaget ved Dybbøl Mølle"
The word own implies theres a part that isnt free
They dont own greenland. Theyre a part of the "Rigsfaelleskab" - They have autonomous ruling and garanteed seats in the parlaiment, nomatter how many votes the runners recieve.
We might not have “please” but We have “be om” and We oftenly just use “please”. Danes use many english frases, such as, “yes”, “nice” and f*ck
We are the superior kingdom of Greenland, faroe islands and Iceland. and we are not minimized by any swedish shit. Actually they are not in the band, only because they can play the flute
KUDOS, I like, that you are so openminded. Trying to gather Information before jumping to any conclusons.
Denmark actually shares a border with Canada as well, we have a small island in the ocean that Canada owns half of
Well actually. We also have a land border with Canada... But it's a new border 😉
maby they sould de more recearch because the showed bonholm as part of sweeden even do it is ours and bakken was not on that location they showed more than 100km away the same for tivoli just a few things more errors like this that's why i would not watch more of there stuff
Dannebrog is the first registrered flag ever in the world!!! And as much as we are registred to the church ....we are not very christian..but we like the holidays.
I enjoyed your you video. This is my first time seeing your channel but I found the sound to low. I had no problem hearing you when you talked but I could hardly hear what they were saying on the video
Okay we are a small country but buy land size we are bigger then Belgium and
The Netherlands Even Tho they have a bigger pouplation then us yea. Nice video
Omg!! they somehow got the idea that copenhagen is in Jylland?? that big Island to the right of that is where copenhagen is... *facepalm*
Very interesting.
I only learned that Greenland was owned by Denmark a few weeks ago.
I saw a video of Conan O'Brien went there years ago when tRump was prez and wanted to buy Greenland (also first time I heard that tRump wanted to buy Greenland). Conan was asking people there if they wanted to be owned by the U.S. or stay ruled by Denmark?
FUNNY!
It was not even the first offer from the US to buy Greenland.
Greenland is not owned by Denmark, it is owned by its inhabitants, but it is a part of the Danish kingdom.
@@rasmuskehlet6651 Greenland is a formal part of the Kingdom of Denmark, which makes the inhabitants subjects of the monarch. It is only because Greenland has been granted some autonomy that it is not fully ruled by Denmark
Denmark are Denmark but the Kingdom of Denmark consists of Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe islands. Greenland and Faroe Islands both have represents in the Danish Parliament and both have extended self rule and own politicians/parliaments/administrations but when it comes to the Kingdoms overall security (defence) and many aspects of foreign policies it are governed via the Danish parliament. Denmark do not have representation in Greenlandic nor Faroese Islands parliaments.
In reality we are a family.
Conan was funny but Trump was not. Imagine how an American would feel if Denmark suddenly said we would like to buy Florida because we liked to have the facilities at Cape Canaveral! I do not think many Americans have understood the depth of the insult (and the stupidity of the suggestion itself) surrounding the absurd statements Trump made. The last colonial offer, because Americans need to understand that that was exactly what Trump made, he was your president (something you will spend the next 100 years regretting as you discover the things the rest of the world have but your massmedia dont dare to tell you broadly) and he made a colonial offer, even insulted the Greenlandic (and the Danish and the Faroese and the Danish Queen, the PM, the parliamentarians and the populations and and and) by calling it a "real estate deal" forgetting the entire population living in Greenland as they have for thousands of years. Trump was POOtin´s puppet and POOtin and big oil and other nasty lying globe destroying cooperate crooks had no problem working together to deceive the American people with slogans made in marketing and big IT date collection about Americans as foundation for mass manipulation. POOtin spent less money on getting a puppet in the White House than it would have costed to build one single naval destroyer. POOtin payed Cambridge Analytica to make a comprehensive demographic strategy relating to voter areas and specific targeting of individuals divided down to sometimes even streets and countrywide targeting of opinion groups as small as 50. Paid BIG IT data about how people have written online and/or clicked on opinions and buying patterns etc. memberships etc etc etc and then gathered all this, the data and the strategy and handed it over to his trollfarms in several places but the largest apparently in SKT Petersburg. From there they began the hole roll out loooong before Americans had a clue. Do Americans even know that one of the big demonstrations where pro and anti Trump people clashed had BOTH demonstrators, the pros and the cons organisers activated via that Skt Petersburg troll farm so imagine when POOtin sat in Kremlin watching US television seeing Americans fighting Americans and both parties did it because of a plan thought out in Kremlin many years before!!! THE ONLY thing POOtin in reality did was to take full advantage of the absurd political system that you have to be American to call a democracy because BOTH democrats and Republicans in reality are living off private rich people and their companies donations to them so they can buy the opinions of BOTH parties politicians long before the election takes place.
Americans DESERVE a multi party, one chambered parliament. NO electoral college. NO electronics in elections, 1 "X" on one piece of papaer have worked for centuries and ballots can be counted as many times it are needed. When it comes to democratic elections many Americans should realise that it does not matter how fast you get the election result, the ONLY thing that REALLY matter in a democracy are the quality of the result. 1 man 1 vote! ALL legal residents automatically get approval to vote per mail. NO official declaration of whom you want to vote for by declaring any party belongings prior to elections for normal people. Anyone can off course join a party if they like but otherwise none should have to declare anything, let the pencil talk. Political contributions HAVE to be limited and HAVE to be public otherwise it are corruption (basically how most democracies have it today outside US). Political parties and candidates gets a tax paid fee per vote. Politicians tend to serve those that pay them and that should be money coming from those they serve, the people, NOT the companies. As you can see, does not take many lines to paint up the simple rules that makes up the foundation for a functioning democracy. Modern Americans MUST now realise their political system are not serving them well anymore and the above would be a massive improvement that also would mean that the actual will of the American people would be represented more honest.
May you find the strength to realise you owe the Kingdom of Denmark, co founder of NATO and a staunch ally that actually have given USA a piece of land -free of charge- in Greenland so that USA for many many years have been able to monitor and respond to any missiles coming from Russia towards US mainland would be discovered and dealt with in time, an official apology!
May you also find the strength to change your democracy fast, very fast, because - as you have just experienced, your system is broken and now where POOtin found a way to place his puppet in the WH, I bet you he or the one coming after him, will try again. The oil companies and the rotten banks that silently supported it know that their massive bribes, sorry donations, (keep forgetting the system you have...realise it would be called bribes in all other Western democracies if so many money were transferred from companies bailed out with taxmoney again and again while they push the nation into structural debt (to primarily China) .
Think about it, but not for long. US are running out of time and so are the globe. I am happy that it seems the unjust unprovoked Russian attack have rewoken some Americans to face the facts of POOtin and what he are capable of convincing himself to do to gain more power and personal wealth.
With Denmark as initiator, Denmark/Holland/Belgium and Germany have just signed the "North sea summit deal". The world largest single energy transformation agreement, bringing 230 million highly energy consuming Europeans from fossil fuels over to sustainable energy made from off shore windmills that will be placed in the North Sea. It will also be the worlds largest hydrogen producing agreement with a minimum steady hydrogen output from 20 GW energy. (Not even 1 hydrogen project in the world today making hydrogenproduction from 1% of that). There are NOTHING preventing USA from making a copy paste of this agreement in your own waters. 40% of this project, signed a few weeks ago, will be operational in just 7 years!!! WHY USA do you still have the fossil fuel sector as your most subsidised sector in 2022!? Realise you will be outcompeted on the worldmarket very soon since more and more countries introduce CO2 taxation on imports. As the rest of the world transistions to sustainable energy you will end up with tarsand/fracking both destroying your land on top and a friend in the journalist killer Bin Salman that though WILL buy US advanced army material en masse (wonder what he will do with that when rest of world stops buying Saudi oil and income dries out, right?).
Please!
10:45 Wrong - Lego was invented by a brittish and was called Kiddicraft but stolen and later sold to Fam Christiansen founder of Lego
Ok, I have to step in, the small island south of Sweden, belongs to Denmark and is called Bornholm, it's where i live
