Fun fact danish people love to watch videos about danish people and Denmark
Yep, you got that right.
I’m danish, and right now, I’m only looking at people from other countries talking about our country 🤣
@@veraviolalaursen1955 Ja det er ret sjovt
@@masterm.3158 kun Danske mennesker ved den hemmelighed
im danish and i have not heard of that but okay
Why do you believe that? And is it not the same talk about everyone else that some are being talked about?
You pronounce the Danish words really well. Sådan!
dansker set

Dansker for life

How many in the comment section is from Denmark lol
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
I am 😂
Im

me :DD
Haha jeg er👏👏👏
As a dane I will give every tourist a good advice. Go outside Copenhagen. Denmark is much more than Copenhagen 😊
If you go outside Copenhagen then look for gust house called Kro. It’s a very small hotel but the food is often basic Danish food like our mom or grand mom made it 😋
@Palle Jakobsen
You cannot say that enough.
The icing on the cake is all the islands we have.
Palle Jacobsen, I live in Copenhagen and I love everything about it, but I would say that it would be a pity if a turist doesnt spend at least some of their time in Denmark, visiting other places. There are so many interesting and beautiful places to enjoy in our country. Our beaches, islands, historic sites, music venues and theatres, specialities in food and drink and public transport is excellent (even though we do like to complain about it, its muuuuuch better than in most other countries😉), or one can rent bikes (with built in gps) or cars if you prefer driving. I may be a "city girl" but I do appreciate and feel lucky that I live in Denmark❤️🇩🇰
exactly.. see what you want in copenhagen and move on as soon as you can. its a expensive place with selfish people. denmark is not that big and you can travel across it in less than a day so dont be afraid to go exploring.
Vi kalder det djævle øen for en grund
Maybe go to Vejle! It’s amazing :)
lmao i love watching videos about Denmark, it's hella funny to see foreigners' look on my country
Hello here from Denmark 🇩🇰 thanks for the kind words ❤️ you speak beautiful Danish.
@@napbaer ja da 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words, it’s nice to see people who also can appreciate our culture, when looking through a lot of videos, we are often seen as rude, because these people don’t really try to understand us, and only see the surface of our culture from outside of Denmark.
1000 tak fordi du taler så pænt om Danmark🇩🇰
I lived in Denmark for over 3 years. I can highly recommend it. I was awful at the language though, it is beyond comprehension to speak it (reading and writing is straightforward though) - not that it mattered much for communication as pretty much everyone speaks perfect English. Big shout out to my local - the Moose Bar in Copenhagen K.
We know danish is horrible to learn. So we don't expect many people to learn it.
I am a Dane, and a proud atheist, but I also appreciate the views of religious people - though I cannot say that I understand them fully ....
All things considered, this is one of the best characterizations of Danish people on TH-cam... open and honest, what more do You want?
You get the award of the year for how Godlike perfect danish your "Gul" (Yellow) pronounciation was. If in quiz should guess the danish person when pronounced yellow, I wouldn't be able to distinguish that with a danish person pronouncing it. And just your pronounciation in general is by far some of the best I've heard of someone who haven't lived in Denmark for like 10 years.
Thank you for your up-load: İ am Danish but live in the middle east now.
Yes, Denmark is a safe place and we do not carry guns and got a system/government that is working for the people not against them. Hope that you will make it back to Denmark again for it is a very special place- a safe heaven.
She’s just SPOT ON…!!
Big love from Ballerup, Denmark 🇩🇰👍🏼
Thank you for the kind words :)
I absolute loves this video cause it makes me see our country in a different way, to us Danes we see this kind of lifestyle as Normal, so to hear how other people react to our culture is pretty interesting to me.
So just to hear how some of the things we consider as small things such as food, hygge and even our trustworthiness all of these things are something I never really think about in my day to day life so just to hear how it impacts other people makes me appreciate it even more 😊
as a Dane I enjoyed this a lot...very candid and yet forgiving...it clearly shows me you have lived here and understand...that made my dat...tak ven...hygge
Your video is worth watching, and you clearly have insight into danish culture and language.
Thank you for the thumbs up ;) Hope to see you back in Denmark soon :)
Your pronounciation of the soft "d" is amazing, one of the hardest things for non-Danes!
Thanks for the kind words,, now i love my country even more :D . Good job.
Wow - your danish pronunciations are spot on! Praise to you 😁
We can learn a lot from you, as people we should always try and dig into a culture before starting to judge and jump to conclusions of other countries, thanks for being so lovely a soul.
"Not a lot of people have cars", you didn't see any other places of Denmark than Copenhagen? There's over 2.6 millions cars in Denmark with a population of 5.8 million people. Almost one car for every other person including kids, teenagers, elderly and so on. That's a pretty significant number.
Other than that, you're pretty spot on. Great video. (y)
São Paulo with 12 million people and 18 million cars: amateurs
@@karlosdaniel6537 we have the highest taxes on cars in the world. xD
Ja, men ift at mange i usa har 3-5 biler pr husstand
@@neklasjames Jep, der er flere biler i USA per indbygger, men at sige at næsten ingen i Danmark har bil er helt forkert.
That is not a lot of cars in comparison to the US per capita.
You have such a wonderfully positive attitude. There is no best country; but you've learned to embrace what is best. You'll always be happy.😊
Im from Denmark • i love to live in denmark
Thanks for reminding me to get an extra key made. Noticed that you said that we don’t lock our doors. I don’t know anyone in the city I live in who,doesn’t lock their doors. Your pronunciation is amazing. It must be hard to get used to since there’s basically no nasal sounds. Glad you had a nice experience.
Yeah I would never not lock my door at night! During the day: I don't lock my door. At night: always!
But I did have to pressure (😆😜) my husband into locking our car when it's parked in our driveway, and the door at night 🙄 Because at his parents house, they didn't always do that 😆
We May be small but our heart’s are big just like your heart ❤️🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰tak
you are always welcome here in Denmark just say 👍🏻😊 regards Michael from Jutland. you speak beautiful Danish
I live in Denmark 🇩🇰, but spend the winter months in Arizona. 🇺🇸
Just so adorable and beautiful woman.
Thank you very much 🥰🇩🇰
Thank you You really pronounce the Danish really really good. ❤️
Thank you for the words. :D
Thank You!
Literally while I’m watching this video, my mom shouted:
*TIME TO EAT*
I’m danish btw lol
There has always been immigration to Denmark. From the Dutch in the 15th century, to potato Germans in the 17th century, the Huegonot who left France during the 16th-17th hundred. My own Finnish and Swedish family migrated to Denmark back in 18th as well as from Poland between ww2 and ww2.
Vietnamese refugees 1970's. Serbs, Turks and other Balkans also in the 1970's. Etc.
Much smaller numbers you can not compare to today
you also have a steady number of roma and tatere moving into denmark from the 16th century to the early 20th century
A funny thing about Denmark is that people that live on Sjælland and people that live on Jylland talks two different types of danish🇩🇰
There are many types of danish dialects..
There are at least 5 different just in jutland...
@@kennethhansen6867 "Jylland"
@@ihaveablankname Jutland is the english word for it. Sjælland is Zealand, Fyn is Funen.
@@imnotgaybut6408 Oh OK i didn't know SOZ
You have great pronunciation! 👍
Yeah, our language is very unforgiving tonally. The grammar is easy, but our pronounciation is kinda Klingon/Orcish, lol. Thank you for your feedback and kind words😊
Flot udtalt dansk. And thank you so much for the nice words.
"Mormor mad" Hahahaha
happy to hear other like ower contry too :)
Thank you for the praise 🤩
Nice video, and you pronounce The Words good. “Godt gjort” and remember The Word “Mojn”
4:11 - This might have been true 20-30 years ago, but now most people in Denmark lock their doors.
Thanks from a viking😊👍Nice words
Your sweet! Come back soon :)
Thx for the kind words. I think you have to live or work with danes, to get into us.
3:54 well i mean if you have heard some episodes of the podcast Mørkeland, then you wouldnt think its so safe anymore ahaha
Somewhat surprised that you didn’t meant how beautiful the nature is with the country consisting of different islands with all beaches. Being from Skåne I have no problem to admit that I prefer Denmark to the rest of Sweden. But Skåne once referred to as ”the jewel in the Danish crown” before it was lost to Sweden is according to me equally beautiful together with some more shifting landscape. If you still are in Denmark towards Summer 2021. Take the Ferry from Helsingör to Helsingborg and then bike on Kattegattleden along the coast to Båstad. I think even danes who has done that can admit that this part of earlier Denmark but now Sweden is very beautiful. For me the the best thing with Denmark compared with Sweden is the different mentality which according to me is more laid back and liberal. According to me we have some of that mindset in Skåne also compared with other parts of Sweden. Also both the politics and the economy in Denmark has been much more well managed in Denmark compared with Sweden for the last 30-35 years. For instance an average Danish family today has about 1500 EUR more to spend per month than an average Swedish family.
Dude they have the Grand Canyon, i dont think we can say our nature is interresting, its flat and fieldy.. thats it. 1500€ im supriced if thats true, maybe people think about what they can afford to live in and what they can do without. Ive heard tales about swedes that prefer to get a very nice car and live on oatmeal etc for a long while.
This is hillarious to watch. Du er god til at udtale!
You are so kind. Tak! 😉
Denmark is the best country in the world!🥳🎊.
Great pronunciation.
i died when she tried to say frikadeller!😂
🌷🦋🙏🏼🦋🌷Thank you so much for your kind words about my country,🌷🤲🏼🦋🌸🦋🌸🦋🌸🦋🌸🦋

spurgt Amber
Hvis du bor i Danmark giver det god mening at du kan tale dansk
Super gammel video der er blevet uploaded igen
Og!
Thanks. :-)
Have you ever been to Vallensbæk? You should go!
My family immigrated from France and Germany to Denmark 200 years ago
Danish people go brrrrr
The guld, Gud comment is spot on 👍
we have also invented lego and toms candy and most disney movies like the little mermaid actually come from a danish history denmark has made so many things we were also proud vikings there is so much about denmark and it is amazing.
This is so accurate
When we lock our doors it’s because we’re not home or because it’s nights and we want to sleep without thinking about Who could come in
think most people in denmark locks the door.. almost every family have a car. and there are anlot of places you cant walk because of criminals, specialy in the big cities
Well done on the pronounciation of the Danish r. Cudos.
Thaks.
Tak
There's one common problem that tourists or foreigners do when they come to Denmark.
They visit Copenhagen and think "so this is how danes eat, drink and live". No, that's how the "hippie danes" are eating, drinking and living, not the COMMON dane.
If you want to know how danes live, visit any other place than Copenhagen. Sure, Copenhagen is great with Tivoli, pølsevogne and bakeries, but the real danish food is as you said "mormor mad".
There are many many places in Copenhagen that makes Great Danish 'mormor' food:-) Just dont go to the tourist districts ;-)
You are wellcome!
as a dane its fun to watch this.
if u re Dane or just living in Denmark then i'm jealous of u, if i'll be lucky enough i will be studying in your country but for now greetings from Poland LMAOOOO
and if someone has some tips on how to learn danish feel free to answer cos im struggling so hard for 2 months and still can only say a few easy sentences:((
Oh.. I don't know what to say! It's a hard language! My only advice is to get over here, and maybe live with a danish family or something, so you have the language "next to you" all the time, and then just try and try! ♥️
But if you do, stress to the family (or friends etc), that you want to learn danish, cause most Danes will switch to English really quick when they speak to foreigners ☺️
Maybe you should come live with me! I love learning new languages, and back in the day, before kids and all that, my now husband and I visited Poland on some vacations, and I learned a little bit Polish (very little, but it was really interesting! 😄).
..Okay I can't really offer you that! To stay with us 😉☺️ But it would be a great experience, though ☺️🤩👍
For how long did you live in Denmark?
Everything you say is so true btw im danish
Well - The danes do have cars. Perhaps not in Copenhagen or Aarhus. We are living in Herning. An we do defently have a car. PS - I do speek danish with a american woman two times a week. She comes from Georgia and are living in Aarhus.
Every point can be applied to any country in Europe ... With different styles
I enjoyed the video, but if you go outside Copenhagen to the rest of Zealand, Funen and Jutland, there are a lot of cars. I don't understand why the picture of the video says DNK Vs. USA. It is DK for Denmark (official Kingdom of Denmark) and the abbreviation of our currency is DKK (the Danish krone).
Norway Denmark Sveeden and Island have the same history we are brothers
She seems really Nice
I would recommend just asking the Dane you are talking to, if you could speak Danish together, because you are still trying to learn.
Hahahhah died laughing watching omg
Jeg er dansker 😂
Moh moh mad, no serious you have great pronunciation
Sup, I am danish
We have Danish food here in the UK. It's called bacon.real bacon with real meat in it.not streaky and fatty like in America.
I have to say, as a Dane that you would have to go to the outskirts of Denmark to experience not locking any door. We are a very happy people, but every country aren't perfect...
Its only in Big Citys people dont use cars, cause when the roads is too besy theres no Reason to take the car when you will get there faster by Bicycle.
❤️
I'm from denmark
hjul (wheel) and jul (christmas) are pronounced exactly the same... :)
The explanation is, as always, less diversity.
Denmark is a little land but people are close. Handball is a big deal in Denmark. Denmark is a Beautifully Country.
im frome denmark
I'm danish and there are no homeless
Der er over 6000 hjemløse i Danmark, ;-) Tjek inden du taler ;-)
wao love you.
I kom from denmark🇩🇰
Wonder how many foreign people waching this 🤣
Yeah, she's right about a lot of things, but it's obvious that she never really stayed anywhere other than the bigger cities (I'm guessing copenhagen). Life is very different in other places. In the country-side, people do have cars, because not everything is close-by. I'm a bit tired of seeing people who think that Denmark is only copenhagen; although I guess it's the same with, like, France and Paris and other places
👍
