I'm glad you're back Mic, your videos are of great help. I'm a romance language native speaker so Danish is quite a challenge for me even with a Danish husband lol. The way I personally manage to do the stød is by briefly contracting my abdomen so I stop the air flow. I don't know if that's correct, but it seems to help. Anybody else have better tips for that? Thanks!
@MicsLanguages2 жыл бұрын
Hi Oana! Thanks for your comment. The idea with the stomach muscles is great. I haven't thought about that, but it actually seems to help. I might use that in the future with students who have difficulties producing the stød. Another tip that I use is for stød in vowels. People generally have more difficulties with this than with consonants. Say the same vowel twice, like for example å-å. That kind of produces a stød after the first vowel , at least a slight one. Then eliminate the second vowel. Then try to identify/feel what it is you are doing when you say that stod, and learn to intensify it. I hope this helps 😉
@samcousins32042 жыл бұрын
@@MicsLanguages love that explanation, with å-å! People tend to talk about how English has stød in the word "uh-oh" - but they forget that when we pronounce vowels on their own, we use a glottal stop as a consonant at the beginning. Cool! :)

Great video, Mic! Thank you :)The stød and no stød modes remind me a bit of the Chinese tones (stød being a bit like the fourth Chinese tone and no stød being a bit like the second Chinese tone).

As you mentioned in the other video, comparing the melody between words with and without the stød is a great way to train yourself to know when it's there. Great video!! P.S.: will you make videos with longer dialogues at some point? I'd love to do some listening training with whole conversations!
@MicsLanguages2 жыл бұрын
Good to hear that you now have a plan as to how to learn to hear the stød. Regarding videos with longer dialogues, I might do that at some point. I have created dialogues that I use with my private students, maybe I'll put some of them online at some point. Let me also recommend the channel dansk udtale. I don't know the guy from the channel, but the videos are really good. He has a lot of dialogues: kzfaq.info/sun/PLk6g9tySafar_Zbj-93nFFzW4GnKsjM1c

Danish consonant shift is the key to understand what had happened to Proto-Germanics phonetics in its early history. I wonder why the famous germanists like Brüder Grimm didn't adopt it
@FrozenMermaid6663 ай бұрын
There is no shift, technically, as each language was created by a dude by modifying a previous language or multiple previous languages, so the new pronunciation rules of the newer language were decided by its creator, and they were changed to fit the new language with the new spelling rules and the new letter combinations and the new word endings etc, and didn’t ‘shift’ on their own, as languages don’t change and don’t appear on their own, which wouldn’t even be possible, as each language has an elaborate grammar and specific spelling rules etc which are the creation of some dude that sat there and went though tens of thousands of words and modified their spelling rules, and, modifying the spelling rules of a language automatically creates a new language, but the previous languages are still there (they should be brought back, especially the ancient Germanic languages and the other versions of the Celtic languages) and one can learn many of them, especially most ancient Germanic languages and maybe Óld Irish etc, which can be learnt fluently, because there are enough resources or enough words in their dictionaries, and, Proto Germanic was made by a dude by modifying mostly Latin words and creating new words based on the new spelling rules that he’d set, so Germanic languages come from Latin in a way, and, in very indirect ways all languages come from the first language ever created Proto European which is the first actual language with grammar and thousands of words that a dude of germanic origin created from scratch about ten thousand years ago together with the first writing system ever, which inspired all other languages and writing systems that exist today, either directly or indirectly, but mostly indirectly, as newer languages were created by modifying previous languages that were still spoken and used at that time, when each newer language was made! So all languages are kinda related in very indirect and distant ways, and the European languages are more closely related, as most of them come mostly from Latin, including the modern Celtic languages and the Germanic languages and the most modern Slavic languages like Slovene and Latvian which were influenced mostly by Latin languages and Germanic languages, including the Modern ones and their Middle versions and their Óld versions, and Latin and Proto Slavic might have come from Ancient Greek or some other Greek-based language, and Celtiberian came from Ancient Greek, though the true Celtic languages only started getting the typical Celtic aspect after they started getting more and more influence from Latin and Norse and English etc, and Gaulish was also more Latin than Celtic, so Gaulish is more like between pre-Celtic and Celtic and Latin, whereas Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic and their Middle versions and their Óld versions are Celtic, and most words in Germanic languages and Celtic languages and Latin languages are actually cognates, but most cognates are used with different meanings and many of them were modified a lot in Celtic languages and they aren’t obvious cognates anymore, so it’s not always easy to find the cognates, but I have found tons of cognates so far, as I am learning all these languages! Norse also seems to have extra Latin word endings like inum / um / num / ar / is etc that I am not sure if I’ve seen before in Proto Germanic, so it may have had extra influences from Latin, as it gives off strong Latin vibes, and English comes mostly from Norse, and Norwegian / Danish / Icelandic / Faroese / Swedish etc also come from Norse, and Dutch and Gothic and Welsh etc also have a lot of Norse influences, either directly, or indirectly, though other languages like English / Irish / Gaelic etc, especially Welsh, which sounds like a mix of Dutch and Norse, and these languages all have that cool and modern and unique sound like English, and a super refined aspect and sound, which is usually associated with Norse languages like Norse and Icelandic and English, so, all the prettiest languages ever Norse / Gothic / Icelandic / Faroese / English / Dutch / Norwegian / Danish / Welsh / Breton / Cornish are either a Norse language or a mostly Norse language or influenced a lot by Norse, and this makes sense, because Norse is one of the greatest works of art of all time, being perfect or almost perfect, so it inspired the other prettiest languages, which wouldn’t exist and wouldn’t be as perfect and as refined and as poetic etc as they are without the Norse influences!

Danish sounds so cool, but the Danish accent is not easy to imitate as a beginner, same as the German accent which is even harder to imitate - the Norse / Gothic / Icelandic / Dutch accents, on the other hand, are the easiest to imitate, as easy as the neutral American accent in English, so I could sound native in these languages even at a beginner level, though I am now advanced level in Icelandic and upper advanced level in Dutch and upper intermediate level in Norse, and, I am beginner level in Danish and Faroese at the moment, so my Danish accent doesn’t sound right yet, but I am trying to practice to get the right accent!

hvide is not the plural form. It is the e-form. The plural uses the e-form of the adjective, but this doesn't mean that the e-form is the plural form. The e-form is also used in the case of definite article + adjective. The white car = den hvide bil The white house = det hvide hus

Part 2, and it's shaping up to be a great mini-series! You know what the dictionary doesn't have? Place names. Stød or not? Vangede? Amager? Or my favourite (because it contains so many weird Danish sounds): Avedøre. (Sorry, those are all very Kbh-centric.)
@MicsLanguages2 жыл бұрын
I'm glad you like the series so far :) And yeah, you're right about ddo not having place names. That's a bit annoying. Being CPH-centric is perfect for me, that's the place I've lived most years of my life. None of the places you mention have any stød. In case you couldn't figure it out. It's difficult to identify the stød for many people. If you ask a "normal" Dane on the street if a certain word has stød, they mostly won't be able to say it, even though they of course pronounce the words correctly. Working so intensely with my native language makes me understand lots of cool things about it. I find it super interesting :)
@pragmatastic2 жыл бұрын
@@MicsLanguages Didn't think Avedøre had one. Wasn't sure about Vangede. Thought I might have heard it with Amager, but probably just confusing it with the elongated final vowel! ;-) I've heard Danes speaking of other Danes overusing the stød - mainly some Copenhageners, from what I can tell. I'm not even sure of how that might be the case in terms of regular patterns. I have no idea if there's any research on that, or if it's just people thinking that they notice it because they're aware that it might be something that occurs.
@MicsLanguages2 жыл бұрын
Hmm, thinking about it, now I'm actually not 100 percent sure about Amager anymore. There might actually be stød in end. Maybe it depends on how we pronounce the ending. But we can say it like the word "klar", in which case it has stød. We can also say it with a longer vowel, like in "klare", in which case it doesn't have stød.
@MicsLanguages2 жыл бұрын
And there definitely are some regions in Sjælland where people would "overuse" the stød. I'm not really a specialist on dialects unfortunately, so can't say exactly where that would be the case 😕
