I'm danish, and a beautiful about the nordic countries (Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Norway and finland) is, that we can make extreme fun of each other, without anyone getting offended. I think it's because we have a deeply rooted national selfworth in each of the countries. And that we are peaceful towards each other, and have been for hundreds of years. We have stopped waging wars on each other a long time ago. Not to say that we have always been peaceful. Denmark and Sweden have waged NUMEROUS wars on each other, but it's over now.

My own experience with Danish English was very positive. I'm an American who loves languages but doesn't speak any Scandinavian language. Years ago I was in Copenhagen and needed to get something at the local convenience store near my hotel. So I got out my phrasebook and tried to figure out how to ask for what I wanted in Danish. (I hate the rude tourists who start speaking English to everyone, no matter what country they're in.) When I got to the store, there was a teenage guy behind the counter. As I tried out my attempt at Danish, he smiled and said, "Actually, I speak English." And we proceeded that way. The thing is, his English sounded as if he had been born a kilometer from where I live! I was astonished. I suppose it's possible he had lived abroad, but I encountered similar situations with other Danes as well. Needless to say, this level of English was not what I found in countries that speak "big" languages like France, Italy, and Germany.

I think he's speaking Finnish and only Finnish people understand Finnish. 🙂 Finnish is TOTALLY different from the other Nordic languages. It's related to Hungarian or something. But Finland has the same welfare system etc as the rest of us, and some of the Finns speak Swedish. (I'm not Finnish despite my 1st name.)

Absolutely brilliant! As a Bosnian-Herzegovinian myself, I think I can totally relate to this, given the multitude of the "Balkan" ex-YU languages, and I'm quite sure there's similar stand-up here in the region, too. I must say I rwally enjoyed watching this particularly as I have had a chance/orivilege of working with all the Nordics except for Icelanders, so hearing them speak their respective languages was like music to my ears (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish, obviously).

@@Finnec123 When you speak a language all letters and words are a combination of different sounds. Most languages uses the same 15 sounds. The Danish one has 40 sounds you combine to speak the language, which is why it's so difficult for foreigners to speak the language. They have to use sounds they've never used before. And it sounds funny to others because it's sounds they're not use to hearing.
