That's my go to for similarity.
- timc3 14y agoThere are plenty of examples that are not similar as well. But I thank you for reminding me for hygge/fika.
- Gmo 14y agoWell, your Danish looks like Dutch to me ;) As a matter of fact, people here in NL say regularly that Danish and Dutch are 2 close languages. I'm pretty sure Dutch is not considered a Scandinavian language though.
- upinsmoke 14y agoDutch is much closer to German to us (Danes) than Danish.
- oellegaard 14y agoJust for the record, the weird looking "Jeg", which is very different than e.g. "Ich" (German) or "Ik" (correct me if I'm wrong, in Dutch). Jeg is pronounced something like e-I - much closer to English "I".
