10 Shocking Things About DENMARK That You've Never Heard Before! 

The worst thing about living in Denmark is that Sweden is so close to us. #RemoveØresundbroen #DenySwedesToDenmark #JävlaSvenska

@@drueckglueck9918what do you mean!?

it also luxury for us danes to come to sweden

@@denully its a common joke in denmark, to talk shit about sweden

​@@memesfor1bean202 same in finland

And the oldest living monarchy

​@@thefubar3857That is not entirely true, even tho we would like to take that title as well. No Japan has that record.

And please don't forget Maersk Carlsberg, Grundfos, and thousands of other famous brands known worldwide.

after reading the danes' comments (am one myself), one could add that danes are among the absolute most zealous.

Is it a fact, tat Japan is a monarchy?@@oscarjrgensen190

We're happy to have you 😃

@@CountPenta exactly my words😊

How are you danish if you are not born there 😂😂😂 aint noway

@@jihadiijoe If you live there for more then 3+ years you're a dane... dont have to be born there as long as you follow the law and rules we don't have problems...

@@ExGoFX who made that rule thats not how it works 😂😂😂

Love from Denmark 😅❤

Sadly that will never happen.

There is no one single scandinavian country. There are 3 scandinavian countries.

Low from Denmark 🇩🇰 ❤

Hehe complaining about stuff can almost be considered a national passtime here 😂

To be fair, our Weather is mid at best

Det er forår!

we have to

As a fellow dane i fully support what was said, As a newborn i was in and out of hospital for the first 3 years, my parents would have been financially ruined if they lived in a place like the US.

It's scary as F..., just the sheer amount new laws, their already passed, sindsygt, it's only just begun. I've read half of their law folketinget 23-24, sad, but it's not that dystopia'ish,. Vores fremtidige Danmark afhænger af os folket, hvis de prøver på at sælge Dannebrog, som sker mere og mere omkring os. Her på Bornholm, eller Energi Ø Bornholm, kæmpe joke. Men stadig har vi et fantastisk land, vores grundlov skal bevares og pilles ved. Nok om det, Nyder i jule sneen på "fastlandet"😊. Glædelig jul, til jer allesammen 🎅skulle hilse fra Krølebølle👋 bye bye

trust in the government, 😂😂😂😂

@@koikanalen Apparently, that's not to your liking. That's ok. I know I never have to worry about hospital bills or getting an education. Children can play in in the streets without the risk of getting abducted and my children do not go through shooter drills at school. I value that kind of trust. If you don't, that's ok.

Can you spot the two obvious inaccurate facts in this video? 😉

In the early 13th century, the Danish king Valdemar Sejr (Valdemar the Victorious) led his army on a crusade in present-day Estonia. During a The Battle of Lyndanisse or Lindanise (now Tallinn, Estonia) on June 15, 1219, the Danes were on the defensive when suddenly a red banner with a white cross fell from the sky. As a result, the luck changed, the Danish army won, and Denmark got its flag

@@sandermitt The king got his flag, it took many 100 years before that flag became the national flag.

@@sandermitt That's a myth, not historical fact.

The flag found and brought home most likely was a German Crusaders flag, as they fought close by, as also named in Malta, with a very similar Crusaders Flag now being used as theirs! The original flag is kept in a now German Church, south of the Border and it of course looks very much different from the present used flags! But it is a nice and very convincing story!!!!

1219*

"Facts". There's a bunch of them that aren't half right, or even close to it

Wow, thank you for that mental image 😂

Yeah im guessing its an AI voice. Maybe also an AI script.

And I am danish and worked in Equatorial Guinea. The Capital used to be on the mainland but due to risk of invation from Nigeria and Cameroon they moved the Capital to Bioko.

@@keeprocking1977 Det er meget sjovt at læse det. Der er ikke så mange Dansker ellers der kender til Ækvatorialguinea!

true.. kender vist heller ikke andre end dem jeg arbejdede med dernede dengang. @@hassanalihusseini1717

Funny observation. But then, the continental part of E.Q., Rio Muni, is, I think, a very backward place, and the oil is around Bioko. Sad that the life-long president is another stereotype of African dictators, pocket most of the national income for his family, incl. his jetset son. Years ago, hosting the OAU meeting he bought a 100 black Mercedes to transport each of the other presidents the short distance from the airport to Malabo. While the ordinary people were scavenging the roadside.

Og de kalder Sjælland stadig for Zealand og Seeland...

Yeah instead he forgot to mention that Denmark has the world highest sea population (per capita) and also the world's highest CO2 Polution (per capita) including Maersk. Also Denmark is the country in the whole world which is worst in nature protection- with only 0,00001 percent wild nature left. So Denmark is a real shit country- full of pig shit

Som om ingen havde hørt om lego var fra danmark før altså, kuk kuk mester youtuber

Well, but 25% of the population lives in Copenhagen..

No, only about 40% live in Jutland

Jylland is not an island. It is the continental part of Denmark which shares border with Germany.

Actually Fyn is only the third largest Island. Sekund largest is Nørrejyske Ø

Du må være jyde.

i hope u get to see more of Denmark than just a city... in the very North of Jutland, in Skagen, u can see 2 seas with different colours meet, but not mix, and stand with 1 foot in each... in Århus, 2nd largest city in Denmark, there's an open air museum, called Den Gamle By (The Old Town) with people and all... a little outside of the Capital Copenhagen, u can go to the oldest amusement park in the world, Bakken, that has a lot of charm to it, and so is the amusement park Tivoli, which is in the Capital, and is the 3rd oldest in the world...

We'd love to have you^^ Visit Vejle beautiful city, and take the bus(30 mins) to Legoland. I would HIGLY recommend using a day at LEGOhouse, It's really worth it.

Summer is the time to be here, hope you are lucky with the weather. Do remember, get the hell out of Copenhagen as soon as you can.

@@pliashmuldba I have to ask why I live in Copenhagen and I love it so much each and every day

​​@@spyro257can't forget, well, the entirity of Billund

It's funny when you consider the fact, that the rest of Denmark makes fun of Copenhagen for being reserve svenskere.

The top of the Rø transmitter is 431.2 meters above sea level and is thus Denmark's highest fixed point

The Worldfamous LEGO brick is NOT a LEGO invention - it was developed by the English Company “Kiddicraft”. LEGO got the permission to also produce them, and started this in 1949 changing thesize of the bricks to fit the metric dyste. In 1981 LEGO bought the rights from Kiddycraft. The LEGO brick is identical to the Kiddycraft Brinck - even the colours, and boxes they were sold in were identical. LEGO never themselves published this truth about the origin of the brick..

You needed this video to be happy about being born here?

You also have a lot of crime (as in a LOT) you talk backwards, and you don't own a continent which would make aforementioned islands in question look incredibly small in comparison. Even if you added twice or even three times the amount. I don't like Sweden, but I will hand it to you Johnny, your landscapes are breathtaking.

@@Aberrantly I don't know what I wrote that was related to crime, but look at the numbers. It's a lot if you compare it with maybe Norway or something, but it's almost nothing compared to the US, for instance (even when population is taken into account, which it usually is). The rest of what you wrote I didn't understand at all. I'm not sure why I would own a continent, so maybe I just don't understand the language well enough. I'm not a native English speaker, obviously.

@@johnnyrosenberg9522 You didn't write (type, technically) anything that was related to crime per se, I just used it as an example of something that makes Sweden a little less great than Denmark (even if taking population differences into account) As for owning a continent, that was just my way of bragging of how much bigger the Danish monarchy technically is compared to Sweden and all of its smaller islands.

My paternal Grandmother was swedish, and she lived in Elsinore (Denmark), so every time we spent a holiday with her at least a couple of Weeks twice a year, we often went on day trips to Helsingborg (Sweden) just across the strait (25 minuttes by ferry). I loved going to Sweden as a kid and a teen, and the landscapes in Sweden are more breathtaking than the Danish. We sometimes rented a cottage in Sweden for a week during summer time. I also liked that many decades before EU was even invented, Denmark, Sweden and Norway formed a union and we trusted each other to a degree that you didn't even had to bring your passport to cross the borders between those countries. It was also always possible for citizens from any of the three Scandinavian countries to settle down and live and/or work in one of the neighbouring countries and students of the Nordic univeristies could roam freely between Denmark, Sweden a d Norway having one of the best exchange student programs. I remember at some stage almost 40 percent of medicine students in Danish universitets were from Sweden. I've always felt a strong bond to my fellow Scandinavian brothers and sisters, and love the fact that we for the most part understand each others languages. It has always during World championships like football or handball been a natural thing to cheer for one of the other Scandinavian countries' national teams if, for example, our own dropped out of the quarter or semi-finals.

​@@AberrantlyWell, I guess we could argue back and forth like forever about what is best. 🤪 Just to be very clear, the ”bragging” part of what I wrote in my first comment was meant as a friendly joke between neighbours and the purpose wasn't to start a debate or anything like that. 👍

haha thats a good one i have been there servel times an yes maybe is a flat road but your are never wrong aboudt the Beer hehe

Tell me only one place where you can’t drink beer 😂

@@HughLeDuc I can tell you plenty - but let's just go full tilt right off the bat: A mosque in Iran. Anyway 😀 - the point is it's a very nice place to have a beer. Like actual "hygge". The Danish word which you can't really translate to English. It's a sort of version of "cozy" - however just - MORE!

@@Craider79 we speak of Denmark, though. Forget about Asia.

@@HughLeDuc The point I was making is that it's a really nice place be - and especially on a warm spring day it is absolutely beautiful and serene. Just a great day out having a walk up the "mountain" with friends/family. Everyone from Denmark was there to experience that - while the guy from Norway thought he was going on a mountain expedition! Not trying to say other places aren't nice or anything. I've never had a bad time there - and I've probably been there - or in that area at least 100 times.

That's because this 'fact' is highly misleading. Most of Europe the water is drinkable straight from the tap. TGhe 'fact' as presented implies that Denmark is unusual. In this respect its just like the rest of Europe.

I am shocked, did it really fell down from the sky ?

@@user-dq1hq4of6o Yes. According to legend, the first ever copy of the red-white flag fell directly from the sky during a battle in Estonia 15 June 1219 between Christian Danes and pagan Estonians. It was a miracle, a sign from God that the Danes would be victorious.

That is like determining broken bones based on how many MRI scans a country does. According to those data Africans never break their legs

Yes and he forgot to mention that Denmark has the world highest sea population (per capita) and also the world's highest CO2 Polution (per capita) including Maersk. Also Denmark is the country in the whole world which is worst in nature protection- with only 0,00001 percent wild nature left. So Denmark is a real shit country- full of pig shit

Not to argue too much with that fact, but i imagine those rankings would look a LOT different if everywhere had Anti-depressants as readily avaliable and affortable as we have (with a doctors perscription ofc) Fairly certain North Korea would top that list fairly quick then.

That’s why we are so happy lol

​@@tomschmidt5022.. affordable?? .. The visit to the doctor is free ( prepared by your tax) but you have to pay for you meds at the farmacy.. allot of elderly people and those who love on Denmarks famous welfare system, and only receives Moby from the state cant afford to buy there prescription medicines at the farmacy.. So the majority of the people i know how have a chronic deacise is not getting the right treatment... This cost lives- A simple illness as asthma is suddenly Deadly

Did he leave Denmark because of the tax system ? Ha Ha

@@user-dq1hq4of6o I don’t know sorry

Denmark does not own Greenland. Just ask the peoble in Greenland. Even Donald Trump knows it now

@@user-dq1hq4of6o "In the early 17th century, Dano-Norwegian explorers reached Greenland again. When Denmark and Norway separated in 1814, Greenland was transferred to the Danish crown, and was fully integrated in the Danish state in 1953 under the Constitution of Denmark, which made the people in Greenland citizens of Denmark."

@@user-dq1hq4of6o Denmark does in fact own Greenland, and the real reason why America hesitated with their offer, was (other than it being far lower than what Greenland is worth) the tragicomic fact that America is $1,7 trillion in debt. Denmark and Greenland wants little to do with the laughing stock of the world, and can you really blame them?

@@Aberrantly Greenland is owned by the peoble of Greenland. Greenland is not a part of Denmark, they have their oven parliment and flag, but they share the monarcy whith Denmark. Just as England does not own Scotland

@@Aberrantly Several other things had happened between Denmark and Greenland. They are no longer an "amt" or "koloni". They got home rule, have their own ministers and flag,but in foreign affairs they are common with Denmark. You can compare it to the relation between England and Scotland

.. making it available to everyone no dependent on your family’s wealth

I don’t think you can solely look at 1 thing we get for paying our high taxes. We gain more then free education plus we help people in our country so that we don’t end up like the US or other countries with big issues such as differences in economy in the households. U know poverty and stuff. Not being in dept and getting healthcare for free is a major bonus

Måske fordi det 'kun' er en halv-Ø.

Jep, han snakkede specifikt kun om øerne på det punkt… men ja jylland burde være ihvert fald omtalt

@@tomschmidt5022 Ja, selvfølgelig burde han det.

Part of the smugness of Danes too, half the population lives in the Greater Copenhagen Region and they have little knowledge of where most of their food comes from --> Jylland.

Those are the international names, and it makes sense to use them in an English-language video. Your origin of Sjælland is not correct. Den Store Danske (Lex) "Navnet Sjælland optræder ca. 950 som Selund, af gammeldansk *sial 'fure' eller dyrebetegnelsen sæl og afledningsendelsen -und."

Might be from Faroe Island and therefore kinda part of DK

Correct, that is the Faroe Islands

I stedet fik du vel sygedagpenge

jo da. det bare ikke det samme som alm løn

@@lindeermig I USA får du intet. That is what we call social security

The cityfolk idiots in "Kongsby" don't realize how far spread apart things are in Jylland and Vendsyssel.

Danish dyspepsia is more a reaction to flavorful ethnic food (compared to Danish blandness) than it is any amoebic tap water issues.

@@williamjones4716You had been 100% correct if you had said that in the 1980s, but today is it almost hard to find anything without spices. :-) But our stomach is extremely untrained in just the slightest contamination of the water. Water from the US one of the types that most Danes gets surprised when they find out that it can put us down for days.

And The Faroe Islands
