101 Facts About Denmark 

im a simple dane, i see denmark i click.

Hearing English speakers try to pronounce "Hygge" is hilarious every time.

Fun Fact: Danish people love watching stuff about themselves

You forgot that Denmark one of the smallest countries in the world, have the worlds largest shipping company.

Handball is actually a Danish invention, like American football is American, handball was actually first invented in good old Denmark.

If you wanna try what "Hygge" is about, try this. On a cold night, sit down on the couch with friends or family, turn off the lights and light some candlelights on your coffee table, wrap yourself in a blanket and sip a cup of tea, or whatever you fancy, maybe even have a few snacks nearby to munch on and maybe watch some TV. It's an amazing feeling.

Him trying to pronounce “Leg Godt”: Leee gdtt

i feel a nationalistic urge as a dane to point out that when the british attacked Copenhagen during the napolionic wars they *WERE* actually retreating from the far supirior danish fleet and only won because we didnt think they could break through so when ONE of their admirals saw a gap and used it to get on land we werent prepared and got massacered XD

I've never heard a person pronounce Tivoli like that lmfao

I see denmark in the title, i click, i see, im just another normal dane

Good video, but there is a lot more to Denmark than "just" Copenhagen.

Fun fact: When Sweden played Denmark in the recent Handball World Cup final, on the scoreboard it said SWE - DEN, with the remaining letters from each country being DEN - MARK!

i love how hard it is to understand what sam is saying when he tries to say danish words or names.

Proof of good education in Denmark: I am 17 years old and about average in history class. I knew 96 of these facts.

We Got metioned by outsiders

You forgot about danish disign and architecture, like the operahouse in Sydney

Nice list Even if I had a bit of trouble understanding some of those pronunciations of our words ;) Can't believe there wasn't a single point on this list mentioning Aqua or Barbie Girl. Also, Copenhagen houses THE oldest comic book store in the whole world, "Fantask" which is turning 50 years old next year. Last year, the place was on the edge of closing it's doors actually but a huge crowdfunding campaign raised almost $90,000 to help them stay afloat. Denmark was also THE first country to legalize the sale of pornographic content and we were also the first country to legalize gay marriage. And for many Europeans growing up in the '90s, you might remember a television show where you could call in to play a computer game called Hugo via the buttons on your phone. That character and the whole concept also originated from the Danish company "Silverrocks Studio" The Unity engine that is used by many developers to create video games these days also have its roots in Denmark. Also, in Denmark, we like to think that Santa Clause lives on Greenland and not the North Pole. Santa Clause danish name is "Julemanden" which directly translates to "The Christmas Man" We also celebrate Christmas on Dec 24th and usually opens up presents after the Christmas dinner. Most Danes prefer Duck or Pork with rinds while a few prefer ham. As long as the potatoes and gravy are there.

Best butter cookies in the world! Love Copenhagen!

I just want to say that the Danish population is a little bit more than 5 million. Like just about 800 k people more

You forget about the the Old city in. Aarhus

Hygge is that feeling when you are doing something really nice, eating something tasty, or having a nice time with family or friends, where you get like a tickle, or a warm fuzzy feeling deep down in the stomack. To do something "hyggeligt" is doing anything that gives you that fuzzy feeling...

Fun fact about the queen, she is Denmarks first queen to officially "rule" Denmark so they wanted to change her name to Magrethe I (1) instead II (2).

In general, parking on a sidewalk is illegal here, but because some streets in certain cities are so narrow that parking next to the curb would mean that traffic wouldn't be able to pass, many bigger cities allow people to do so, with an unspoken rule that you MUST leave enough space on the sidewalk for a baby carriage to pass! So in case you vacation here and plan to drive around, you should check to see what rules apply in the areas you park in...
