Danish is mandatory in schools on Iceland.. so she's faking that one.

@@Gizmoand23 when a danish person starts to talk somewhat fast, there is no way im gonna know for sure what he is saying. Im Norwegian btw

In Oslo they speak Danish though (although with a West-Swedish accent)

@JessikaEmerald Bokmål is re-branded Danish as spoken by a Swede with some bits of Norwegian reluctantly included. Although in Oslo I guess a lot is swapped for English words instead "jæi blir sååå emotional assåå!"

@@Crambeu Gaelic is indo-european at least (like Persian + Hindi) but Finnish is just Alien. Closest to Eestonian and far related to Hungarian. Has its roots somewhere in Sibiria, but not in Europe.

It actually means "Driving" ...

Klab Han kjører=he drives or he is driving, but in Norwegian we dont use the last form.

​@@andreass6710 He just said "Kjører" which directly translates to "Driving" in Norway we can use "Han kjører" or depends on what it subjects to, "Han kjører"means in english is "He's Driving". "He is driving" is something that your doing right now. "He's Driving" is something that he'll be doing. Like he'll be driving to Swedan. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to prove? I'm Norwegian and i got a pretty good hand on English aswell.

Same. I've tried learning German and Norwegian in the past through what I could on the Internet. Right now, I'm mostly trying to learn Norwegian but I still try to play video games in German when I feel like it, which is pretty much once every 4 months or something lol. Because of this, I could understand a lot of her words. For instance, for the word "kommer," I realised what it meant in German, even though it already sounds very similar to "come" and English is my first language, and so I understood what the sentence meant. In the end, not having ever been to Germany or any Northern country, I still managed to understand 2 sentences fully and many partially, which is still pretty good

I think danish is the easiet to pronounce of the scandinavian languagues for a german bc german is throathy maybe not in the Danish level .... but Throathy enough

40 % of the Danish vocab is derived from Plattdeutsch! ... That is why we who speak Swedish have a hard time understanding spoken danish .... Ofc grammar and the rest of the language is 95 % the same as swedish ...

Well it's like Slavic but easier/harder, For a Swe/Nor/Den it's harder to understand Icelandic and Faroeic, while it's pretty much easy for us to understand Swe/Nor/Den, the opposite goes for the Icelandic and Faroeic. Finnish isn't in the same language family so it's not related at all. And you Slavs have it easy, because you don't really have to deal with thousands of different dialects making it near impossible to understand each other. The 5 Nordic languages are easy to understand, it's the dialects that's difficult. I can open my mouth and I can promise you that no one from the 5 Nordic countries selected at random would understand me. And that's the power of dialects. If I say yvon literally no one understands me, in Danish that word would be øgon, Swedish ögon, Norwegian øgon, Icelandic augu Faroe augu. Oh the word is Eyes in English. My dialect is ancient compared to the 5 languages so it's explainable.

The Major It doesn’t sound like you’re a Slav, if you were you would know that there are many many many dialects thanks to the many isolated villages on the constantly shifting borders of countries.

de förstår varandra bättre

@@livedandletdie Nonsense. Just us southern slavs have DOZENS of dialects and accents. I mean fuck, in my country of Croatia we have three different dialects and tons of different mixes and variations.

just be VERY careful around the Croats and Serbs when pointing out its the same damn language, using different alphabets and just some regional variation (hell there;s more difference between Serbia and Montengero, than between Serbia and Hrvatska) :P

Yeah well, they both belong to the same family of Germanic languages and have a lot similar words.

well denmark is to england what england is to usa. so it is basically a heavy dialect.

I have 8 years of watching Melfest (and some other things) on SVT to thank for me beginning to get a handle on Swedish. THough how in hell that "Sjo" type word as written became the sound of hacking up phlegm from one's throat is beyond me...

@@ZakhadWOW "Sjö". If you are pronounciate this word in Swedish spoken in Finland, it will be more easy and we in Sweden will understand you completly. The "Ö" is quite similar to the "I" in Bird or "Ea" in Earth. 🙂 O is a totally different letter with a different sound. 🙂 Actually, the most difficult letters for native speakers to pronounciate properly would be the "R" which in standard Swedish and Finnish Swedish are rolled, but not in the southern part of Sweden. Two vowels that can be tricky as well is "U" and "Y". The rest you will manage to pronounciate, even the long and short "Ö-sound". Å= Saw or Awesome (Aw sound)(British accent). The short sound is like, "o" in "Top" or "Pop" in british english. Ä= Is like "a" in "Cat" or "Bad". The short "ä" is similar to the short "e" and in some parts of Sweden it's pronounced the same. 🙂😉 Good luck!

Icelandic is not even close to being one of the hardest languages ever, it’s just a bit harder to read than Norwegian, which is one of the easiest languages ever - Dutch & English are the easiest languages in the world, and then Norwegian is very close to English, and the grammar is even easier in Norwegian (while the sentence structure is easier in English, and then Norwegian, and then Dutch sentence structure, which may seem kinda difficult at first, but it really isn’t that difficult, especially after getting to an advanced level, it becomes very intuitive and at this point I just know if the word order doesn’t feel right) and, then it would be Swedish, and then Old Norse (which is actually way more refined than Modern Icelandic, so it’s easier to read) and then Danish (it’s easy to understand written Danish, but it’s not easy to understand spoken Danish, so understanding spoken Icelandic and Faroese is actually easier than understanding spoken Danish, but reading Danish and spelling Danish is easier than reading and spelling Icelandic & Faroese) and, then it would be Icelandic & Faroese, and then German, which is actually more difficult to read and write than Icelandic & Faroese due to having so many consonants and groups of consonants and silent letters etc, and then the Frisian languages maybe, but maybe they are easier than German, actually, but I don’t know much about them yet, tho they are all on my list of languages I want to learn and improve, while Old English is the most difficult Germanic language because it’s the most unrefined-looking Germanic language and that makes it extremely difficult to read and remember the words, so I am learning it and the other more difficult languages little by little, while prioritizing the easier ones first (and Afrikaans is very easy, just as Dutch, but the pronunciation would be more difficult than Norwegian, but it’s still one of the easiest languages in the world and one of the easiest Germanic languages, which a very simple grammar like Norwegian, tho some of it is not correct, so it’s not as logical as Dutch anymore, because some parts have been modified in an incorrect way, tho I use my own version of the words that I made up according to the logical rules, like, I use wy instead of ons when saying we because ons means us technically, and a few other similar words) and, Spanish / Italian / Esperanto are the easiest Latin languages and are almost as easy as English / Dutch / Norwegian, and then Welsh & Breton, which are the easiest Celtic languages, and overall, German languages are the easiest ever, then Latin languages, which are almost as easy as Germanic languages, and then Celtic languages!

Besides, all the Nordic languages will seem very easy once one learns at least one of them at least to an intermediate level, then all others will seem easy as well - I started with the easiest Nordic languages, which are Norwegian & Swedish, and am intermediate level in these 2, knowing about 3.500 words, and am advanced level in Dutch (over 8.000 base words) which also shares a lot of similarities and words that come from the same roots that are still similar enough to figure out what they mean, and now all of them seem so easy, and am regularly learning new words in all of them, while also prioritizing the easiest ones to get to an advanced level fast!

The SJ / SKJ etc in Swedish can simply be pronounced as a normal soft SH sound or as a normal soft H sound - everyone should pronounce them this way, as it sounds way better and more refined!

By the way, french is to the romance languages what icelandic is to nordic languages, still kinda understandable but totally weirdly different like wtf

Et quand les Espagnols ou les Italiens essaient de lire le français, ils se disent "Mais dans quoi me j'me suis embarqué...". On partage des sons qui n'existent pas (ou presque) dans les autres langues romanes (an, in, on, un - qui existent en portugais, et eu, u, qui existent dans les langues germaniques... haha).

@@ynntari2775 I would say, French is to Romance languages what Danish is to Scandinavian languages, because of the weird pronounciation.

Lucy LUCA eu consigo entender um pouco do que você escreveu, tem palavras similares sim. E você consegue entender o que estou escrevendo ?. Realmente, francês é a língua latina que menos entendo, principalmente por causa da pronúncia, mas na gramática acho parecido com as outras línguas latinas.

What, how? :O I'm danish and had german in school. I think it's very different :P

They are all germanic languages, not only from the same family (indo-european) but also from the same group (germanic), although ("although", is that how it's written?) german would be a "south-germanic" language. You can see the parallels, like a lot of "i"s from north germanic becoming "ai" sounds in south germanic languages. Look to "IS" (or ÍS in icelandic), it just turns into EIS in german, IJS in dutch and ICE in english, all with the same "ais" sound. Also a lot of "ooh" sounds becomes "au" sounds from north to south, like in "HUS" or "HÚS" becoming "HAUS", "HUIS" and "HOUSE", all pronounced the same. So even the differences follows easy to understand patterns.

And when it comes to grammar Icelandic and German has retained a lot of shared stuff like three genders and four cases that most other Germanic languages has gotten rid of

@@tetea7257 If you take a very close look at words, grammar and the the origin of cognates, then yes, both are similar. To be more accurate: It is very easy for any Germanic speaker, to learn any Germanic language due to high number of shared vocabulary, similar grammar and syntax. Even many basic words are Germanic: to have (English) = ha (Norwegian) = haben (German) = hebben (Dutch) = hawwe (Frisian) = hafa (Icelandic) Keep also in mind that there are Old Norse words in northern German dialects: Trousers: Buxe (Northern German) = bukser (Danish) = byxor (Swedish) = bukse (Norwegian) = buxur (Icelandic)

I had no idea there was old norse in northern Germany dialects :O

Yes, I think there's a place or few places in Sogn where a particular dialect is VERY similar to Icelandic and/or Old Norse.

@@Nghilifa That would be my dialect. It's the ones from Inner Sogn that are most like Icelandinc

@@AvengerofGallifrey Nice, where in Sogn are you from? I've relatives in Sogndal, or Sogndaool (LOL).

@@AvengerofGallifrey I know you may not see this, but i am just curious is it true there is a dialect in norway that still uses 'ð', i heard it might be around sogn og fjordane. And alot of the western dialects really inspire me as a norwegian learner who primarily uses nynorsk.

That could be because they all are direct relatives of the vikings who sailed out of fjords from western Norge shores and it's safe to assume that after occupying those islands they kept some distant contact occasionally. This is very probable assumption, since history shows that other vikings like from Danish area (incl southern Norwegian coast) were more interested in England/Scotland and Ireland apparently. Whilst Swede vikings went east, penetrating Slavic lands deep - all the way to the shores of Black/Caspian seas and from there beyond to Byzantine/Samarkand.
