Christian Johansson you wrote > A swede, a norwegian and a dane walks into a bar... ___________ Well .. the Swede and the Norwegian would have lost that (drinking) battle even before they went in ..
Mads Mikkelsen is speaking swedish with a danish accent, stellan skarsgård is speaking swedish and the interviewer is speaking Norwegian :P if anyone was interested to know
@Queen_Springsteen Yes! You MUST watch Andor, season 1! It's the best live action Star Wars TV-series so far and Stellan delivers the best monologue ever in Star Wars history in episode 9!
I've developed an attraction to metal head Norwegians over a decade ago! I still find them attractive. But now Danish & even Swedish (tho not Scandinavian) have gotten my attention some yrs ago, 1 of them being Stellan Skarsgard. Yes, I know he's older, but I like it that way!!! 😉😋🙃
I was really confused when Mads spoke Swedish, for a brief moment I thought I just finally managed to understand Danish (that shit is unintelligible when spoken, sounds like they have a dislocated jaw) but nope. VERY impressive Swedish too, he barely has any trace of a Danish accent!
@@ElectroIsMyReligion Of course I'd understand it better if I actually knew the language, but the thing is that I can READ Danish perfectly fine, I just can't make it out at all when spoken. I can understand spoken Norwegian with no problem even though I don't speak the language, because it's articulated much more clearly than Danish.
@@KreeZafi It takes effort and patience to understand Danish (like any given language really) - I never claimed it was an easy language. And I totally admit that the pronunciation is very different and not to say fairly difficult compared to Norwegian. But saying it’s utter gibberish and unintelligible is taking it a bit too far (although I suspect you said it in a humorous tone). It all has to do with exposure. Alot of people from Scania (the Southernmost part of Sweden) have little to no diffeculty understanding Danish because of the proximity to Denmark along with their Scanian dialect being highly influenced by danish. I get It might be hard - but c’mon it’s not impossible to understand - you obviously just don’t encounter the language (danish) very often (and why would you) but that certainly doesn’t help with your comprehension. - I for instance can’t understand a single word of Dutch (a language so similar to danish in some ways and yet totally alien) - it all just sounds like throat sounds/or somebody’s on the verge of a cough - but that’s only because I have very little experience with the language - in the same way you have with Danish.
@@ElectroIsMyReligion Yeah, I can imagine people from the south understand Danish better, my brother and I joke a lot about how southern Swedish is basically Swedish with a Danish accent (and we also joke that everything south of Gothenburg is practically Denmark lol). I never said it was utter gibberish, just that it's hard to understand. And yes, he spoke Swedish here for sure, presumably because he was talking to Stellan. I even went and looked up videos of him speaking Danish to see if perhaps he just had a very clear accent, but no, his Danish sounded very different from his Swedish here - the man speaks a ton of languages so obviously he'd speak Swedish with the Swedish man!
So awesome to see a Norwegian, a Swede and a Dane speak like this without using English. Skavlan speaks simple Norwegian, Stellan Swedish and Mads also Swedish, but with a Danish accent. It's kinda funny that Mads can't speak Danish though cause then it would be a lot more difficult for people to understand. XD That would have been so awesome though if you could mix all 3.
I think Mads could easily speak Danish if he wanted. I've never met a Swede that couldn't understand me, and vice versa. Maybe if you go to the very edge of Denmark/Sweden there'd be trouble because they're not involved enough with each other, but for most Swedes and Danes I don't see a problem at all. Besides, the Scandinavian "super" language is picking up popularity these days, could be a glance into the future for all of us.
***** I've never met a Swede struggling with Danish, and I work with a ton of them. But most of the Swedes I've talked to are from Malmö/Stockholm, so maybe there's something there.
@106615697302312737737 Sorry. I should have said 75%. And I'm guessing there are a lot of Danish dialects as well that could make a difference. But it's not as easy as you make it out to be. Norwegian is really easy, Danish is a bit easy.
***** You're absolutely right, I didn't take dialects into consideration. There are some Swedish/Norwegian dialects that I can't figure out for the life of me - even some Danish ones ;-)
1:15 When Mads says "Det är en annan Stellan, ja" ("That's another Stellan, yes", not subtitled), it's completely perfect Swedish pronunciation. If I just heard that sentence, I as a Swede would not be able to pick out that he's Danish.
"I'm not leaving an inheritance they can take care of themselves" Boris my beautiful boy. A statement has never been more true, you and your wife did a phenomenal job.
Thank you everyone! Questions I have had for years now are answered by this interview and all of your insightful questions and comments. I am so happy I found this. Mads and Stellan are two of my favorite actors and I love hearing them speak like this. It is so cool you guys can understand each other. I think Mads learned Swedish from having lived there.
Stellen Skarsgaard has 8 children, many of whom are actors. Mads Mikkelsen has 2 children but they are still young and at school. He's got an older brother who's an established actor though. His name is Lars Mikkelsen and he was in The Killing and the 3rd series of Sherlock and various other.
What’s so impressive about their faces? Mads Mikkelsen looks like an alien as always while Stellan Skarsgård looks like every middle aged school principal.
This is a danish man (and actually quite a broad danish accent as well) speaking brilliant swedish to a swedish mastermind of an actor in an norwegian/swedish show❤️This man !
Oh I see! I just thought they were very similar because .. ok story time: I am from Germany and sometimes you pick up a can of something in the supermarket or so and there are the ingredients in all those languages and danish, swedish and norwegian are always almost exactly the same like word for word so I just thought they were similarly spoken too :D
