Swedish vs Danish - Language Challenge in Copenhagen 

That was so cute! Please do more videos with The Danish Lass.

This video should be named "Love At First Sight"

omg her laugh at 2:36 im in love

She sounded so skånsk when she tried to say "far? får får får?" in swedish 😂 I am skånsk myself so it was very impressive 😂

Swedish sounds like elves jumping around on a grean meadow while danish sound like drunks choking on the Oktoberfest meadows. XDDDD

I wanna learn to speak Danish so bad, I’m second generation Danish-Canadian, but the ‘ø’ and ‘dd’ sounds are super difficult for me. It’s like barre chords for your mouth.

She is just the cutest

The får får sentence made me think of all the homonyms in French. Un ver vert va vers un verre vert. = A green worm walks towards a green glass. Ver/vert/verre/vers all pronounced identically sort of like “vair” but with a French “r”.

she seems so fun and cool, i loved her in this video

Oh this languages are sooo sweet 😍 I'm German so probably I'll have adventages to learn both languages. I like all three of them. I don't know which one I like the most but danish sounds still very funny to my ears

I love this Swedish vs Danish videos... please make more videos with her Martin :)

Marry her, immediately.

Loved it. You guys cracked me up. Congrats on this very intertaining video.

Learning either Danish, Norwegian, or Swedish is like buying a Snickers and getting two free Twinkies. You can more or less understand the other two languages without trying too much!

Am African... Would love to learn Swedish but I almost cut off my tongue just now... I could only understand bits cos I learnt German

That face at 2:28, when she realizes, that the å turns into a spoken ö :D

Eyyyyy, this is high quality quarantine content.

Omg she's so sweet

I like 🇸🇪 Swedish & 🇩🇰 Danish. These two languages are so similar but the pronunciation in Danish is more difficult than in Swedish.

As an American who is learning Norwegian, boi...was I amused and lost af lmao

Danish for me is more difficult than Swedish, but I like it as well. 💙❤️

I really enjoyed this and I don't speak either Danish or Swedish, but I've recently got to recognise the difference in the intonations. So very difficult for any non-speakers to get to grips with.

For the record, this cute video contrasts a *Southern* Swedish (Skåne) accent vs. Danish and not more standard Swedish pronunciation. Skåne was under Danish rule until the 1600s, so they both share the "German R" made with the uvula and not the standard Swedish R made with the tip of the tongue. (And yes, I agree with other commentators that these two should at least try dating. There was definitely some chemistry going on ...)

I know neither of the languages but it's very fun to watch the interaction between the two.

All of the north germanic languages sound so much like joyful singing to me. It's fascinating because Denmark is the most southern scandinavian country stuck to Germany and the texture(intonation?) of danish(germanic language) is completely different from German(also germanic languages). And that kind of textural difference is,for me,also the beauty.

Somebody once told me that Norwegian is Danish spoken in Swedish.

She's great!

Funniest video ever!! I can’t speak either as an Australian but gosh I love both languages

03:17 She IS!

MARRY WITH HER !

Danish language is very similar (Low german + Norse)

Danish sounds similar to Dutch and share quite a few words. Interesting!

Does she have a youtube channel?

Two Danes in one video 👍✌🏻🇩🇰

This was great. She was still laughing about Far? Får, får får one.

Both are adorable.

I love these, they are so interesting. Half of the time with Danish I wonder if they even say separate words at all. I live closeby an area in the Netherlands where they already slur their words and I started doing it a bit too to the point where family from across the country are even wondering what I'm saying, but this is beyond. Even from a West-Germanic (Dutch) perspective I either understand words, recognize them or they just make sense anyway (they are related to a word I know with a slightly different meaning). I'm a happy person right now. ;-)

You guys could be a couple lol

As an Englishman who watches way too much Scandi Noir, I loved this video!

The swedish guys dialect (skånska) is close to danish. Particularly the "r" so probably a bit easier for both to pronounce eachothers languages than say a swedish from further up the country with "rolling r".

I wonder if the difference between swd and dan is like portuguese and spanish. It seems u guys have similar sentences/words.

I kind of assumed your Malmo dialect would be a lot more similar to Danish according to what the Swedes in the rest of Sweden say but it looks quite different.

This was hilarious. Thank you.

Love all ur vids! I'm learning Swedish! Jag älskar Sverige, och nu jag pratar lite svenska också 💓

With a bit of fantasy I can understand the sentences even though I speak Dutch. When spoken it gets a bit more difficult. Cheers for their English!

I love this channel! You are literally a big reason as to why I have decided to learn some nordic languages (Norwegian & Swedish)

"GadernA" sounded Norwegian to me. 😁😁😁 But I understand that Swedish, Danish and Norwegian have a similar writing that we can confuse the spelling of the words. I, myself, do it as well, sometimes. 😁

I just saw you two guys and then had a vision of Beowulf and Queen Wealhthew...

You need to do this with someone who isn't from copenhagen

Very nice!

It's funny how Danish is similar to Dutch (I am Dutch) but then also not at all ^^. Some words are the same/similar, and then some words (and pronounciation) are totally different.

How cute she is , Woow😀

ja snälla gör fler vloggar som dessa. Produktivt tänkande ger ordlekar !!😎😎😎

Den här är så bra🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼

skånska vs danska :D

The far, får får sentences. OMG they are the same, how you didn't understand each other haha?! :D

And of course I have to laugh at the sentence with "far", "för" or whatever that should be 😂😂

I'm learning Danish, but I'm still at the Jeg spiser broed level. Then maybe I'll give Swedish a try, any good series or something to enjoy watching/reading in Swedish?

I like Cristina's personality so much

I'm learning swedish and I'm being taught to roll the "r" with the tongue instead of the guttural French way of doing it. I notice that the Swede here pronounces "r" close to the French way. Why is that? Is it about the region he's from? I would much prefer to say my "r" that way too as my native tongue is French!

dette er meget morsomt og cool!

I saw some fighting about the specifics of tha languages and specific dialects so ... 1. He's from Skåne where there's more Danish influence due to the dialectical continuum in Scandinavia and they don't really do the Rs like most Swedes or Norwegians. 2. Yes, danish and swedish are descended from the same language. Proto-Norse became old Norse which split into West Norse (norway, Iceland, faroe islands) and East Norse (danish and swedish) and old gutnish (gotland, now part of Sweden). 3. Each country and language has their own sub-dialects and are further influenced by historic events like Norwegian and Danish. 4. Standardization of languages affected some things like Danish with the standard coming from Copenhagen. Danish was heavily influenced by German and is still considered a protected minority language in a border area in Germany. That's like where that lovely rolled R fell away in Danish and about 40% of the language obtained German words. Bonus. Old forms of French used to roll their Rs and sound a little more germanic or rural Spanish depending on the region. I have no idea where the guttural R originated but there are tons of funny stories about it in both french and german. I'm old cajun french, danish and swedish so I like to study up on this histories of the languages and my old french can sound more "North Germanic/Spanish" which I enjoy compared to modern French. Thanks and apologies for the long comment.

Love danish more hello from Al 😍

as an american, when i tell people i can do conversational swedish and they ask me to say something, i just say "får får får får får får"

Quite similar on the one hand but completely different on the other xD

2:49 I had the exact same reaction as her to this hahah the får really sounds posh in the same way that british english does to non-brits

They are smiling because the languages are similar in vocabulary, but more different in pronounciation. For me Russian native both are extremely hard to spell, sounding so special and weird.

this is hilarious 😂

Dejligt, sødt og hyggeligt.

The far tongue twister reminds me of a german saying which if you say it to a german, he probably wouldn't understand it, even though it's a completely normal and correct sentence: "Mähen Äbte Heu? Äbte mähen nie Heu. Mägde mähen Heu. Äbte beten." (Do abbots mow hay? Abbots never mow hay. Maids mow hay. Abbots pray)

3:43 what does it mean in Swedish?

Sure, fun idea! BUT...I live a few miles north of Gothenburg, and I sometimes have a hard time understanding that swedish dialect. Through my military training, there was a guy who spoke with that dialect, but even worse. I ended up avoiding him for 7,5 months, because I COULD NOT understand a word he was saying. And I am Swedish!

Why does skånska å sound like rikssvenska ö?

Can understand Swedish more than Danish, looks like I needa do more Danish. Swedish does sound like singing.

The mutual intellegibility among Nordic languages(excluding Finnish) is amazing. In the Philippines, there are hundreds of languages but I have no clue what people are talking about whenever they speak their local languages, even if I try reading them. Perhaps, some shared words but still, no clue 😓😂

As a Frisian I can understand Swedish better. Danish pronounciation is really hard to decipher sometimes. (No hate, just my own findings.)

WOW! Vilken vacker är hon?

True story, my great grandad was from Copenhagen and moved to Minnesota, where he met and married a Swedish woman. I speak neither unfortunately. 😞

I’m laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂😂

The innuendos are over 9000

Ahh Swedish is a beautiful language

I like Kristina. And Swed and Dane are very interesting languages.

Haha, this was hilarious.

danish and swedish are beautiful languages well for me of course.

This is so weird! I wlways though that Danish and Swedish were more or less the same language! Is it really just the pronaunciation?

crazy

Þið eruð mjög skemmtilegar!!!

So you can communicate in your own languages? Cause the languages looks very similar🤔

i think swedish is smiliar with danish and norwegian?

0:08 Ukrainian flag?

I am currently a dane in sweden, what now?

I find "att få", which primarily means "to get", one of the trickier verbs for English speakers. In English, when bearing offspring one does not "get" children, but rather "has" them, but in Swedish it's "får barn" not "har barn". In English we might say "I shall see" if something will happen, but in Swedish it is not "Jag skall se" but rather "Jag får se". And when handing an item to somebody in English we might say "here you go" or "here you are", the Swedes say "här får du". Confessing my rookie mistakes...

Is a question mark(?)Used the same as in English? Do Scandinavian languages use the same punctuation marks?

I miss helsingborg

Armenian learning Swedish right now. I dont know how, but I can pronounce everything said here (given enough space, that is). Wondering what that says about my own language.

Did I just witness Kate Winslet speaking flawless Danish?

ronk LOL

Det er sjovt.

What the hell is with the Swedish (or maybe Skånska?) "å" in "får"? It almost sounds like it's half ø/ö and half å. I think that's what is tripping her out as well, it's a sound completely unlike anything I've ever heard before. :D

I've watched many danish and swedish films/series on internet, I think danish is far more difficult to understand/pronounce...
