Now that you have it open, could you find a funny compound noun or two? I love those!

How about Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung? That's my personal favorite, though it lacks umlauts.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I'm guessing that means speed limit? Nice 😂

Okay I'm curious. With Danish being a Germanic language, how much are you benefiting from cognates and the like when making your guesses?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some. Danish isn't as closely related to German as it is to Norwegian or Swedish, but there are a lot of similarities such as similar words. Danmark is mostly an even weirder than Dutch combination of German and English 😁

Weirder than Dutch? I do not believe this.

I know it's a tall order but I'm pretty sure it's true. Danish is a really weird language 😄
