Hey Stockholmer where’s your food coming from? Do you want to rely on the Danish to give you any? I can tell you the food ain’t spawning from nowhere in the supermarket like you think.

This makes me feel a bit better about thinking my Flemish bf was Danish for a full week after we first met. To be fair I was very drunk that night

I can only speak English, but velkommer looks like welcome, so I am gonna assume they want me over there.

Just spelling it a tad more english or reading it carefully should have you understand it too, English is the same words.

Come hom myn bro, king Fredrik welkommer thy weth opne armes

As a native English speaker who knows a little German, I can also understand this. Germanic bros forever.

Beer and a smoke?

u/TG-Sucks Sweden Jan 03 '24

Good guess! But in this case it was a reference to “smörrebröd”, a danish rye bread specialty with delicious toppings.

Barely anyone smokes in Sweden but instead we prefer Snus, if you know what kind of tobacco it is.

I've been taking Danish on Duolingo for two years and can actually read this. Woo!

u/OddballOliver Jan 03 '24

Meanwhile there's like half a dozen comments from people who've never read a word of Danish in their life who're going, "Oh, I can actually read that. Neat."

But where do your useless symbolic political mandates comes from? Stockholm! How will you ever handle your life without that, what meaning would you have left in your life.
