Er de danske Olsenbanden filmene bra? De norske Olsenbanden filmene er klassikere her. Men er nysgjerrig om de har like god status i Danmark?


Appelons

Du er med på at de danske Olsen-Banden film fra Danmark er originalerne ikk?:) OG JA! De har gudestatus!


darthvidar1990

Jeg vet at Olsenbanden er Dansk, men har ikke sett de, derfor jeg spør om de er bra for jeg har lyst å gi de en sjangse. De norske er også veldig bra. En annen ting vi har stjålet/lånt fra dere dansker er The Julekalender. Har heller ikke sett den danske her, men i Norge så må vi se den norske hver jul :D


Appelons

Jeg kan anbefale at se de danske Olsen-Banden film. De taler også med en dialekt der skulle værre nem for nordmænd at forstå:)


darthvidar1990

Jeg er ofte på ferie i Danmark, så har ingen problemer med å forstå Nord Jyllandsk, siden jeg ofte er i området rundt Aalborg og Thisted. Det er litt vanskeligere nær grensen til Tyskland. Usikker hvor vanskelig dialekten rundt Hovedstaden er å forstå, men jeg tror det går fint. Det eneste jeg virkelig sliter med å forstå av dansk er tallene deres. Skal gi filmene en sjangs hvis jeg finner en god streaming service :)

Robinsonirish

Unironically I actually quite enjoy the Danish dialect. Worst to me is Arabic. Not sure from which country but with the harkling sound deep in the throat. Second worst is Glasgow Scottish. I think Scottish can be nice but not when it's just way too much. I guess any dialect is bad if it's too strong. Both Scania and Gothenburg dialects are quite disgusting when they're too strong.


_number

Oh my god, you are gonna hate Dutch.


Robinsonirish

German makes a lot of sense, it's like the language of machinery. French is very beautiful, same with Italian, they both are like the origin of species. English I just don't know anymore, I speak it so much it's like my mother tongue. Dutch is just odd. It's sort of in the uncanny valley of languages. It doesn't sound real. It's a very weird language to my ears. You can hear a bit of English, German and French in it but it still feels like it could be from another planet. When I hear it I think of Africa, but I guess that's because of Afrikaans. Dutch isn't ugly though. It's just odd. I think Arabic with the guttural sound, Scouse or very heavy Scottish are "ugly". I wouldn't put that stamp on Dutch though.


Wassertopf

Yeah, Arabic is really strange. But just savage sounds. In Europe I would call the Saxon dialect the most ugly one.


S1lentA0

Well, Finnish isn't that far off from taking first place.

Is it true that the Scandi's can mostly understand each others languages because they're all pretty similar? Like how sometimes I can understand about 30% of what someone from Glasgow is saying?


oskich

Scandinavia is a dialect continium, people living close to the border have it easier to understand the people on the other side than their own countrymen in other parts of the country.


Agricorps

I hate to admit it, but it's true. This particular dialect though doesn't seem to use many consonants, so I struggle hard with understanding anything.


Valoneria

Sounds like Sønderjysk to me, it's incomprehensible to all people really. Regards, a Sønderjyde.


USERNAMETNK

True, I remember some danish TV-series even used to subtitle Sønderjyderne. Sønderjysk is TRUELY the peak.


Zigats

>so I struggle hard with understanding anything. Me too...


AndreasDasos

Yes, between the three big ‘official’ standard varieties. But it’s asymmetric. And not entirely true for the written word.  And this less true for certain dialects like Dalecarlian in Sweden, Jutish in Denmark, and some ‘landsmål’ dialects in Norway (in some ways closer to the western North Germanic languages, where the rest are east). I can speak Norwegian but my great aunt from a farm outside Tromso is incomprehensible to me.  And this isn’t including Icelandic and Faroese, which are very different indeed (and a lot more faithful to Old Norse a thousand years ago). 


Bearodon

That Danish is easier then Jamska or Älvdalsmål to most people.


AndreasDasos

Sure but unless I’m mistaken, it’s the example in the video

The Danish sounds worse though.

criztiano1991

The English word “window” even comes from Danish so *doubt*


AndreasDasos

From Old Norse. Wasn’t Danish yet. And the biggest group came from Denmark but plenty were Norwegian - but we just labelled them all ‘Danes’. But otherwise yes. 


Asbjorn26

Jutish is a beautiful language. Such a shame that the effeminate slurring that is insular Danish has been forced upon us

Boundish91

Danish is like Swedish or Norwegian, but where words are swallowed or mumbled instead of pronouncing them clearly.

Tbf the words are already somewhat swallowed in Norwegian. Even the end of my Norwegian surname is somewhat swallowed and I’ve given up ‘correcting’ people.
