Hearing English speakers try to pronounce "Hygge" is hilarious every time.
And rød grød med fløde
this guy really butchered it
Nevermind the smørrebrød pronouncing 😂
K-noot er den bedste 😂😂
yep XD
Fun Fact: Danish people love watching stuff about themselves
Ahaha
So true
This is too true
Hell yeah
Yep
im a simple dane, i see denmark i click.
It's an instinct every dane possesses.
So true lol
også mig :)
Samme her
Også mig
You forgot that Denmark one of the smallest countries in the world, have the worlds largest shipping company.
Yes mærsk. Also forgot to mention NOVA NORDISK. B&O. VESTAS DSV and others. We are doing quiet well here in Denmark.
Carlsberg is also arguably the forfartherr of all European beer brewing, having send samples of the first stable yeast strains for free to all major European breweries.

Handball is actually a Danish invention, like American football is American, handball was actually first invented in good old Denmark.
Ken Kobayashi Rasmussen true
kongenafnissebo Dude, you just tried to take away glory from Denmark, by cementing my point, handball is a Danish invention. If someone invents a spoon, every other version of a spoon is still a spoon... if this is not totally logical to you, then honestly I feel sorry for you...
Instead of being a grumpy troll, just acknowledge that you miss read my comment and decided to be a troll before thinking it trough...it’s okay, we forgive you..
kongenafnissebo Just do not involve yourself in grownups conversations if you can not handle being wrong...
kongenafnissebo Yeah, you go do that...
@@kongenafnissebo
You probably think Carl Schelenz is the guy who created handball? 😂
Why don’t you go look it up yourself? Carl Schelenz was 16 years old in 1906, that’s the year The Dane Holger Nielsen published the rules for modern handball, which he had worked on for 8 years....
I've never heard a person pronounce Tivoli like that lmfao
It's becaurse he talked about the oldest theme park in the world: Dyrehavsbakken. It is more than 400 years old
@@mayahogrefe5786 He also talked about Tivoli. And yes. It was a weird way to pronounce it.
At the start it sounded like he was trying to say holy
Ha
Doesn't matter how they pronounce it. The majority of danes can't pronounce english words either.
If you wanna try what "Hygge" is about, try this.
On a cold night, sit down on the couch with friends or family, turn off the lights and light some candlelights on your coffee table, wrap yourself in a blanket and sip a cup of tea, or whatever you fancy, maybe even have a few snacks nearby to munch on and maybe watch some TV.
It's an amazing feeling.
I dont get it. as a dane i've only seen/heard of people doing that a few times. I think we make it out to be a bigger thing that it actually is
@@isaakring2573 Hygge is not a specific thing, it is whatever you enjoy and relax too. It can be anything, with friends or by yourself. I bet you do "hygge" all the time with your own company. Like watching a series by yourself with some snacks :)
@@niviholm6058 well since it's so general i dont think there is any need to make that term into something special. I dont think that is something we do more than other countries idk
@@isaakring2573 As it is specified it is easier to welcome and who doesnt welcome hygge? .. We live for this shit, everyone should IMO.
It is like carpe diem or "yolo"
Hygge is just feeling cozy
I love when people try to say Danish names and words, it sounds so funny.
Gps siger sjov måde.
Hehe right mostly when you live there
My name in english is just pronounced different
@@A_Thistle me too
Him trying to pronounce “Leg Godt”: Leee gdtt
I think a better transcription is "Layeh got". Right? In one of my former videos I was trying to pronounce the vowels (unsuccessfully?) and had a laugh...
lol
@@HouseofEl lie got is the closest phonetic transcription
@@HouseofEl Or "Lie got"
i feel a nationalistic urge as a dane to point out that when the british attacked Copenhagen during the napolionic wars they *WERE* actually retreating from the far supirior danish fleet and only won because we didnt think they could break through so when ONE of their admirals saw a gap and used it to get on land we werent prepared and got massacered XD
Yeah and Lord Nelson commended the Danes saying it was some of the fiercest seamen he ever fought
We had some downs allright
But is that really how it happened? As far as i recall from history the Royal fleet chose to attack before the big navy that Russia had which were frozen until spring/summer time.
Forgot to mension they bombed copenhagen to danish called for peace
I see denmark in the title, i click, i see, im just another normal dane
Love it! Check out some of the videos on Denmark I made. I moved out now, but plenty of experiences are worth sharing!
@@HouseofEl No stop self advertising you skid
Good video, but there is a lot more to Denmark than "just" Copenhagen.
Shhhs don't tell them Copenhagen isn't the only place in denmark. Theyll never suspect a thing
You mean j... jylland? Ew
@IamAbigMocaBubbleTea somehow jy what? I don't think that exists. At least to anyone outside denmark it doesn't
IamAbigMocaBubbleTea Jylland isnt a ducking Island lol
IamAbigMocaBubbleTea somehow
It’s an inside joke, only people From denmark would understand
Fun fact:
When Sweden played Denmark in the recent Handball World Cup final, on the scoreboard it said SWE - DEN, with the remaining letters from each country being DEN - MARK!
i love how hard it is to understand what sam is saying when he tries to say danish words or names.
Ja men også lidt svært😂😂
Rød grød med fløde. Like if you can say this without twisting your tongue
Try saying stativ, stakit, kasket without twisting your tongue :)
Try saying fem flade flødeboller på et fladt flødebolle fad, five times in a row. Without twisting your tongue
Gå væk
@@dakradio_official hvorfor?
@@scoopgmx5411 fordi
Nice list Even if I had a bit of trouble understanding some of those pronunciations of our words ;)
Can't believe there wasn't a single point on this list mentioning Aqua or Barbie Girl.
Also, Copenhagen houses THE oldest comic book store in the whole world, "Fantask" which is turning 50 years old next year.
Last year, the place was on the edge of closing it's doors actually but a huge crowdfunding campaign raised almost $90,000 to help them stay afloat.
Denmark was also THE first country to legalize the sale of pornographic content and we were also the first country to legalize gay marriage.
And for many Europeans growing up in the '90s, you might remember a television show where you could call in to play a computer game called Hugo via the buttons on your phone. That character and the whole concept also originated from the Danish company "Silverrocks Studio"
The Unity engine that is used by many developers to create video games these days also have its roots in Denmark.
Also, in Denmark, we like to think that Santa Clause lives on Greenland and not the North Pole.
Santa Clause danish name is "Julemanden" which directly translates to "The Christmas Man"
We also celebrate Christmas on Dec 24th and usually opens up presents after the Christmas dinner.
Most Danes prefer Duck or Pork with rinds while a few prefer ham. As long as the potatoes and gravy are there.
We were one of the first countries to legalize civil union* for gay people in 1997. Gay marriage was only made a mandatory service in all churches in 2012 :)
Wow de er...
I read it all..... And normally here I would say what a waste of time but like as a dane it's nice with some cool fun facts even If I new half of them
*civil union.. Gay marriage came many years later. Hpefully we will soon become the first country to ban religious/cultural circumcision of children.
Benjamin Christensen hopefully yea, but not with the current government ://
Denmark🇩🇰: How about we call this land of Ice... Greenland
Centuries later
The world: Hey denmark this is not funny anymore
Denmark🇩🇰: ... What?
Wtf
Norway found Greenland
Proof of good education in Denmark: I am 17 years old and about average in history class. I knew 96 of these facts.
Almost same that i know and from and live in Denmark too but im 13 years old tho
You forgot about danish disign and architecture, like the operahouse in Sydney
FINALLY IT HAPPENED. I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG.
Greetings
An excited Dane!!!
PS: we have 1.3 million people in Copenhagen, not 700K. 😉
Depends on how you want to define Copenhagen. If you talk København Kommune and Frederiksberg Kommune then it is around 700K. If you talk greater Copenhagen then yes it is 1.3M.
It is more incorrect he says we have around 5 million people we exceeded that a long time ago. In January we were just over 5.8 million in Denmark and over 5.9 when we include Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Nice er du dansk???
Copenhagen itself the city dosent have 1.3 million people
Best butter cookies in the world! Love Copenhagen!
In danish they are called småkager, wich means little cakes
Fun fact: I dont think i have ever had one of those cookies... They arent really that big of a deal here... 😂
Ayyyy
Yes I am from Denmark. Det er ET dejligt land😀
You do realize there is more than Copenhagen
american: **breaks foot** well there goes your college
dane: **laughs in free healthcare**
And paid for education....... Yes we get paid from when we turn 18 to attend pretty much any education, but also it's free for us to attend that education.
We Got metioned by outsiders
Woooooooo!
@@anjavinding5412 ur comment is underrated
YAY
Vi elsker det for meget
16:24 and that one leader was Magrete, king Valdemar's daughter, who were th first female ruler and the one who made the union possible.
This union fell apart when she died, because the next ruler, Christian, killed a bunch of Swedish politicians (or some other kind of important Swedish people, I can't remember 100%), which was why the Swedish decided to stop being part of the union, understandably so.
Queen Margrethe was not officially the ruler, but rather the regent in place of her son, Olaf, since her husband, the king of Norway had died.
Christan II wasn't the next leader, the next leader was Erik af Pommern, (or of Pommerania, if you will), whom she adopted, because Olaf ended up dying. Erik was then followed by King Hans who was _then_ followed by Christian II. The union, as you say, did start to fall apart almost as soon as Margrethe died, though, because the Swedes didn't want to be a part of it. It had then been falling apart until the Stockholm Bloodbath, which Christian II thought would show those Swedes who was boss.
Ftr, No one liked Erik much as a king, though he was wise enough to start the whole taxation of Øresund. He ended his days as a pirate working off of Gotland. Just, uh, that detail never fails to amuse me.
@@Sigart oh Yeah, that's right. It 's a long time since I had to memorize this.
It's awesome that you were nice about it though, a lot of people would be condescending or out right mean if they had the chance to correct someone on the internet
@@welp3974 Ah, well, you're welcome. Likewise, a lot of people would be offended for being corrected, so.. I guess we can both pat ourselves on the back? XD
It's fun to hear you pronounce danish words, as dane it sounds quite funny 😂. Smørbrød was an interesting experience to hear you say 🤣🙈🙉🙊
Jeg havde seriøst ingen ide om, hvad han mente da han sagde det fordi det lød så forkert haha
Ida Johnsen det er det jeg mener med en interesant oplevelse 😂, skulle genhøre sætningen mange gange før den fes ind på lystavlen 😂
Og det hedder “Smørrebrød”.
I have been a subscriber for like 4 years and i have only sitting and waiting for this video. So thank god i was happy when i saw this video😇😇
Same. I couldn't understand it wasn't done,but finally it's here 😁
I just want to say that the Danish population is a little bit more than 5 million. Like just about 800 k people more
Yeah that should be pretty important
They are the islamic invasion making up the numbers though
Yeah the danes are soon hitting 6 m.
Brilliant content and delivery. Thank you!
Wait, so nothing about Prussia taking Schleswig and Holstein from us after the 2nd Schleswig war of 1864?
KNW i just Learned that in school last week
We can't name all the wars Denmark was in or it would be over an hour of just him giving names of wars xD
@@malle8306 but it lost us a 3rd of our country and was probably one of the most important wars we ever fought
Most wars sweden.
Danish person: sees video about Denmark
Danish person: must see!
Great job countinue greetings from a a air force pilot in Greenland
My dad was stationed in Greenland too, when he was in the military.
The Slaughter of danish pronounciation 😂
It should be "27 min of me triggering Danish people"
@Edward Wilson little off track but yes.
The government has ordered every danish mink to be put down and not allowing the farmers to sell the fur. Effectively destroying the industry and putting hundreds - if not thousand out of their jobs from one Day to the next.
Fun fact about the queen, she is Denmarks first queen to officially "rule" Denmark so they wanted to change her name to Magrethe I (1) instead II (2).
And another fun fact is that Magrethe I was the first unofficial queen to rule Denmark when her husband died and her son was to young to take over the thrown...
@@z.ajensen6286 Margrethe the first is literally soooo cool she just united the north to one union she was the definition of a queen
Of course, Elizabeth II is also the first Elizabeth to rule the UK but I can't see anyone changing that title anytime soon.
@@z.ajensen6286 Hmmm think you need to work on your fun facts, they seem to be mutally exclusive...
@@Gmackematix what is it with you guys?! no she's not, Elizabeth I was queen regent from 1558-1603
Hygge is that feeling when you are doing something really nice, eating something tasty, or having a nice time with family or friends, where you get like a tickle, or a warm fuzzy feeling deep down in the stomack.
To do something "hyggeligt" is doing anything that gives you that fuzzy feeling...
You forget about the the Old city in. Aarhus
Finaly. I have been waiting years for this one
What about the Danish actors who played "Game of thrones" characters???
yeah what about them 101facts
Frank Hvam eller Pilou Asbæk? >.
We have the Oldest Standing Monarchy as well btw
Nah, try Google if. Both Norway and Sweden have one older the us 🤷🏼♀️
@@katrinebirk2006 Norges konge familie kom til Norge da de folkevalgte en dansk prins til at blive konge i 1905 så det klart at deres er ligeså gammel som vores når det er vores 🤷🏼♀️ 🤷🏼♀️
@@katrinebirk2006 Vi snakker også om at have det ældste monarki i hen hold til rækken af efterfølgere hvor den danske konge familie har blandt den ældste uden at blive brudt op ved at en ande konge kom eller monarkiet blev væltet og oprettet under ny konge familie. Da Margrete kan spore sin afstamning helt tilbage til Gorm den gamle for over 1000 år siden. Den nuværende svenske konge familie har en afstamning der går til omkring Charles XIV fra 1818 som kom fra Frankrig af og Norges afstamning er som førnævnt fra Danmark i 1905
Then he said danneborg, my eye got triggered 😅
Also, Lukas Graham is from Christiania and is often seen wearing the "free Christiania" merchandise
"Bevar" er vel nærmere "preserve", ikke "free"
OoMikkioO true, tænkte ikke lige over det
Watching people having a name like *“Demøn Lørd”* makes me laugh every time, because it sounds so stupid in danish lol
Skaareen yea I think it’s funny to see people trying to be cool and spelling it like that
Sounds more stupid when people not from Denmark try to say It
Frederik3475 RBLX yea lmao
Yes !!!! Finally my country :D
Awesome vid as usual
Love this guy, he does not just tell all the facts but also make some jokes. Keep up the good work
Lot of facts I did not know about my own country :p
“Jante” is not something nice to remember. It’s basically an envy of anyone having more than others. It’s not something Danes are proud of!
That's funny: I'M from Denmark!, So i love this video! ^^
I think that Tycho Brahe died of a ruptured bladder. He had been drinking at a function, but was too polite to get up and go for a Jimmy whilst speeches were being given.
Well actually the way he died was never confirmed, but he did die while having dinner with the king of Belgium I believe (not sure it but it was certainly a very important person from that area). And yes the story goes that he died of a ruptured bladder from literally not peeing because he was being too polite to ask. Tycho Brae was also friends with the danish king and was gifted the island of Hvem (which is swedish now), to study the stars. There is so much history about Thycho Brae! If you're from Denmark or sweden or ever visit you should go to Hvem and see the palace garden and the museum about him, really interesting stuff.
@@nonorden7100 - Thanks for that information. Tycho Brahe was an extremely interesting man, of whom too few people today are aware of. He was a genius on a level with Galileo Galilei and Nikolas Copernicus. However, like Doctor John Dee, and Robert Hooke, his name isn't mentioned as much as it should be.
And he did not have a gold noose. Was it not a silver far as I remember (blame Alletiders Jul)
I'm from Denmark so this video is really fun to see other perpetives in Denmark

Is it me or did you give up on Denmark after fact 94 and just talk about one hippie commune? It's not like you hadn't mentioned bacon, Victor Borge, speedway, Maersk, Aqua, the Øresund Bridge, Caroline Wosniacki, Scandi-dramas like The Killing, Bang Olufsen, salty liquorice, Tuborg beer, Viggo Mortensen, egg chairs, Faroe Islands, (Lurpak) butter cookies or Hamlet.
You could add CAROLINE Wosniacki to you list ;-). Also as actors maybe Mads Mikkelsen and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau would be better to mention. And Danish pastry. Also the fact that the 2 countries who has been at war the most times with each other in the history of the world, is Denmark and Sweden.
@@TheLizzerazu Thanks. Sports has always been my trivia downfall but that was an embarrassing brain fart so I've changed it. I left out Danish pastries and Great Danes because they call the former Viennabrot and the latter are German.
