I'm a Dane living in Denmark AMA

[Iamdanish]

Just that really 😀 will try my best to answer your questions.

That’s lovely Op 🤗. What do you think of Brit’s (a).

(B) do you distinguish- as a nation - Irish, Scottish, Welsh. English? Are we all British or Uk?

I know Denmark has one of the happiest populations. Why do you think that is?

Wow treading careful here 😄
Mostly that you are a very diverse society, with much bigger class issues than here. But also way more polite than we are.

Through, when we refer to you and your country we say England and English people. (But we generally do know the various parts of uk).

Jam I don't think we are happier than most. It's the parameters that make it seem that way. We are VERY equal and we have state payed schools, universities and health care. And extremely high taxes.

What do you think of your royals?

And what do you think of ours?

Hi iamdanish, I absolutely love Volbeat, does everyone in Denmark love them too? 🇩🇰

Is the Danish Legoland worth a visit?

I think you sound lovely OP, and Denmark has a fab reputation here.

I love your 7-11 stores. How do you feel about Sweden, particularly the bit just over the water from Copenhagen? Do the Danes really want it back?

I went to Copenhagen once, and went to a swimming pool (bit random, I suppose). I was completely caught unawares by the changing room etiquette - it was so much cleaner and more hygienic than the UK.

Have you ever been to a swimming pool in the UK?

How come some/most Danes speak perfect English?

Did you watch The Bridge and if so, who is your favourite character? Oh, what does “Tak” mean? Not “Täk” (I think that’s right - the word which translates into Thank you) - DH wrote Tak at the end of an email to a work colleague but the reply was “That does not say “Thank you”.”

The work colleague was Danish, by the way!

How do you all ride around on your bikes with no helmets and not seriously injure yourself, or die!

Zebra. I'm not into the royals, I don't think they belong in a democracy.

Rosie Thank you of course Danes like Volbeat, but they are not that big 😀.

Snuggy I think it is a nice place. We went when dcs were younger 😁. But I don't know the uk one so can't compare. But if you go try and visit Givskud wildlife park, too.

Through well thank you. You are so nice 👋.

Could you send me a ton of that school chalk liquorice please

I think tak means yes?

I've always wondered how Norwegians, Danish, Swedish and Finnish communicate. Do they learn each others languages or just use English? Sorry OP, I'm very ignorant!

Not OP but Tak definitely means thanks. Ä doesn't exist in Danish, but æ, ø and å do.

Do the Dane's feel the high taxes are worth it for the excellent services they get?

I've been to Cooenhagen in Winter, would it be good to visit in the summer (and possibly the beaches)?

Xx

*copenhagen

I love Denmark and have sometimes daydreamed of living there. What is the attitude to foreign residents? I've always felt very welcome as a visitor but I have got the feeling that there can be resentment to outsiders in some quarters.

Tanaqui 😂 We haven't had Skåne as that bit of Sweden is called for centuries. But I live on the coast looking directly to Sweden, and we have OPINIONS of our neighbour's as well as they have of us 😂.
But yes I'm one of the few Danes that would love having Skåne, Halland, Blekinge and Hven back. But seriously it's more if a joke.

Did you like The Bridge?!

Through, when we refer to you and your country we say England and English people. (But we generally do know the various parts of uk).

Please don't do that. I'm sure you don't mean it but it's insulting and dismissive to Scottish, Welsh and northern Irish people.
