Paradox Development Studio Advent Calendar #5 Groogy

[nOxr]

I've lived my entire life in Sweden, though in Skåne which some people here in Stockholm refer to as Denmark. Then I also have danish heritage. My moms maiden name is Mikkelsen.

For Konge og Fædreland! Scandinavia shall once again be ours!

When will that Culture Conversion reach 100%, dammit?! This is not WAD.

How to spot a swede: Øjne blå og gule tænder

(Jeez my Danish is really rusty, I tried first then checked with Google Translate... was way off...)

 

[Illanair]

Who the hell has an icicle on a waffle???

The swedes! That's who! (Dodged that bullet *phew*)

How to spot a swede: Øjne blå og gule tænder

Almost there. Blå øjne, not øjne blå

crawling in my skin

 

[RedRalphWiggum]

If a dane told the joke I'm guessing no one would get it.

They sound like Dutch people who wish they were Swedish

I'm guessing icicle means icing sugar or something in Scandinavia

 

[Illanair]

I'm guessing icicle means icing sugar or something in Scandinavia

No that's on me. I meant to say Ice Cream - Not Icicle (Which I mixed up with popcicle) :happy:

I'm a chocolate man, okay!? I don't eat that delicious creamy stuff. :blush:

(Icing sugar is generally "powdered sugar" in all of the Scandinavian languages - Except of course we call sugar different things)

 

[Avernite]

They sound like Dutch people who wish they were Swedish

Not at all. Swedes sound funny and cute and make you want to go 'awww'. That combination with Dutch already gives Flemish, it can't also apply to Danish.

Hey now, leave the Dutch out of this...

Is that "blue(aka. black?) eyes and yellow teeth"?

 

[Carbon]

Groogy, you're a cool guy. Now if only I understood all these Scandinavian jokes :unsure:.

 

[podcat]

Groogy, you're a cool guy. Now if only I understood all these Scandinavian jokes :unsure:.

I think its probably better if you don't

Is this the right place to post this video of European languages on St. Peter's Square (including Danish) ?

If we want a bunch of drunkards there's plenty of locals we can hire.

I think Danes count as "mini-"irish in that regard, don't you think?

Hey! You've seen I can limit my alcohol consumption if extremely ill

I think Danes count as "mini-"irish in that regard, don't you think?

That's the Scots

 

[Illanair]

Scandinavia - We eat funny things.

That's true. The provinces of west flanders, and the dialect they speak there, has a lot of words in common with the swedish language.

 

[Illanair]

Dutch in general is fairly similar to Danish - I have a couple of Dutch friends who often start talking among themselves. And I can understand about half of it because they are so similar.

really funny dialect actually if you tell me...
