Okay I'm curious. With Danish being a Germanic language, how much are you benefiting from cognates and the like when making your guesses?

[โ€“] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Some. Danish isn't as closely related to German as it is to Norwegian or Swedish, but there are a lot of similarities such as similar words. Danmark is mostly an even weirder than Dutch combination of German and English ๐Ÿ˜

Weirder than Dutch? I do not believe this.

I know it's a tall order but I'm pretty sure it's true. Danish is a really weird language ๐Ÿ˜„
