<br>
Thanks to Marc Daniel Skibsted Volhardt, a kind, enthusiastic non-Lowlander in Denmark, our Anniversary
site now has a language index in Danish.<br>
<br>

<br>
Tak skal du ha, Marc.<br>

Folks, time for you members to get active again!<br>

Talking about Danish, you are likely to enjoy the following Danish video:<br>

I find it extremely funny, presented as a TV reality show spoof. It's a comic
approach to Denmark's
dialect diversity. It is made for a Danish audience, but you will enjoy it even
without knowing Danish. The funny thing is that most of the Danish
parts are not to be understood by Danes either. Three gentlemen complain to the
audience in <i>English</i> (with Danish subtitles) about the fact that Danes
don't understand each other in Danish and that as a result Danish society as we
know it is doomed. The hilarious twist is that the participants feel obligated
to <i>pretend</i> to understand each other. At one point, the hardware man (<i>isenkræmmer</i>)
has a moment of failing courage. What he "whisperingly screams" at the customer to
whose arm he's clinging is "Hjælp! Vi forstår hinanden ikke!"
("Help! We do not understand each other!") But the stiff upper lip</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> prevails</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
soon enough, and everyone goes on faking mutual comprehension … <br>
<br>
Enjoy!<br>
