Norwegian: due (pigeon), drue (grape)
Danish: due (pigeon), drue (grape)
Swedish: duva (pigeon), druva (grape)
Dutch: duif (pigeon), druif (grape)
Afrikaans: duif (pigeon), druif (grape)
Frisian: duif (pigeon), druif (grape)

A few notable outliers: English, Scots, Icelandic

An assortment of more or less ridiculous Danish phrases to incorporate into your day-to-day life! (part the 2nd)
strømpesokker (noun, fk. pl.) – socksocks Or stockingsocks, if you will. It's socks either way.
(hjemme)futter (noun, fk. pl.) – (home)choos I literally had no idea how to translate this, but basically futter (fut in singular) are like slippers or any kind of cozy, comfortable shoes you'd wear indoors. I don't know why we sometimes call them that, but fut is also the sound a train makes. Thus: choos.
blamsefi (noun, fk.) – blasmephy Blasphemy, but wrong because it sounds funnier like this
idyd (interj.) – indeed This is what we in Danish tend to call an undersættelse (see below) of the English indeed. I 'in' and dyd 'virtue', but it kind of sounds like deed. Again, I don't know anyone who uses this except from my immediate family
undersætte (verb) – transearly (extremely not literally) Allow me to explain: in Danish translate is oversætte (lit. over + set, likely a calque of Latin trādūcō via German übersetzen). When you underdo the act of oversætte, so when you translate something badly, especially if you do it too literally, you have not translated it – you have transearlied it (excuse my creative liberties here)
hils (verb, imperative) – tell them I said hello You can use this in literally any situation when someone announces they are going anywhere at all. To Austria? Hils! Grandpa's uncle's dog's funeral? Hils! The restroom? Hils! (even better if it's not a public restroom). However, this is traditionally used to tell someone to tell the person on the other end of a phone call hello from you
knep (interj.) – fuck (literally) Literal translation of English fuck. This is considered extremely vulgar in the same way that I think fuck is to especially older speakers of English (?)
stande (verb, dialect) – refurb An alternate way to say istandsætte (long, boring, standard Danish) in the dialect of the area of Jylland where I'm from (Salling). It means to fix, repair or refurbish
slo (adj., dialect) – stale Literally means the same as stale, which (imo) doesn't have an actual word in standard Danish. Your crisps got old and soft? Slo. Bread old and dry? Slo. Straw wet and moldy? Slo. Soda lost all its fizz? Slo. Again, this is sallingbomål <3
goddawsbjerg (interj.) – g'day-hill Say this when it is clear someone has not been following what has been said or has happened around them, kind of as to say "thrilled you decided to join us mentally as well as physically". As for the prevalence, I literally don't know anyone outside of my immediate family who uses this
idyllerisk (adj.) – idyllicish Literally just idyllic but funnier
bajselademad (noun, fk.) – pinchocowich Bajselademad is a portmanteau of the words bajer/bajser 'beer' (slang, so I used pint instead of beer) and chokoladelademad 'chocolate sandwich' (open faced, obviously). It literally just means a beer
puttesove (verb) – tucky-sleep A sorta cutesy, joking way to say sleep. Putte is the word for tucking someone in, as well as just chilling in bed – with at least a blanket or duvet if not several in addition to pillows
diskodaskoluderbenzin (noun, uncountable) – disco dasco whore gasoline Excuse the misogynistic overtones, but I just genuinely think this is a very funny was of describing low percentage vodka- or rum-basesd drinks (for example Bacardi Breezer)
kodyl (adj.) – aspirin Kodyl means great or exaggerated, and you can also use it as an interjection kodylt! like you would use 'swell!', because it is pretty outdated. Kodyl was originally a brand of painkiller
hurtigkneppersko (noun, fk. pl.) – fast-fucker shoes Expensive men's shoes, usually of some kind of skin, be it leather or snake. It implies the wearer of the shoes is a braggart with nothing to really brag about. This was added to the dictionary fairly recently, to the great amusement of many Danes
slam! (onomatopoeia) – whack! An onomatopoetic word imitating the sound of being hit. Used not unlike the (now somewhat outdated) English "oooh, burn!" or just "ouch!" to indicate that something said to someone in your company was (perhaps unnecessarily) blunt, rude, or just shut them down really quickly – like a slap to the face
hjemmebragt (adj.) – home mrade Or, more accurately, home brought. Most commonly used for baked goods (originating from hjemmebagt 'baked at home') that you intended to make yourself, but you just didn't have time, so you bought it at the corner store instead. Its use has, however, in my experience been extended to include most anything that """should've""" been homemade, but isn't
konge (adj.) – king When something is really good, it's konge. Anything can be konge, from a chair to the meal your mother cooked you on your bi-annual visit at home.
brugsvildledning (noun, fk.) – user misleader · deceptions for use A play on the word for 'user guide', brugsvejledning, swapping out the nominalised form of the verb vejlede 'guide, lead' for that of vildlede ' 'mislead, decive'
ork (noun, fk.) – bear An ork is something that you just really cannot be bothered to do, because it would require some kind of effort. Doesn't matter how much effort, as it could be anything from getting your drink that you forgot in your kitchen, only realising this after you sat down, to explaining to your homophobic uncle why it's not acceptable to call gay people slurs, even if it is "just a joke". Most often, it is the former of those two scenarios
dak (noun, uncountable) – boom* Short for dakkedak, which is an onomatopoetic name for music with a strong, repetitive bass rhythm. *this is a bad translation, but it's the best I could come up with
gråssenollike (noun, fk.) – greyish feather-brain A joke-y name for a house sparrow, gråspurv. Gråsse is presumed to either originate from plain gråspurv or gråsset 'grey-ish', and nollike is a word that can mean fool, but also be used about animals or women in jest.
skemad (noun, uncountable) – spoon food Literally anything you can eat with a spoon. I believe its most common use is for the food you first give babies when they are moving on from nursing to real food, but I know quite a few people who use it for cereal because we literally only have the word “morgenmadsprodukter” for it, which is a mouthful to say.

If you’d also like to read the sagas in Danish (or Norwegian, or Swedish, or Icelandic, or Faroese), you can!
This link will take you to the main page for the Danish texts, but if you look at the top of the sidebar on the left of the page, you’ll see the option to view the texts in another language! Woohoo!
I’ve just recently finished the first volume of the Oldtidssagaerne, and can personally recommend specifically the Vølsungernes saga! Also featured in the book I read is Ragnar Lodbrog’s saga, which was also a delightful read! To find these quickly, just search for them in the search bar at the top of the page!
Happy reading, friends! ✌️💕📖

Copenhagen
Danish side of Tumblr, may I have your ear?
Kiddo (who will be 15 by then) and yours truly are making plans to spend 3/4 days in Copenhagen next autumn (2024).
Any tipps? He wants to go out for a large breakfast once, have indian one evening, korean the next, wants to try danish cakes, but he doesn't like fish (do not blame me; I am just the aunt).
We are looking for a museum suitable for someone with ADS that makes his brain go 🚀🎉 without stressing him out.
He really really wants to explore Christiania but of course doesn't want to be a pain in people's butt. Any recommendations?
Does anyone know antique shops that mostely sell small stuff that doesn't break the budget of a teenager?
Would you recommend going on a ferry ride?
Is there something we should not do?
Thank you for reading and re-blogging!

Der er ikke nok som blogger på dansk på Tumblr det er lidt trist. Men jeg tror det er fordi der kun er en meget lille gruppe af os, så det er svært at nå hinanden, især når det kommer til alternative folk og lignende… men måske!

Ingen har bedt om det, men Admiralens hund har haft et 2024 så langt at det føltes som et helt årti, så her kommer en Buller-update:
I februar sprang hans ene korsbånd (senen i knæet), og der var tvivl om han kunne opereres eller måtte aflives. Han endte med at blive opereret, og har nu haft kronisk chicken leg i halvanden måned fordi de måtte barbere hele hans ene bagben. Det går godt nu. Dyrlægen siger at han har mindst fem gode år tilbage.
Buller synes, det har været tre fuckin lange måneder, så send ham jeres kærlighed.

Vil du ikke skrive nogle af dine yndlings carlxassad sange? Kunne godt bruge noget inspiration til min egen playliste :D
adgjlkjdkgl den her liste af sange giver INGEN mening, den spænder SÅ bredt
Tilbage Hvor Vi Var - Christian Brøns/Patrik Isakson er min nummer ét. den får mig til at tænke på Carl der reflekterer på hvad der gik galt med Vigga men samtidig lægger teksten op til en ny forelskelse eller ny chance med en anden person eller den samme person - men! det er en duet med en anden mand, og hvis man kniber øjnene lidt sammen måske, er den for mig totalt en Journal 64 stemningssang
Love Is On My Side - Black Mamba ok ok jeg er stor Melodi Grand Prix fan og det her var Portugal i 2021 (de var bedre i semifinalen end i finalen og jeg ærgrer mig stadigvæk) MEN MEN det er en Assad sang. Det er rendyrket optimisme men den er samtidig lidt bittersød og jeg synes bare det passer så godt til ham
Feel - Robbie Williams. jeg har faktisk ikke noget at sige til mit forsvar. men. I just wanna feel real love / feel the home that I live in (...) I don't wanna die / but I ain't keen on dying either / Before I fall in love (...) I got too much love running through my veins / to go to waste
King and Lionheart - Of Monsters and Men . hvem er kongen og hvem er løvehjertet? kommer an på hvem af dem du spørger og hvornår
ok nu vil jeg høre hvad du har på din liste?
