Counting in Danish, 1 through 30.

[guitardbucket]

How easy would you say it is for a native English speaker to learn Danish? Do you think it would be easier to learn Danish than Dutch? Easier than German?

[mrledub123]

one correction is that you said 'pronounciation' when the correct word is 'pronunciation' eg. ' how do you proNOUNce this number?', 'what is the correct proNUNciation of 3 in danish' see its a small change but not many peoplke notice and it will improve your english

[EMOJYTTE]

Gad vide hva' amerikanerene tænker når du siger seks xD

[euph0xx]

thank alot that was helpful. but as far as i see u missed 12 right?

[Thrym865]

20 kan udtales som ty-u eller ty-væ. Når man siger ty-u, sluger man nærmest den sidste vokal/stavelse og hæver konsonanten v til vokalen u. Derved opstår diftongen yu, og ordet kan udtales i én stavelse.

[karimatz]

Very helpful. Mange tak ;)

[Storylover42]

Ja... Bare lige så jeg er helt sikker på at jeg har sagt tallene rigtigt hele mit liv xD

[garcatnancy]

Jeg lærer dansk og tal er difficult. tak for the video.:)

[larstheu]

@garcatnancy FYI, If I translate you english words a possible correct danish sentence could be: "Jeg er ved at lære dansk, og tal er svært. Tak for videoen."

I hope that it helps you to learn a little bit more danish: "Jeg håber at det hjælper dig med at lære en lille bitte smule mere dansk."

[livemonica1]

that was pretty good,but i would like to learn more about Danske number like 30 through 100? can u make more video?

[SRNinDK]

elsker hvordan jeg ser på det her når jeg er fra Danmark??:D

[JaffaCakeGamers]

27 sounds like Sew-a-Jew

[BeefB4Death]

BINGO, eller NEJ jeg mangler 31, lav en video til...

[Linnzy]

thank you for helping me with my homework!

[Kimibimi1]

veryy good 

[The00Smile00]

Thank you very much for this video! I'm trying to learn Danish, but it's so difficult! In Italian we don't have a lots of Danish sounds...

[aragorn1780]

wow, Danish does sound something like muffled Swedish, xD

[Guillermo8908]

Six made me laugh just because it just sounds like the way some hick would say 6. I was expecting it to sound more like sechs from German

[MGMgrantMusic]

His voice is weird...

[vikinggirlhorses]

Thank You, I need all the help I can get, most of my family lives in Danmark I am trying to learn Dansk

[Vanadell191]

@vikinggirlhorses You too! Ha ha :)

[freddyzcount90]

Jeg tror det vil være nemmere for ikke-danskere at lære tallene, hvis man også viste hvordan det er stavet.

[KakashiMuffin]

HURRA FOR DEN MÆRKELIGE MÅDE DANSKERE TÆLLER PÅ!!

[henrylover89]

we learn danish in Iceland and it's soooo easy..

[Guillermo8908]

@henrylover89 I wish English had a language close to it like that so I could be fluent in another language easily. Problem is English is sort of like a lot of different languages, but not a lot like any of them. haha.

[jjmm47]

i've been learning swedish for a while now, and danish numbers just seem sooo funny to me now, no offence to anyone.

[starletcharmed]

Thanks for this! Im learning danish myself and pronounciation is sooo hard without a teacher lol.

[JoeIerics1]

næsten præcis det samme som svenske

[jjmm47]

@JoeIerics1 HAHAHAHAHA NEJ!!! 

[jallelind]

Du har glemt tolv i beskrivelses boksen.

[nicolaidavies1]

Bøsse !!!!!!!

[KindaGame]

måske ikke lige sige det 2 gange ;D det er måske lidt forvirrende 

[UltimateRaditzLover]

sound liek dutch a little bit xD

[CheeseIsAll164]

Lol, 30- 60 = ... THE HECK??!

[rikka80]

In Denmark you cut whatever you can cut, it seems to me. I have learned to count very fast from 1 to 10! :D

[rikka80]

excuse me, you say 21 in two different ways

[xStrudseN]

@rikka80

in denmark we sometimes cut of the last "E" when we speak. hope that gives an answer :p

[vpiedra1]

I found it very helpful, thank you....haha now i can impress my friends that I can count in danish...just one question...at the end, is that the normal speed of counting all numbers including the first ones?

[milexaz164]

@kapparulz

You can go to

SpeakDanish.dk

Hope it helps :D

[JepardyGo]

Du mangler 'tolv' i din beskrivelse - men rar video alligevel!

[RasmusParkour]

nice



[livenluv1234]

is there a certain way you draw the numbers beside 1 2 3 4

[Kvtomsen]

@livenluv1234 Nope :]

[Afroknas]

Hvordan kom jeg da til at se denne video?

[Omatunto]

very good video, a thumb up.

could you count up to 100? i heard that danish has kinda intricate system of counting, similar to french. would be very nice to hear other danish numbers.

regards

[Kvtomsen]

@Omatunto The difference in danish and english numbers is that from 20 and up, instead of saying the "10's" first and the "1's" after (twenty-one, twenty-two) you say it the other way around (one-twenty). Another thing is that we actually insert the danish word for "and" which is "og" (pronounced "Ou"), between the 10's and 1's. So 21, becomes one-and-twenty, one=en, and=og, twenty=tyve. so twenty-one becomes "enogtyve".

I hope that helped you somewhat further. :]

[Jakobfifa09]

This is how u spell the words 16-30:16= seksten 17=sytten 18=atten 19=nitten 20=tyve 21=enogtyve 22=toogtyve 23=treogtyve 24=fireogtyve 25=femogtyve 26=seksogtyve 27=syvogtyve 28=otteogtyve 29=niogtyve 30=tredive

[Jakobfifa09]

This is how u spell the numbers 1 - 15: 1 = en 2= to 3= tre 4= fire 5= fem 6= seks 7=syv  8= otte 9= ni 10= ti 11= elleve 12= tolv 13= tretten 14= fjorten 15= femten

[maltehumorBUDDING]

I really tought 8 was hard, can you make a video where you go deeper into the number 8?

[IgbyMurdoc]

you should have written down how it's writen - this is useles!

[axs12345]

why is there no 12 in the disgription you say elleve and then tretten or is tretten 12?

[delfiller]

@axs12345 11= elleve, 12= tolv, 13= tretten :)

[karimatz]

Thank you so much!

[Bjowolf2]

Dansk er sgu ikke døende - kun blandt dumme danskere, der ikke respekterer det , og ikke passer på det - og som absolut skal bruge engelske erstatningord for hvert andet ord, fordi de tror, at det lyder så smart - og endog intellektuelt i visse tilfælde.

Det gør det IKKE! :-)

[TheDanishDragon]

@Bjowolf2 ligesom Ali fra Robinson ekspeditionen? (Jeg er enig med dig)

[Bjowolf2]

test

[emilandhammer]

det lyder ligesom når der er lotto

[serchmarc]

so hard

[Lineout95]

Lav en hvor du lære dem om Æ, Ø og Å. :D

[Qaoz]

Og en hvor du lærer folk forskellen på -e og -er endelser. :D

[DRAGONBALL4VEGETA]

ja, eller rød grød med fløde.. :b

[Valy103]

Rød grød med Fløde could you help me understand how do ø, æ and å are correctely pronounced and how do they change in some words ^^ pls i would really appreciate it if you'd find the time to explain that too

[Cdaaa]

Woow, nu fangede jeg migselv i at sidde at se en film om hvordan man tæller på dansk :D

hehe dumme mig!

- Fedt at se at du lærer dem dansk hr. !

[amberalysonRIP]

@Cdaaa du er da ikke den eneste dansker som fanger sig selv i at lave noget så mærkeligt som at se en film der lærer dig at tælle... på dansk...

[petunia4ever]

wow!! thanx 4 the upload, Im learning dansk and this is going to be helpful. btw, min twin lives in denmark, so she's helping me to. tak min ven!!

[dkforeverher11]

Jeg lærer norsk nu,men har lyst til at lære og tale dansk også! Det er ikk' så lett at tale dansk:) Men mange tak for hjælpen!

[Bjowolf2]

@dkforeverher11

Bare slap helt af - og hold så op med at "synge" - og tal hurtigt, drop endelser og lad ord smelte sammen. Meget simpelt LOL

[Bjowolf2]

@dkforeverher11

Bare lær at slappe af, hold op med at "synge" på norsk, tal hurtigt, drop endelser og lad ord smelte sammen - og så er du der næsten LOL

[dkforeverher11]

@Bjowolf2 tak!!!:) det skal jeg! men er sikker på at det er umolig at udtale de danske ord som rigtige dansker gør!;)

[archa000]

I have been learning swedish for a year seriously now. In september I started to learn danish too. If the swedish numerals are very simple, then on the other hand danish is something "what the hell??". I can count in danish already to 100 and more, but still I want to understand the weird thing with the numerals from 50 to 100. 50 = halvtreds (something to do about 'half" and "thirty" or what?), 60 = tres, and so on. As I said, i already can count, but I wan't to know the meaning behind it! :)

[66650043661148305595]

@archa000

Oh, our teacher is making much fun of that :)

There aint really any reason...

They say like: "Vi har to-og-halv-tyve elever i klassen" Translated to: "We have two and half twenty pupils in the class"

I'm danish though. I don't understand why it is like that.

@mdaveid

WhyTube? XD

It's UTube because U sounds like You :P

[ktgdk]

Hi archa000. A great question you made here. Most Danes don't even know why we use these "half and thirty" numbers :)

The short version is that our way of counting is a bit messy. We use some old ways of counting mixed with new ones. Both scores, tens and whatnot.

An example would be halvtreds = fifty. It is pronounced "half sixty" in danish, which doesn't make much sense. An old way of writing it is halvtresindstyve which means "half third of twenty". Thats 3x20 where the third is half :)

[ktgdk]

An easier number to explain would be Firs (80). Firs was written "Firsindstyve" which is 4 times 20.

Also... an old way of saying fyrre (40) is fyrretyve where tyve normally would be 20 but not in this number :) Here is means 4x10. Don't know why. Thats just the way it is. Strange language...

But keep up the good work!

[Bjowolf2]

@archa000

Yes LOL- you shouldn't think about those weird numbers - we don't these days! They are just "names".

But the Swedes hates us for the weird ones - they always think they are being cheated in the shops here for instance LOL

It's "halfway to the third score" , ie (3-½)x20 = 50. 3 scores = 3x'20 = 60

Older English - and others (Dutch, I think?) - also had the weird idea about saying the ones before the tens. Norwegian, Danish and German still have this system.

[3993Hannah]

Oh my...

Well, that was fast! I could do it up to thirty... That last bit, you lost me completely... :P

[mdaveid]

And by the way... I wild like to learn danish can you help me with that? :) .... send me a email or something on YTube. Tak :)

[mdaveid]

Good.. tnx for help :)
