Man kan da ikke sige folk udtaler det forkert, det kommer jo an på hvad det rent faktisk er de vil sige. Rødgrød er jo ikke mere rigtigt end rød grød, og så vidt jeg ved findes den grød slet ikke virkeligheden.
I got close, I'm Swedish and since we also have a few words which we pronounce with the back of our tounge I think I should have at least a 90% similarity to those in the video D:
Well, four years ago I integrated danish society like never before and scare the shit out of people when I say this, just because I'm Bulgarian. Normal, Copenhagen style, no accent at all, people can't tell if I'm from there at all. Judland or Sweden are hell though :) Good job on recording it and really, as Thrym said, it's rødgrød, it gives me such pleasure to correct Danes who say it wrong :)
I'm American, able to speak a number of other languages though. I can say "rødgrød med fløde", but have had absolutely no luck getting the rest of my family to say it right.
Why does Danish always sound as if the speakers were drunk? I sometimes thought about taking Danish classes at the university, but what I heard about the pronounciation, scares me off so far. :D
Probably I need some 1-litre-cans of Faxe to be able to say 'rød grød med fløde'.
@Lauritz1800 Most native English speakers (including myself) who have tried learning another Germanic language will usually be able to figure out a close pronunciation for the character "ø" because it is also an International Phonetic character with similar pronunciation.
I agree. The learning curve is steep, but once you get it it becomes very intuitive. I honestly find Swedish to be harder to pronounce than Danish....
I have always roughly translated it as red fruit porridge with cream (which is very tasty btw)
My favorite phrase to have Danes say is
"The brussel sprouts are wrapped in aluminium foil and are in the refrigerator with the rest of the vegetables" or " The victorious vikings wander wearily" or "very well" as "v" and "W" can be tricky for them.
The other phrase that Danes like to get people to say is "Guleroedder" or carrots.
***I usually add fruit more as a clarification of what it is and not that the word fruit is at all mentioned in the phrase*** as the person previously mentioned "red porridge with cream" is a better direct translation
Only a few of the Danes are actually pronouncing it correct. It's called rødgrød, not rød grød. Sadly, many Danes can't tell whether it's one or two words. This is probably due to learning English grammar where most words are split in two. In Danish, however, we tend to put the words together. In some cases, an s or an e can be used to connect the words.
They are trying to say "rødgrød med fløde". [ˈʁɶðˀˌgʁɶðˀ mɛ ˈflø:ð]. That means red porridge with cream. You can use redcurrants, strawberries, raspberries or other red berries. You then stew the berries with sugar and potato starch and serve it with cold cream.
I've lived in Denmark for two years, and everyone I've heard say it (and have tried getting me to say it) have both said and pronounced it as two words, including grandparents. I figure, if old people say it in two words, two words should be right. They don't speak a lick of English.
and.. if you think that regular danish (copenhagen danish) is wierd you should hear the people in southern judland.. (north of germany) maan. it must be like the australian farmer dudes compared to regular english.
Lets just say im not as bad as I used to be at it, but still not like a dane of course ^^ But im taking lessons so maybe in the near future. I'll just keep practising
