Jeg ville oversætte "Jo" til "Yeah", og så "Ja" til "Yes".

I would translate "Jo" to "Yeah", and then "Ja" to "Yes"

[dalsgaard12]

I see your point. But how would you translate 'Jo' in these instances:

"Det virker jo fint!"

"Jaja, men saadan er det jo"

"Jamen det giver jo ingen mening".

The word 'jo' is a strange one when you think about it. It's hard to point out excactly what it means, it means a lot of things depending on the context.

[dalsgaard12]

And then of course there is the old saying 'Jo flere jo bedre'.

That's best translated as 'The more the merrier'.

Great video.

I've seen a few Danes joke around with the Swedish "Tack så mycket", by saying "Tak så meget", which obviously is just some kind of joke, but it leads me to believe that Mange tak is one of those things that would translate to "Many thanks" in English, but if it's used casually then the direct translation would be closer to "Thanks so much"?

Kind of confusing myself now haha.

Also can you not shorten Godmorgen to Go'mor'n when writing?

[dalsgaard12]

I wrote a lengthy reply, but appearently Youtube decided it was'nt worth posting - so here I go again. :)

Yes, I believe 'Mange tak' is better translated as 'Thank you very much', when said casually. That's very observant of you!

Some people write "Go'morn", or just "Morgen". "Go'mor'n" is'nt that common because of the extra apostrophe at the end.
