What a lovely language.

That's one of the reasons why the Americans get boners every time they hear it. Must be something subconscious....

Danish is a really good language to talk with a gay lisp in!

(tailen told me that too.. yeah)

Hell, I could scream, "Ich mag' Dich gern, und Du bist mein Freund!" at the top of my lungs ("I like you a lot, and you are my friend") at some unsuspecting person who didn't speak the language, and they'd cower.

I wonder what's Danish for, "Sthuper!"

Actually the Danish military used German as the official language for officers when commanding their troops, because it's extremely good at yelling stuff in.

They only changed the military language to Danish after the 1st World War.

I think Japanese is a looooot worse like that. It always sounds like they're about to tear your head off. Asian languages are generally not made for whispering. You can't pronounce them properly if you lower your voice, at least German isn't that bad.

And now instead of yelling at their troops, they send them soft, warm, assuring commands of affection.

Danish: "Skal stå på tær, det tror jeg alle kunstnere skal så det er ikke blevet synes du selv det? værre efter akademiet!"

Translation: "Hey sweetums, would you mind twirling that big gun of yours a few times for me? That would be great!"

I <3 The Danish!

For some reason, I read that as "assuring commands of erection".

Draw your own conclusions about my state of mind.
