In my throat??? I'd prefer to have it my mouth and not choke to death lol
Anyhow, you Norwegians have a way of bouncing the intonation up and down, and that doesn't suit us Danes cos we don't really have any intonation.
He he, it's what we used to say when we were younger, that Danish was like norwegian, only you had to pronounce it like you had a potato in your throat, oh and that you have silly words like kartoffel and a funny way of pronouncing 70 and 80. I like Denmark tho, used to spend my childhood summers there. |

I've only been to Norway twice but I liked it :o)
And yes, Norwegian and Swedish numbers are somewhat more logic. I was once explained the logic of the Danish numbers but really, I only find it easier cos it's the way I'm used to saying it... |

it's not that difficult, you use a 20 number system, while we use a 10 number system |

Above the polar circle, yes :)
Sometimes during the winther you can see it as far south as Oslo (maybe even further south?). I was so lucky to see it this winter, amazing! |

I know it's got something to do with that but it does take a while to connect 'halvfjerds' and 'firs' to twenty. Then again, I'm hopeless with math! |

This is embarassing. You're Norwegian and understand the Danish number system better than me. But yeah, you're 100% right! |
