The original was posted on /r/denmark by /u/Sugar_Vivid at 2024-02-03 08:36:33+00:00. Original Title: I’ve been in this country for a few months and daaamn the amount of people (mostly immigrants) making the joke that speaking danish is like having a potato in your mouth is painful, very annoying joke and I get to hear it every other day

koq64kfTbh this joke is pretty overused by now. In general, Danes like self deprecating humour. I think it might have to do with feeling a bit unimportant due to our small size. We rarely try to be boisterous or take pride in anything (maybe that's Janteloven at play). Sometimes it gets a bit too much, though... I mean, Ukraine is small in comparison to Russia, but still got balls. South Korea is small compared to Japan, but still got balls. In my opinion, we could probably try to be a bit more ballsy just once in a while. But then again, we are pretty comfortable where we are, so there's not motivation to go and shake things up a lot. That said, we do take pride in being a safe and cozy country!
But to be honest, Danish does not sound nice to my ears either haha... except for one time, in Mr Robot, I heard a Danish actor sing "Solen er så rød, mor". It was such a chilling scene. That was the first time Danish sounded beautiful to my ears.

koqbs8zHaha true, but it's more like a birthday symbol than a national symbol somehow. I think we only really use Dannebrog as a national symbol at sports or Royal events

koq6q5zHah great comment, but tbh when you say unimportant due to small size I think it’s fair but at the same time it seems to be one of the most developed in the world, so still it’s pretty amazing!
