As a native Norwegian speaker, can you fully understand the Queen’s speech narrated in spoken Danish by only relying on listening skills?

  1. Very easily.

    But then, my dad is Danish so I’m used to hearing it.

  2. Yes, I understand everything. She is very clear in her speaking, which makes it easier to understand.

  3. Yes, every word. But as others have mentioned, she speaks slowly and very clear.

  4. Yes, this is closer to Norwegian articulation than most danes speak.

  5. With the exception of her numbers? Yes. (HOW many years was that again??)

  6. This was the most Norwegian sounding danish I’ve ever heard!

  7. A parody of exaggerated articulation. Almost so as to make sure Norwegians understand. She’s no street thug.

  8. No problems at all. The queen is exceptionally well articulated and she speaks slowly enough that I can hear everything easily.

  9. Not 100%, but 90% or more for sure. Worst for me is the damn numbers, they trip me up every time.

  10. Det här är ju “business-danska”, jättelätt att förstå jämfört med vardaglig danska.

  11. Yes. I wish more Danish people spoke like this, at least when meeting other Scandinavians. It would be so much easier to understand. She has a lovely well-articulated way of speaking.
