I'm pretty interested with small Scandi country Denmark🇩🇰 having a border with the largest EU country. People don't talk about it much because Germany has much more borders with large countries like 🇳🇱🇫🇷🇵🇱🇧🇪🇦🇹I heard from a teacher that the reason Danish sounds similar to German is because the proximity.

What is the overall relationship between the people and government? Are you brothers? Lot of trade and shopping between countries? Have any relatives living in Denmark or have Danish partner?

  2. im from south germany so idk but generally since the EU we are friends

  4. german flag is cooler but they talk funny… friends and eu partners

  5. Germany has a national minority of Danish speakers, who maintain their own traditions, language, culture, school and relationship to Denmark despite being in Germany. And the opposite is true in Denmark. The history and make up of Schleswig-Holstein and southern Jutland is very interesting, for such a small strip of land.

  6. Germans love to spend holidays in Denmark;) at least I do.

  7. Every weekend the Danes raid Lidl and Aldi stores in northern Germany for their cheap soft drinks.

  8. Imo good. I sometimes have phone calls with people from denmark and the people and calls are always nice.

  12. There’s a minority party in Schleswig-Holstein named SSW. They have always 1 Seat in the Bundestag. They are not subject to 5-Percent threshold.

  13. well, friendly neutral i’d say..? There’s nothing good or bad in particular i could think of, they are neighbours.

  14. We are neighbours 🙂

    We got a fence on the border though. It is supposed to keep boars on our side and protect their boars from the african boar plague. What a dumb idea, considering how smart pigs are.

    Was to Denmark twice. I like them (:

  15. My dad grew up in Schleswig, a region that’s switched back and forth between Danish and German control over several centuries through conflict and annexation. Because of the unique political history, many signs in the regions are quad lingual (German, Danish, Low German and North Frisian). Since my Father’s grandmother was Danish, 2 of my aunts were able to attend the Danish kindergarten in the town he grew up in and one of them lives in Denmark today. Even the political party that represents the Danish and Frisian minorities is exempt from the electorate threshold to maintain seats in the Landtag. In contrast to Denmark, Southern Jütland which was also under German control has a sizable (but much smaller) German minority.

    I would otherwise assume that Denmark has a warm and cooperative diplomatic relationship with Germany.

  16. If I remember right from a documentation. The German Danish border is one of the few borders which is voted by the people living in that area. Maybe it is even the only border in the world which is voted by the people (not 100% sure anymore)

  18. I love visiting Denmark and hygge 🙈. Great handball envy though 🤪

  19. They are friendly until they sit and drink together

  20. I had a girlfriend from Bolivia. We went there to visit her family. One room was sublet to a Danish student.
    My girlfriend’s bff had asked me to bring her a special brand of chocolate creme (similar to Nutella). We placed it in the fridge until we met her. She opened it — it was hollowed out. My gf and her friend thought I played a prank on them. But it was the Danish guy who had craved chocolate so much that he couldn’t resist and ate nearly all of it except a slim layer.

    If you ever have a Danish roommate: get a lock for your fridge.
