so you can learn about other languages too...

Denmark-jin
 
Yep... I have to agree with the danish guy... I'm raised in jutland and use to say "goddaw" like a farmer girl. :o But now I live in Copenhagen and says "hey" or "hi" like a skater girl! :D
Even though Denmark is a small country, we have a lot of words... for the same things, I guess! :)

Uhm.. It's rather different, depending on where in Denmark ur from.

In Northern Jutland u basically say "Goddaw"
In Southern Jutland it's "moijn"
and in the rest of Denmark it switches around on "Hej du", "Goddag" and "hey"
XD
