this language is so dumb, but im actually learning it faster than spanish (which ive been learning since first grade)

im bored so im learning danish, as one does

all i gotta say is WTF IS GOING ON with this language???

there are two ways to say the word “a”??!?

“d” has an “l” sound?????

“r” sometimes sounds like a mix between “w” and “g”???????

im dying istg what how do you danes live like this 😭

good morning. have a hannibal i drew earlier

no tv show will ever be able to resolve a m/m/f love triangle as perfectly and as weirdly as Hannibal, in which the woman kisses one of the guys, sleeps with the other one, then decides "actually, never mind, you're both awful!" and marries a rich lesbian instead - and, while this is all going on, the guys develop a weird homoerotic obsession with each other culminating in them going off a cliff together. truly unhinged and unmatched

not enough people talk about Southern will graham enough.! maybe i'm more passionate about it bc im from the south but i barely see anybody on the southern will graham agenda as if it isn't canon!!!! let my boy say ya'll

I really enjoy the danish names for some fairly common animals.

What you mean it's called a platypus??? That is insane.

Clearly, it is a beakanimal.

"But Theo, what about all the other animals with beaks?"

Fuck 'em.

And lizard??? There's a whole "z" just in the middle of it like that? No.

Fourlegs. That's what it is. A fourlegs.

"But Theo, what about all the other animals with four legs?"

Fuck 'em.

I am sure we can all agree, however, that skunks are stinkanimals and sloths are lazyanimals.
