      Meanwhile, Norway spells everything exactly like it’s pronounced with no regard for grammar and here in Denmark, the only way to know whether to use “et” or “en” for a noun is to know already.

      The languages of Northern countries (including Iceland) are so weird that you’d be somewhat justified in suspecting that bigots made it that way on purpose to make life difficult for non-native people trying to learn them 😂

      I often read americans saying something like: people learning english must be really confused when they see “yacht” haha so hard, it’s pronounced different than it’s written.

      Uff yes such a hard language to decrypt

        It’s a hard language to read if you don’t know it but our syntax is simple and there’s little conjugation so it’s quite easy to learn to produce.
