I’m so sorry we didn’t learn, George.
#I mean yeah literally this is often how it happens#Humans don't learn shit from experience#Especially not ppl in 4th world countries who know nothing about basic world history#🤷♀️

the way scandinavians modify their language when around another scandinavian group is absolutely fascinating linguistically
swedes who live in denmark often learn to say numbers in danish, for example. and there are words and expressions they’d use with swedes but not with danes. even though they’re still more or less speaking swedish, they are modifying how they speak it to be easier for danes to understand
similarly, when danes interact with swedes or norwegians in service work or abroad, some construct numbers the way you do in swedish or norwegian so it’s easily understandable. we don’t straight up say them in that language, we just apply their method to the danish words
eg for seventy: syvti (da, lit. seven-ten) instead of halvfjerds (actual danish word for seventy), but not sjuttio (sw, lit. seven-ten) or sytti (no, lit. seven-ten).
I also noticed in Skam that the danish hotel worker uses “vældig” a lot, which is not the usual word to use in danish, but “veldig” is the usual word to use in norwegian, so again you have this modification of how we speak our language even while we’re still speaking it

“i don’t block people just because of a difference of opinion” cool i do
#Always reblog this#Mainly because people need to understand that no one owes you their time or attention#Blocking someone isn't a loss#It's simply a “i can't be bothered with this”
