French hiphop is good, melodic and versatile sounding language, alot of quality artists. I listen to many European countries hiphop music for variety sake. And most off putting is German hiphop.

Just too harsh and guttural sounding language for music (unless its Xatar ). Swedish rap has similar sound, even if softer then German, its a germanic language tree so it sounds weird in that context
Speaking of Germanic languages - is it true Swedes think Danish sounds like a throat disease?

I heard Norwegians thinking the same. Remembering from holidays in Spain how many Brits thought we were Dutch. :shifty:

Haha I imagine. Thats how we feel about norwegians too when reading it, it looks like danish where the person wrote it wrong. Swedish on text is understandable for us but still too different to understand everything.

Norwegian is usually easier to understand than Swedish, but maybe it’s different for someone coming from Copenhagen as they’re more in touch with you than someone like me who’s from the Jylland peninsula, it’s the land connected to Germany.

Swedish is easy. I have 3 colleagues from Sweden, they speak Swedish at work and I have no problem understanding them.

Danish on the other hand is much harder to understand, like Osman described: sounds like you have fish stuck in your throat.

I had no idea we have so many Scandinavians here.

No wonder this place is fucked up.
Yes, those peeps are weird. They think they are vikings like their ancestors but they act like faggots. I guess they are just a good example of the modern world. :snoop:

Danish sounds like drunk Swedish people were trying to speak French.

You can speak to me in German and I will understand it relative well but it's much harder for me to speak it. A lot of the words are similar to Danish words (both Germanic languages as talked about yesterday), but the way you Germans build up a sentence is different to us - along with other differences.

But still you're able to tell they're similar in some cases.

Danish is easily the best of the scandinavian languages. In fact it's the only one that sounds like an actual language. Swedish sounds, for lack of a better word, silly. The language is incapable of showing anger, hostility, passion, fear etc. Norwegian is basically incorrect Danish and Finnish.. well :lol:
