I’m sure there are more than that. Älvdalska comes to mind. Isn’t Sami a group of languages rather than a singular distinct language?

Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 2 months agoThere are way more than 4 Nordic languages to pick from. Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Faroese, Icelandic, Greenlandic, Sami. Still Danish is of course the worst one.

Ok yeah for sure. Greenlandic isn’t a singular language either I think.

Nor is Norwegian. For simplicity’s sake they bundle all the dialects together as Nynorsk.

Ahh i didnt count faroe and i only thought of the north germanic ones. Interesting mistake because i live in sweden and i myself am a finno-ugric speaker by being a native hungarian speaker.

Are there still any phrases that Finnish people say that you can clearly understand?
AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
No just a few words. I have a finnish friend who learnt some hungarian and is also a finnish teacher so sometimes he meets people who speak hungarian and are learning finnish. From him the main thing that i heard is that the grammar is similar but hungarian is more chaotic.

Not sure if serious, but anyway it means “you damn smart”.
In Danish it has become a commonly known allegory used for threatening to initiate a fight over someone being provokingly clever. It started with a viral video in which two guys argue over a pocket bike.
