  And Swedes sound like Stitch.

  Accurate though. Danish sounds legit like super drunk Swedish at a distance, and uncanny valley up close to anyone speaking Swedish or Norwegian or German.

    I have a friend who is Swedish but worked in both Sweden and Denmark for his job and I asked him if he could talk to them in Swedish and them to him in Danish and if they could understand each other and he told me mostly, but they just did it in English.

      It’s not impossible to understand Danish as a Swede but it’s different enough in terms of sounds, grammar, maths, etc. that it’s indeed like an uncanny valley. It’s close enough at first glance, but then gets really alien when you start to pay attention to it. It’s like catching snippets of a conversation in otherwise white noise.

      I have worked in Denmark too, and share your friend’s experience - both sides default to English.
