controversiaster Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Don't worry Faith, that dodgy angle made me think it wasn't him either! But thank goodness that it IS him in the photo, woo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munichmarty Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 For all who decided to visit Mathias and like to talk with him. Here´s your first Danish lesson! Still very important: Jeg elsker dig! I you ! Introduction to the Danish language Introduktion til det danske sprog Danish, the official language of Denmark, is spoken by over 5 million people. It is a germanic tongue, which means it is closely related to English and German. It becomes obvious when one gets to know some Danish vocabulary, eg. come (Eng.) = komme (Dan.) = kommen (Ger.), bring (Eng.) = bringe (Dan.) = bringen (Ger.). As a nordic language, it is very similar to Swedish and Norwegian. The knowledge of any of the above mentioned languages is a big help in learning Danish, and in the case of the two latter mutual understanding without prior learning is often possible. The Danish alphabet differs slightly from the Latin one. There are three additional letters (found at the end of alphabet -- remember about it browsing a dictionary or a phone directory!) They are Æ æ as in "forældre" (parents) -- a ligature of "a" and "e". Indicates a monophtong (a single vowel). Ø ø as in "rød" (red) -- a "crossed o". Å å as in "et år" (a year) -- an "a with a ring above it." Before the spelling reform in 1948 the sound was written as "aa". Such spelling is preserved in some names, eg. Aalborg = Ålborg The Danish grammar is not difficult, especially for a speaker of a Germanic language, who is already familiar with the concept of articles, sequence of tences, etc. The most difficult thing about the language is its pronunciation. Pronunciation Vowels A: as in 'father' E: a short, flat 'e' as in 'met' E(g): as the 'i' in 'high' I: a short, flat 'e' as in 'met'; as the 'i' in 'marine' O: a short 'o' as in 'pot'; as the 'a' in 'walk'; as the 'oo' in 'zoo' O®: as in 'or' but with little emphasis on the 'r' O(v): as the 'ow' in 'vow', but shorter U: as in 'pull'; as the 'oo in 'zoo' U(n): as the 'a' in 'walk' Y: a long, sharp 'u' ? purse your lips and say 'ee' Consonants B: as in 'box' C: as in 'cell' Ch: as in 'cheque', but sharper (o)d: as the 'th' in 'these' g: before vowels, a hard 'g' as in 'get' h: as in 'horse' j: as the 'y' in 'yet' k: as in 'kit' ng: as in 'sing' r: a rolling 'r' abruptly cut short sj: as the 'sh in 'ship w: as the 'v' in 'Volkswagen' Greetings Hello: Goddag/Hej (pol/inf) Goodbye: Farvel Yes: Ja No: Nej Thank you: Tak Excuse me: Undskyld May I/Do you mind?: Ma jeg/Tillader De? Small Talk What's your name?: Hvad hedder du? My name is ...: Jeg hedder ... Where are you from?: Hvorfra kommer du? I'm from ...: Jeg kommer fra ... How old are you?: Hvor gammel er du? Times & Dates What time is it?: Hvad er klokken? It's ? o'clock.: Klokken er ? Today: i dag Tomorrow: i morgen Day after tomorrow: i overmorgen In the morning: om morgenen In the afternoon: om eftermiddagen In the evening: om aftenen Early: tidlig Numbers Zero: nul One: en Two: to Three: tre Four: fire Five: fem Six: seks Seven: syv Eight: otte Nine: ni Ten: ti Food & Drink Breakfast: morgenmad Lunch: frokost Dinner: middag Menu: spisekort Daily special: dagens ret Curry: karry Soup: suppe Meat: kod Lamb: lamme Beef: oksekod Chicken: hons Turkey: kalkun Fish: fisk Tuna: tunfisk Salmon: laks Cucumber: agurk Mushroom: champignon Vegetables: grontsager Carrots: gulerodder Garlic: hvidlog Potatoe: kartoffel Onion: log Corn: majs Olive: oliven Apricot: abrikos Pineapple: ananas Orange: appelsin Banana: banan Lemon: citron Fruit: frugt Cream: flode Cheese: ost Butter: smor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munichmarty Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 According to Dansk daily there will be a editoral of 40 pages of Mathias in the ( next) another man - magazine!!!!!!!!! There was never such a big editoral in that magazine of a male model before. They sell the magazine at the central station here in Munich !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew Mathias is someone very special when I saw a picture of him for the first time :heart: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controversiaster Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Omg, is it just me or is Danish harder than German???? Please tell me they don't have 3 genders for their nouns and also those superbly annoying DIFFERENT endings for the definite and indefinite articles, and also for Nom, Akk, Dat and Gen endings... Lol, but I still love German! Ahahah Munichmarty, we should get learning!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controversiaster Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 OH MY GOODNESS, I hope wherever I end up for Uni will have a decent magazine shop that will sell that magazine! I am willing to pay at least 5 pounds for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munichmarty Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 If this picture is really taken backstage at Bruuns Bazaar last week, Kopenhagen must be near the Nort Pole or why is he wearing a leather jacket and a scarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
