    Haha is it insulting that this thread for some reason only has three stars out of five?
  • edited June 2009
    Yeah, someone gave the thread a one-star rating, so I had to give it a five star rating to even the score out.
  • edited June 2009
    Lille mig er også dansk :)

    And how do we rate??
  • edited June 2009
    I find it interesting how much if this topic I understand. I guess my Swedish is better than I thought it was, if I get the idea of the Danish and Norwegian as well.

    You can rate a thread by clicking the rating drop down box above the first post in the thread. It's on the right hand side.

    Ah yes I see it now, thank you :)

    Or as we would say:
    Nåh ja, der er den, tak :)

  • edited June 2009
    I'm visiting Oslo, Stockholm, Hellsinki and Copenhagen during a cruise in the summer, and I was wondering, are there anythings that I need to try food and drink wise? Or perhaps sights that have to be seen?
    I'm only in each city for a day, mind.
  • edited June 2009
    you should go to a hardcore or emo show. oh and in Oslo, try not to get shot. they do that a lot down there.

    food-wise, there's always the kebabs. they are really good.
  • edited June 2009
    Carlsberg, I have heard its good, although not my favorite. I like Tuborg better. Both are lager though. Maybe try Tuborg Classic or just ask for a classic beer. Since I dont remember if that one is Carlsberg or Tuborg. Same company anyway.

    Tuborg is a danish beer, and so is Carlsberg, but they Carlsberg all over Scandinavia.
  • edited June 2009
    Tuborg is awful. get Odin. it's Danish as well, but it's everywhere.

    In Helsinki I would recommend seeing Suomenlinna fortress, it was once said that it's Gibraltar of the North. It's fifteen minutes ferry ride from the centre. Also you should see Senate Square, where is statue of the emperor Alexander II, Helsinki Cathedral, University and the Palace of the Council of State. It's shows 19th century monumental architecture. There's also Sederholm's house which was built by rich merchant in 1757 and it's oldest surviving building in the city centre.

    Then there's also Uspenski Cathedral which is largest Orthodox church in the Nordic Countries. It was built by the Russians.

    And you should taste the Finnish beer, it's better than Swedish beer.

    If you're looking for good Norwegian beer, get Dahls if you can find it. CB and Hansa is also quite good.

    Nordmann her! Vi overtaket skjønner jeg.

    Virker sånn, ja. Dere må skaffe dere avatarer, da.. blir så anonymt uten :eek:
  • edited June 2009
    Cheers for the feedback. I've tried CB, got two cans in my fridge, though I don't think it's as good as a traditional ale. Though I shall definitely try some of these others mentioned, beer is a good taste of culture ;)
    And no doubt I'm going to have to come back to Scandinavia, there sounds to be a lot to do in Hellsinki alone, that a day wouldn't be enough.
    And is it true that learning one scandinavian language should help me in all countries (barring Finland). I have a Danish course on CD.

    Small minority of Finns speak Swedish as their first language and majority of Finns learn it at school. Many Finnish speakers probably understand what you say in Swedish, even if they don't know how to answer properly. And everyone knows some English, which is also taught in schools. Danish is hard for us to understand unless you speak slowly.

    It's somewhat true :)
    You'll get a long way if you learn danish, because most of the words are similar to swedish and norwegian - with a few exceptions.
    Mind you, that is the written language I speak about - the way it's pronounced varies a great deal :D
  • edited June 2009
    Danish sounds like a speech disorder to me :D

    But it's probably the same for Danish people hearing Norwegian.
    They're quite different in how they're pronounced.
  • edited June 2009
    Is this moreso than different dialects in English? Such as sometimes I have trouble understanding southerners and Londoners to hear in their pronunciation.
  • edited June 2009
    Yes, it's totally different from dialects within a country.

    But I have to say, I understand norwegian better than swedish - think maybe because the way it's pronounced is closer to danish. :)

    The funy thing though, is that in denmark we have an island called Bornholm, where the spoken danish, among some, is closer to swedish.
    But then again, at the south border to germany, they have a dialect close to german :D

    To get back to what this forum is about - I pretty much played my way through all these great games without anyone to share it with.
    It felt as I was the only one here, that played adventure games or games in generel :)

    It is Helsinki, not HELLsinki. ;)

    I think you actually do better in Finland with English than trying using scandinavian languages. While Sweden is the official second language of Finland, most people do not speak it well. Instead many people speak English quite fluently. So you are more likely to get understood with English, especially among young people. Of course knowing few words in Finnish will can be helpful, like saying thank you (=kiitos).

    Have a wonderful trip!

    I guess norway owe us some stars after the european song contest - so please start rating this thread :)

    Trying to survive in Scandinavia with Danish alone will go something like this.

    But yeah, speak slowly and you'll get by in both Norway and Sweden (easier in Norway). Though on the other hand, you'll get by just as well using only English, since most young people in Scandinavia are fluent in English and most older people - while not fluent - are able to communicate in English.

    I'm also from Finland, btw.
