Not to brag but as a Swede you get really good at understanding the other Nordic languages. It's almost like an innate talent, if you will. For example: it only took me 6 45 minute long episodes of the Danish series Darkness: Those who kill (season 2) to realize that Tobias Santelmann's character was the only one speaking Norwegian, not Danish.

I've been holding onto this picture of Tom Scott for nearly a year and I've not had enough chances to use it, hopefully some of you will be able to use it when you are foiled by Nordic languages beyond the first time.

#I love their language so much #fav nordic country #Dutch is also a child of both languages but spoken by a stoned person

So I am really obsessed with having a good accent. I posted a video in which I talk in all germanic languages and a Italian or half Italian guy living in Stockholm replied I sound a bit Danish? Oookay. Honestly I am more fine with sounding Danish than sounding Italian. But I’ve been studying Swedish for far longer..?? Idk with Swedish I feel like I’m always doing smth wrong while Danish is just … speaking Danish naturally, stød guides me through. Danes would probably have plenty to comment about pronunciation mistakes I make but that’s how it feels. i am about as weird as a human being as Danish is as a language so it makes sense. I do enjoy speaking Danish so much

(Maybe the Italian accent was given for granted and he just didn’t mention it🥴)

Something that will never not be amusing to me is that in finnish, the word for seagull is lokki. And upon hearing that, my first thought was the nordic god Loki, and it’s most likely a coincidence, but it makes perfect sense to me that they’d be named after him.

I feel like we don't talk enough about how there's literally an entire episode about Finland telling us the rest of the nordics speak germanic languages and he speaks a Finno-Ugric; the episode also implies none of the others speak Finnish. which is super funny cause it means Fin can talk trash about them in front of them.

#Finno-ugric isn't even Indo-european #which bothers me for some reason bc #all the surrounding languages are Indo European like hey uhh #what happened #aph finland #hws finland #hetalia #aph nordics #hws nordics

geopolitically estonia is baltic, the estonian language is ugro-finnic; estonia isnt recognized as nordic by anyone, the tweet op probably called them that bc theyre in the north or something, or maybe bc of their bonds with finland

Ooh, thanks for the clarification and information!!

#estonia #i didnt know the language was that. very cool #i thought at first i was supposed to read it like they joined the nordic nations in legalizing gay marriage but then reread it #anon

love thinking about the nordics & how they communicate <3 u know for a FACT that denmark & sweden only speak their own language to each other out of spite. norway isn't a petty child like the rest of them, so he switches between norwegian, danish & swedish just fine! denmark speaks to him in norwegian to butter him up. iceland uses danish the most, he's a bit insecure about speaking his language in front of the others, even if most of them would understand it. norway speaks icelandic the best, and he uses it whenever he wants to get iceland to do something for him (it works 50% of the time).

sometimes when they get really excited or heated they slip into old norse without anyone realizing, and finland is just kinda there bashing his head against the wall,,, his go-to for communicating with the others is swedish. sweden only got better at finnish recently and he speaks it with the heaviest most awkward accent but it's endearing :) i love this dysfunctional family

#been thinking abt them a lot because of all the birthdays <3 my sweet boys #also the contrast with how i think of the balkans in comparison. those assholes just speak their own language and if you get it you get it #if you dont thats a you problem #except greece and ro who both had to learn some slavic language to keep up #maia talks #hws nordics
