minus-squarerob64@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoOkay I’m curious. With Danish being a Germanic language, how much are you benefiting from cognates and the like when making your guesses?
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoSome. Danish isn’t as closely related to German as it is to Norwegian or Swedish, but there are a lot of similarities such as similar words. Danmark is mostly an even weirder than Dutch combination of German and English 😁
