While many words in English and Danish share similar roots, spelling\u00a0and meanings, of course some others just look very similar to each other \u2014 but mean completely different things:<\/p>\n

English –> Danish:
\n===============<\/p>\n

Husk –> Skal, avne
\nRemember–> Husk<\/p>\n

Men –> M\u00e6nd
\nBut\u00a0 –> Men<\/p>\n

Fed –> Fodrede, bespiste
\nFat –> Fed<\/p>\n

Where is the danger? –> Hvor er faren?
\nWhere is the father?\u00a0\u00a0 –> Hvor er faren? [yes, it’s exactly the same as the sentence above. Further context would actually be needed to decipher the proper meaning in Danish! \ud83d\ude42 ]<\/span><\/p>\n

To stick to each other –> At kl\u00e6be sammen
\nPoke with a needle –> Stikke med en n\u00e5l \u00a0[interesting that the English verb\u00a0“stick” keeps things together, while the Danish “stik” acts as more of a separating action…]<\/span><\/p>\n

Gift –> Gave
\nMarried –> Gift
\nPoison –> Gift<\/p>\n

God is mad –> Gud er vred
\nGood ice, food –> God is, mad<\/p>\n
