Interesting ~ thanks ~ I thought it had been named by the ancient Indo-Europeans (who spoke something more like modern Latvian) who came through there, not the more modern Norse.
Sometimes the same sound values will have dramatically different meanings in different, even different but adjacent, languages.
Danish is a relatively simple language from the case point of view. Conjugation is easy for most verbs and that is the key. If you memorize about forty or fifty verbs and their conjugation you will have the written language down for sentence structure. Problem is the spoken language which is guttural and quite hard to hear. Plus all regions are influenced by neighboring countries. In southern Jylland the language is similar in many ways to old English. An interesting thing is any town in England whose name ends in by was at one time a Norse village as by translates to town or village which dates back to the Vikings.
You can add all of this to your gee whiz file. If you are ever in southern Utah come and visit and we'll serve up all the Danish food you can handle in addition to a bit of Akvavit!
