Just found out the word "by" ('city', but keep reading) is associated with bigger settlements in #Norwegian than in #Danish - and then NRK just wrote a related article!

In Denmark, you just need 200 citizens for a "by" (legally). While a prototypical one is bigger, a small one is still a "by", but may just be a "landsby" ('town/village', the first part means 'country').

Norway has no automatic "by"-status, but it can be granted to places usually with 5000+ citizens 🏘️

SCOOP: Unhinged #potus admin is studying the cost of a #Greenland takeover, long in Trump’s sights despite outrage from Denmark and other allies. Trump is obsessed with Greenland. The cost analysis is being done for Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, by staff in the office’s International Affairs Division.

“The point is, ‘We’ll pay you more than Denmark does.’ Fascist republicans plan to bribe Greenlanders to allow US take over.

The American Action Forum, a right-wing think tank: “Right now, we only have one location where we can monitor what goes on in the North Atlantic, and that’s Iceland. Greenland would give you that plus shipping routes with the polar ice caps receding — that’s a more strategic location,” said Doug Holtz-Eakin, group’s president.

Do you know the story of #Jagdvej69 in #Copenhagen? It was build as a #socialist #FolketsHus 1897. 1910 a international womens Conference of decided for the #internationalwomensday in this building.
1982 it was #squatted and became the @Ungdomshuset . 2007 it was evicted after it had been bought by an #evangelikal sect.
So for 18 years now the #Ground69 is empty.

I am thinking about working on a #book about this building in #german. I don't speak #danish. My first Idea was to translate this one: search.worldcat.org/de/title/k
But maybe it would be good to have a new concept.
If you are interested in the Idea and maybe could help, please contact me. Actually, I am in Copenhagen till tomorrow.

Continued thread

The first third of the book is a grammar, organized by word class. It's clearly an older version of #Danish: it uses "eder", not "jer" for 2nd person plural and verbs have a plural form. A lot of terminology also seems outdated or funky (pluperfect is the "long gone time"). He uses both "intransitive" and "untransitive" in seemingly inconsistent ways. The verb chapter mostly lists verb forms. Examples don't contain more women; the word "hun" (she) is left out when space is small
