WHY DO DANES SAY F**K SO MUCH? The F Word Culture Shock in Denmark
#denmark #cultureshock #dansk
In this video, you'll learn about one culture shock in Denmark that may surprise you. If you're moving to Denmark or already living there, you can expect to hear the F word much more often than your home country. But why is that so? Why do Danes love to use profanity from the English language? How did the F bomb come to dominate slang and curse words from the Danish language to rule supreme?
Derek explores the reasons why you might commonly hear Danes using the F word in almost all settings. There are some obvious reasons why Danes curse a lot, but the reason why they lean so heavily on an English curse word may surprise you.
Derek breaks down a few things about the word itself that makes it fit so nicely into both English and Danish sentences. He also explains the cultural reasons why a word like the F bomb can be absorbed and sued by non-native English speakers more often than English speakers. And we examine how the use of profanity in media has a more impactful effect on Danes and Nordic viewers than native English-speakers.
