There are way more than 4 Nordic languages to pick from. Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Faroese, Icelandic, Greenlandic, Sami. Still Danish is of course the worst one.
Not sure if serious, but anyway it means “you damn smart”.
In Danish it has become a commonly known allegory used for threatening to initiate a fight over someone being provokingly clever. It started with a viral video in which two guys argue over a pocket bike.
Ahh i didnt count faroe and i only thought of the north germanic ones. Interesting mistake because i live in sweden and i myself am a finno-ugric speaker by being a native hungarian speaker.
No just a few words. I have a finnish friend who learnt some hungarian and is also a finnish teacher so sometimes he meets people who speak hungarian and are learning finnish. From him the main thing that i heard is that the grammar is similar but hungarian is more chaotic.

I’m sure there are more than that. Älvdalska comes to mind. Isn’t Sami a group of languages rather than a singular distinct language?
Ok yeah for sure. Greenlandic isn’t a singular language either I think.
Nor is Norwegian. For simplicity’s sake they bundle all the dialects together as Nynorsk.
Du’ dælme smart.
Jo tak, det siger min mor også til mig.
Undskyld hva sir du! Pft

Are there still any phrases that Finnish people say that you can clearly understand?
