Are...the citizens of Denmark referred to as Danes?

[–] ploot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (2 children)

Yes. And the language is Danish.

IIRC it was a baker couple from Wien (Vienna), that moved to Denmark and started making them. So Danes actually call danish pastry wienerbrød, meaning "Viennese bread".

.... To English speakers. We call all the different ones by their different names here

I think "Danish" is just people saying "wtf I can't pronounce Festilavnsbolle.… Okay I'll have the Danish thing"

[–] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Oh I see. I thought the people were Danish, and I never really thought about the name of their language.

Dane-ish, although the pattern doesn't really apply to the Brittish. Britons - Brittish - idk man language is hard

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 24 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I'm curious what you expected them to be referred to as.

Good enough for me! (not from Denmark btw)

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

i would place my bet on Danish

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 hours ago

Denmarkalians.

[–] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 1 points 4 hours ago

Yep, never really thought further than that.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

yes, and their dogs are great

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 12 hours ago

Certainly not toys.
