Reklamer <\/b>(ads) can be a great way of picking up ord og udtryk <\/b>(words and expressions). Very often, you also learn something about kulturen<\/b> (the culture). This is particularly true in Danmark<\/b>, I think. Ads here very often use humor <\/b>or ironi<\/b> or ordspil <\/b>(word-play) \u2013 remember the movie about buspassageren<\/b> (the bus passenger<\/a>)?<\/p>\n

The following three plakater <\/b>(posters) were hanging at a baneg\u00e5rd<\/b> (train station). I think they illustrate danskhed <\/b>(Danishness) in a really nice way. The product they\u2019re trying at s\u00e6lge <\/b>(to sell) is kylling <\/b>(chicken) from the firm Dansk Kylling<\/b>. Many Danes don\u2019t trust the quality of k\u00f8d<\/b> (meat) from other EU-lande<\/b> (EU countries), so the name and the ads pander a bit to that fear. Of course, you can also look positively at it: People may want to support local landm\u00e6nd<\/b> (farmers). There is even the issue of salmonella<\/b>, a grisly virus that keeps popping up in food stuff like eggs and chicken. If it\u2019s dansk<\/b> it must be safe, that seems to be the message! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Hvordan ved man om en kylling er dansk?<\/b> (How do you know if a chicken is Danish?)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2553\"<\/a>1.<\/b> Tjek om den \u00e5bner d\u00f8ren i badesandaler. <\/b>(See if it opens the door wearing slippers.) Danes are notorious for their informality; in fact a survey once found the Danes to be the most casually dressed people in the EU!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2551\"<\/a>1. Hvis den g\u00e5r til 1. maj og er lidt i tvivl om hvorfor. <\/b>(If it goes to a May 1st [rally] and is a bit in doubt as to why [it does it].) Denmark has a strong workers union tradition. The thing is, however, that nowadays most Danes live really nice lives and have only small \u201dfirst-world problems\u201d. So, people go to the \u201dsocialist day\u201d of May 1st to enjoy themselves and drink \u00f8l<\/b>\u2026<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2552\"<\/a>1. Sp\u00f8rg hvor den var den 26. juni 1992.<\/b> (Ask where it was on June 26th, 1992.) As every fodboldfan <\/b>(football\/soccer fan) knows, this was the date when Denmark beat Tyskland <\/b>(Germany), becoming European Football Champion for the first time ever. The supporter, of course, is wearing a\u00a0klaphat<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay, when you\u2019re done with step 1., the ad asks you to<\/p>\n

2. Tjek om emballagen i supermarkedet er m\u00e6rket \u201ddansk kylling\u201d.<\/b> (Check if the packing in the supermarket is marked with \u201dDanish Chicken\u201d).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
