7 sieben, Bruder
5 fimm, bróðir
Made me silently count to ten to confirm. Mind expanded.
I’m still counting
Huh. Same in Dutch!
Not in German tho. Sieben
En, to, tre, fire, fem.
1000000 / 5 = 200000
Here’s the proof that Danish is 200.000 times better than English.
1 more and you learn why Swedish is superior.
In romanian, it ends at 4. Romanian is 25% better than dutch and 250000 times better than english
250000 times better than english
That’s a very low bar tho
As long as you have that ridiculous “to og en halvfjers” counting system, you do not have a superior system 😉
Haha! Yeah truth be told, our number system is completely stupid 😂
Besides the number system you got most things under control in Denmark.
You also have one of the greatest shows, Klovn 😂
Well thank you! Although I find Klovn to be too cringe for me, I do agree on the other statement, I feel incredibly lucky to be born here, where even born into unfortunate circumstances, it’s still possible to get a successful life.
Speaking as a fellow Dane, I reject your “touch lips quickly while counting” criteria for language quality, especially since English is much more versatile and universally useful for communication and thus better 😁
forget what number you’re on and say, “um”.
Found the american.
I only have to count to 5
fem?
Ja
It applies to any English-speaking country, which makes sense since it’s written in English.
Just counted out loud, one…lips touched.
That’s what I thought too, but if you google it, w sound is classified as “open mouth” sound by the experts. To me it feels like lips vibrating as sound and breath come through (lips open/close/open as they vibrate).
I guess we’re all different, my lips definitely touched when saying one. There’s got to be an outlier for everything I guess.
screw googling. try saying it yourself without touching lips.
it comes out as “oen”.
“Open sounds” (which, I assume, refers to continuants) and bilabial sounds aren’t mutually exclusive.
When you pronounce the /w/ at the beginning of “one”, your lips round (purse) and touch each other at the corners, but they don’t form a full closure. So, the oral tract is still open, but the articulators (moving mouth parts) are still touching.
This could be reworded as “the middle of your lips don’t touch each other”, but multiple commenters are correct in that your lips absolutely do touch each other when you say “one” in English.
Un, dau, tri, pedwar. Nope, they touch at what you call four.
This is my favourite shower thought post so far.
and how high did OP have to count before he touched somebody else’s lips the first time?
My lips touch when I say one.
jedem?
Mine touch at sebbin.
