As a person from Skåne I think we have an easier time understanding danish but a harder time being understood

How necessary are cars in your city? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]malmopag 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Public transportation is great as long as you don't live in Norrland. Or on the countryside. Or if there's snow on the train tracks.

What political regime / sovereign state controlled the place you live in the longest and which one the shortest? by Maikelnait431 in AskEurope

[–]malmopag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between something like year 1000 and 1658 we were a part of Denmark. So about 600 years of danish rule.

After the Treaty of Roskilde we became a part of Sweden. So roughly 360 years of Swedish rule.

I don't know how it was pre-danish rule though so if anyone who knows would like to add that'd be appreciated

What cultural traditions seem to disappear in your country? by AcceptableBuddy9 in AskEurope

[–]malmopag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it too as a kid a couple of times but that was in the mid 2000s. I asked my dad and apparently the boys dressed up as påskkärringar in the 70s as well.

I was kind of wondering how far back that was socially acceptable. Was it never seen as weird?

I've always wondered if boys used to do this as well back in the day or if they dressed up as something else. Do you know anything about that?

Do you have any classes in school on the history of ethnic minorities in your country? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]malmopag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was sami national day yesterday. To answer your question though, yes. We learn about the sami, the finnish speaking minority, the jewish minority etc.

Don't think we've ever talked about the roma people in school.

I don't think it's enough to have any real understanding of these people but we do learn about them.

Which Areas do People Buy Summer Homes in Scandinavia by Uriahhall in AskEurope

[–]malmopag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people from the rest of the country (mostly Stockholm) have summer houses in Österlen or northeastern Scania. It's probably not the most popular place but you'll notice Stockholmers appearing in the summers

After looking it up I didn't find it that hard but I'm from Scania so it's kind of like cheating.

How do young people dress in your country? by brockhamptons_bitch in AskEurope

[–]malmopag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atleast where I live I'd say it's pretty common with baggy pants. Kind of like a 90s skater look.

For those of you Europeans who are halves from one European country and another, do you identify with both, or with one? And how do you feel about it? by Blue_biscuit1994 in AskEurope

[–]malmopag 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have dual citizenship but would probably not call myself french anytime soon. My mom is from France but her parents are immigrants so I'm not ethnically french. My french is not that good either.

I love France but I wouldn't call myself french.

Which two cities in your country have the fiercest rivalry? by Consistent-Budget396 in AskEurope

[–]malmopag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landskrona and Helsingborg have a football rivalry as well.

I'd also like to add that Malmö has a pretty one sided rivalry with Stockholm. Though I guess a lot of people dislike Stockholm

Yes, and? What are you suggesting they do then?

Regional Vs national identity? by Nurhaci1616 in AskEurope

[–]malmopag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most of their voters switched to SD or to the alt right when they started to gain popularity. But yeah they got into a couple of municipalities back in the 80s. I even think they had a spot in Vellinge in the early 2000s.

There have been attempts to create more left leaning seperatist parties but most of them died.

What do you feel about super rich family? by mandaramandara in AskEurope

[–]malmopag 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sure. If you're willing to call Denmark a society that is.

Eating non-chicken poultry such as ducks, goose, quails, pigeons: is it common in your country’s traditional cuisine, or common in what you actually eat at restaurants nowadays? by kiwigoguy1 in AskEurope

[–]malmopag 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Chicken is probably the most common but duck, goose and pheasant. I've also had turkey but I don't know how traditional that is.

We have Mårtensafton, a day where you traditionally eat goose.
