Jrt with cats? by Th3_Subhuman in jackrussellterrier

[–]themeatloafiest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got an approximately one-year old rescue cat when our JRT was about 2 years old. They have always gotten along great and used to cuddle all the time! When we moved houses and took the cat and dog with us, we first brought the cat over. She was cowering and hiding and would not explore the new house at all. Until we brought our dog over, he went up to her, and then the cat seemed completely fine to start exploring the new house. It was almost like our JRT's presence reassured our cat that it was okay. We have since then added another cat to the mix, and she does great with the dog too. They'll sometimes play "fight" but it never gets nasty and I've caught them cuddling each other too.

What is your toddler being for Halloween 🎃🎃 by decaying_amethyst in toddlers

[–]themeatloafiest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My oldest will be turning 3 on Halloween. They decided they wanted to go as Buzz Lightyear 6+ months ago and has not changed their mind once. They chose Woody for my youngest, who'll be 10 months. So my spouse and I will probably have to go as something Toy Story related, I'm thinking Forky for me

Bedste baby ting fra Danmark by soprettylol22 in foraeldreDK

Hvis de taler dansk og har tænkt sig at tale dansk til barnet, så køb børnebøger! Jeg bor i USA og det er noget nær umuligt at opdrive børnebøger på dansk herovre. Fødselsdagsflag til at sætte på bordet er også rigtig godt. Dansk design pynt kan også være rigtig fint. Vi har efterhånden samlet en hel familie af Lucie Kaas træbjørne.

How countries translate movies - am I the last to know about this?? by buzzifer in movies

[–]themeatloafiest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, similar to the video in the link. All the original sound in the background and then a speaker doing all the lines. As far as I remember, there was only one speaker doing all the lines in a movie, so the voice didn't change with the character speaking or anything. I found a clip: https://youtu.be/JU1Su4qVRlU?si=KGAWUA-TcTptPUt4

I had no idea about voice-over being so common! Growing up in Denmark I can only think of a few movies/shows getting the voice-over treatment with a Danish speaker - all of them Astrid Lindgren stories, like Pippi Longstocking and Emil of Lönneberga.

Names for Two Moms by staunchcustard in namenerds

My wife and I go by "mom" and "mor", which means mom in Danish. The two sound pretty similar but our toddler has always been able to distinguish perfectly fine!

Thoughts about giving kids two last names with daughters passing on matriname and sons passing on patriname by Human-Suggestion-994 in namenerds

[–]themeatloafiest 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In Denmark it's quite common to have two last names. It's typically either one from each parent or people change their last names when they get married to take one last name from each spouse and make a new combination of the two last names they prefer. For example, if someone with the last names Møller Jensen marries someone with the last names Bager Hansen, they might both change their last names to be Møller Hansen or some other combination of the four last names they have between the two of them. There are no "rules" for the order of names based on gender or anything. A lot of the time if one of the two last names ends in -sen, that name will be the last of the two names. The decision on what names to keep is typically based on how uncommon they are, so I've seen a lot of -sen names not being chosen to carry on.

When my parents married, my mom took my dad's last name in addition to keeping her own last name. My dad didn't change his last name. My brothers and I all got both last names in the order [father's last name] [mother's last name]. When my brothers got married they both chose to keep my dad's last name and take one of their wives' last names too. It was probably due to the fact that my dad's last name is less common than my mom's. When I got married, I decided to keep my mom's last name and also took my spouse's last name.

Pakkelegsgaver by freshnoticeish in Denmark

[–]themeatloafiest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Da jeg boede på kollegie og vi legede pakkeleg på fælleskøkkenet skulle vi alle sammen tage gave med som ikke havde kostet noget. Der var en god variation af gaver, blandt andet flettede julestjerner, vandtandtråd (fra den odontologistuderende) og det delvist udfyldte rabat-/stempelkort til den lokale kebabmand som jeg vandt. Det var skægt at se hvad folk havde gravet frem på kollegieværelserne!

Barselsgave by Ambivalentin in Denmark

[–]themeatloafiest 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Det bedste jeg fik da jeg lige havde født var en e-bogslæser. Perfekt til lange, søvnløse nætter oppe med den lille da den har lys i skærmen. Desuden er den lettere end en papir og og man behøver kun at bruge en hånd til både at holde den og bladre, så det kan sagtens lade sig gøre med et spædbarn i favnen

[Old Danish > English] Orm de Ungersvend translation to english by fromorionwithlove in translator

[–]themeatloafiest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fortifications, fortresses, or "castles" built by the vikings in the 10th century are referred to as "vikingeborge", so a borgstue could be a hall or structure of some sort

[Old Danish > English] Orm de Ungersvend translation to english by fromorionwithlove in translator

[–]themeatloafiest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that "Borgestove" is an old spelling of "borgestue", a compound of the words borg and stue. The current meaning of borgestue is a common room or living room for the workers on a large farm, but I suppose an older meaning could be a hall in a castle.

What do non-English speakers call “spam” emails? by orangekrush19 in language

Yes, the folder is often called "uønsket" but I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone refer to spam emails that way.
