Dear 2z students
I´m a Dane, but what makes me a Dane? Is it my Danish passport or is it the fact that I live in Denmark?
Is nationality something you are born with or something you are able to choose?
What do you think?
What makes us Danish? - The traditional food - Language – the only country that speaks it - Our look – hair and skin - Well-fare and free education - A small community - Common history - The Danish traditional music, literature, church.
To be Danish is to speak the language and to be a Danish citizen. You will have to know something about the Danish history. There is free education in Denmark. And you will have to try some of our traditional Danish food like Danish meet balls and patty shell.
What makes you Danish? To us it is the word "hygge"! "Hygge" is to sit on the couch watching soccer, eating cake and just be together with your friends or family. To bike to every place you want to go even in rainy weather (which it often is)! To dance around the tree at Christmas and eat brown sauce, potatoes and flæskesteg. Besides that frikadeller, risengrød, rødgrød med fløde and boller is very danish! :)
Denmark is a country with many traditions. It is a country well-known for its eating habits, "smørrebrød", "frikadeller", "flæskesteg", etc. is typically Danish dishes. The term "hygge" is also something you only find in Denmark. The Danish people has a high level of activity, we bike to school, run and do sports in our spare time. The school-system is free and we have a great welfare-system, which results in good education and healthcare.
For me the color of skin or religion does not decide if you are "Danish" or not. If you live in Denmark and is a Danish citizen, you are Danish. It is important that immigrants are willing to assimilate and take part in the Danish culture and some of our Danish traditions. I think it is important to get the newcomers into work, so they can contribute to the society.

SvarSletBeing Danish is when you have traditions like raising the Danish flag on birthdays and celebrating Christmas Eve the 24th of December :D

- Patty shell blev slået op som tarteletter
SvarSletWe are looking very much forward to be confirmed, it is a very big day in Denmark.
SvarSletIt is difficult to define what makes you Danish, but if you can say “rødgrød med fløde” you have come a long way.
