    Heh, I was thinking of Norwegian småkake. It’s crazy how much Danish I can read in posts around here now that I’m learning bokmål Norwegian. Well, not that surprising with history, I guess, heh.

    In German, it’s diminutive, but it’s not from ‘cake’. I think it means little discs/plates or something, but it’s been a long time.

        I considered learning Danish, but thought I might start with something a bit more pronounceable (I do not have faith in mastering stød or the various sounds very quickly).

          Why would you even consider this kind of masochism? Danish is my native language, I recognize that it’s a complete mess! Anyways, the Norwegians are nice. Some of our favourite people, I would say

            Well, I went from English (a mess) to japanese (differently a mess), so there is some masochistic aspect in there.
