“Is” Please

Like I said, Copenhagen was cold! But we did brave the winds in order to see the statue of Hans Christian Andersen’s Little Mermaid. Everyone repeated reminded us that she is a LITTLE mermaid. I would venture to add a cold one from the looks of it… Can’t really imagine Ariel sitting comfortably in that environment.



(Is in Danish means Ice Cream, and there actually isn’t any word for please just a long phrase that you have to change depending on what you say. But Andreas said he mixed English and Danish sometimes… and that was a more common team. We actually got to take a Danish class to learn the alphabet, which has several different pronunciations of O and U which can change a word to so many strikingly different meanings. Andreas made sure to teach me how to say Jeg er igge fjourten, but that’s a long story that’s too embarrassing to put on a blog.)
