message: In this context, "kæmper"" means warriors, from "at kæmpe", to fight.

replies: text: Kæmper definetly refers to warriors in this context. Yes, it usually means giants in -modern- danish, but it may just as well be used to mean warrior, even today. "En kæmpe" is always one giant, but when used in plural it may be either -- only the context (and a healthy knowledge of how Danes actually speak) will reveal what is meant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.130.79.38 (talk) 15:19, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

message: I was thinking about adding some information on the competion for the national anthem. Originally Oegenslager didn't participate, and another song called "Danmark, Danmark, Danmark" won, but the song was so widely disliked that the managers asked Oegenslager directly to contribute a song, and then pronounced it the new winner.  I am just not sure were to put it, or if there are any online references to the story. Carewolf (talk) 10:22, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the "literal" translation contain several errors: the first and second stanzas, for example, is translated as
    There is a lovely country
    it stands with broad beeches
    near the salty eastern beach :|
    It winds itself in hill, valley,
    it is called old Denmark
    and it is Freja's hall :|
This should be
    There is a lovely country
    it stands with broad beeches
    near salty eastern beach :|
    It winds itself in hill, valley,
    it's name is old Denmark
    and it is Freja's hall :|
Personally, I would prefer
    There is a lovely country
    it stands with broad beeches
    near salty eastern beach :|
    It winds itself in hill, valley,
    it's name is old Denmark
    and it is the hall of Freja :|
but both are equally valid.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.130.79.38 (talk) 15:26, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

message: There are two typographical errors in the transcription of the melody. The second note of both the sixth and seventh bars should be a G-sharp, not an F-sharp. It would make no sense to have a notated accidental F-sharp when F-sharp is in the key signature, and I have verified the actual melody here.  and here, where it is available for free download.

message: Following on from discussions on User talk:SUM1#Danish IPA, I understand that certain elements like stops must be transliterated a certain way. However, the issue remains that perfectly reasonable fixes keep getting reverted in the IPA. Number one is, as I elaborated on User talk:SUM1#Danish IPA, the key simply cannot account for all use cases. It's supposed to be a guide, and that's highlighted here when we are dealing with a song. Every performance of the song rings out a full [ən] in the word salten, not [sæltn̩]. This, and fixes like this, cannot be retained for the sake of sheer accuracy. Just listen to performances, like this. There is also no reason to revert syllable breaks, especially in a song. · • SUM1 • · (talk) 08:28, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
