In Danish it's skumfidus which means foam thingie.
Literally “foam thingie”? I love that!
Am danish can confirm, it translates to "foam thingy". Never actually thought about it before lol, though a fun name indeed
What do you call the sponge you use to clean dishes?
Skuresvamp, which translates to scrubbing sponge.
Let me blow your mind: Danes don’t use a sponge for washing up. They would consider it very unhygienic and the traditional Anglo-Saxon washing up sponge as something you’d use to clean the toilet with.
Instead they use a brush on a sort of angled stick.
Hey! I'm danish, and I use a sponge!!! :)
Whaaaaaaaaa?????
I’ve literally never seen any Danes do that. Whereabouts in Denmark are you, if you don’t mind me asking?
Copenhagen
There's an imposter among us.
Danes love these explicit names. Poultry is “fjerkræ”. Literally beaked beasts.
Im sorry to correct you, but beaked beast translates to næbdyr, which is a creature of itself... typically accompanied by two creative boys, with oddly shaped heads, called phineas ans ferb.
The translation of fjerkræ is probably closer to feathered beast
