What a tongue twister for non danish speaking people :D

[skrebbel]

It’s even better when you know that the proper pronunciation is essentially “soondhldlddlnl”

(Source: I speak Danish as a second language. I used to think Georgian was the language with the most consecutive consonants but then I learned how little the Danes respect their vowels so now I know better)

In English we would put spaces between parts of a "compound" word.

Sund-hed is "sound-ness" (or even "sound-hood"), i.e. health.

Yep. not putting spaces on compound words doesn't twist the tongue but twist the eyes!

In Norway this is called engelsk orddeling and is a source of gentle amusement, or occasionally outbursts of irritation.
