"Afdelingen"

Translation: The department

[steven.van4]

Cool! This is exactly the same word as we have in Dutch :)

[Blockhause]

Yes, but afdelingen would mean 'departments' rather than 'the department'. But it is still fun to see familiar words in another language!

[octavi.ers]

it was a great surprise to learn how the letters AF- becomes the sound "OU" (as in "hOUse") so I was compelled to check it out in several translators, and voilà c'est vrai !! Does anyone know other astounding related words with "af" , please? tak!!

Not sure if it's what you meant, but here is a video (in Danish) with some words that change their sound if they're at the beginning of a compound noun

[rrbrambley]

Danish sounds/pronounciation continue to blow my mind.

[ghksgml0712]

Is afdeling interchangeable with lejlighed?

[Xneb]

"Afdeling" is a department, "lejlighed" is a flat/apartment, so no, they aren't interchangeable, but I can see where the confusion is coming from

[scarlett_7]

why d has a sound here :s i though we dont pronounce all d in danish..

[RyagonIV]

D's at the beginning of the word or the syllable are usually pronounced. But establishing pronounciation rules for Danish would be a daunting task, it appears.

Has anyone here watched "Afdeling Q?"
