Thank you. That made my night.

[AnCatDubh]

The pic won’t load anymore >:

[DrewTkd]

Then she came to Denmark

[AnCatDubh]

But the beer wouldn’t listen.

[londoncallling]

Why not 'normally' as well as 'usually'?

[mipani]

Probably because the sentence is in past tense. Years ago, she used to say "No", but now she likes beer.

[Sue416173]

I think thinknthis is wrong. Siger is present, sagde is the pas tense.

[Mr.Keko]

Because plejede is the verb in the past tense. And at sige is infinitive. The one given is as close as a word by word translation it can get.

[KyleJDahl]

Then she became married

[DnEVsM]

"Then she got married" , would be the correct English :-)

[KyleJDahl]

I never have liked that word 'got'; always sounded redneck-ish. "I got me a ten-point buck." :-))

[ElliottPet4]

Nah, it's the "me" in that sentence that makes it sound like a redneck.

How do you feel about "I got a laptop"?

[KyleJDahl]

:-/

[neurosisberg]

Mine is requiring I say "no thanks" but tak isnt present.

[LinhCao11]

Situation happens when you move to Denmark

[Eligeert]

"She'd usually say no to beer" is apparently wrong. How would you say that?

[ElliottPet4]

I believe that would be "hun ville plejede siger nej til øl", but don't quote me. Check it yourself

[keygirl24]

Not anymore!

[HuibRenes]

Beer is a bad conversational partner

[Peter654078]

But then she became Danish.

[Peter654078]

And was subsequently evicted from Denmark, until she came to her senses.
