Danish is very closely related to Norwegian and Swedish, and the three are generally mutually inteligble.
Danish features a distinctive pitch accent called “stød”. It can only occur on stressed syllables and has a creaky voice quality instead of a change in pitch.
Nouns have two genders ( common and neuter ) and can be singular or plural. There are no noun cases except an added -s for possession, just like in English.
Normal word order is Subject-Object-Verb.
