Examples that Danish is the most confusing language for English speakers:
In Denmark, when washing machines are done, their displays write, "Slut!", which means "Finished".
When someone enters an elevator, the display changes to "I fart", which means "On the move".
Tourists have difficulty finding a nice WC, because the signs often say "Bad toilet", meaning "Bathroom and toilet".
In lobbies with multiple elevators, one sign may say, "Gods elevator", which means "Freight elevator".

@randahl Imagine a washing machine displaying "Slut!" in an Anglophone country.

@brianjohnson @randahl Haha - that one had never occurred to me. How disappointed they must be when they open the door and find cleaning cloths and biros.

@Gupperduck @randahl
WRT street signs, I love the French “Rappel” (remember the speed limit), which means about “tantrum“ or “to rattle” in German.@fiee @Gupperduck @randahl well this reminds me of French street signs "SAUF" which translates to "except(ion)" and in German it could be interpretation as "you, drink/booze!"

I’m learning Danish as an English and French speaker and the “half of score(20) or 2 hands plus a number” mental model took some time to get used to - 😬!

@randahl@mastodon.social the hardest is the pronounciation, honestly swedish and even norwegian have a lot of the silly-sounding-in-english words too
i tried to explain to a native english speaker how like "Københavns Hovedbanegård" or "Hvis jeg kunne" is actually pronounced and they were just stunlocked for a few seconds -
