I have learned to pronounce my first Danish word! The word is "hyldeblomst," and it is a type of lightly carbonated beverage made with elderflowers. It’s very similar to Amé. Simply stated, it’s a flower soda. I’m very proud of myself. I said it to a waitress in a restaurant and she actually understood! This is the first time I’ve spoken Danish that a Danish person has known what the hell I was talking about. I should add the caveat: I’m actually not sure if I’m pronouncing it correct, but the extremely low bar I’ve set for myself is being understood by a Danish person.
My favorite Danish soda, Hyldeblomst.
