Talk:Danish proverbs


 * I have deleted the "W" entry, because w is not part of the Danish alphabet.
 * technically speaking we have the letter W. But we do not use it in native danish words (we do use it in waders, waldorfsalat and walesbolle (a type of pastery))


 * I have not changed various interpretations although I would argue that some of them are imprecise
 * I have changed some that are clearly wrong

Made up (or extremely uncommon ones)
I am a native dane and have never heard any of the following ones.

I have tried to google them but haven't gotten any quality links.

I believe they are either made up or have been lost to time.


 * Børst ikke tænder før du har åbnet munden
 * Græsset bliver ikke brændt i skyggen, om sommeren
 * Kryds ikke vejen når du ikke kan finde ud af køkkenet

Quotations needing Danish original

 * Nearest the king, nearest the gallows.
 * Danish proverb, in A Book of Proverbs, edited by Raymond Lamont_Brown (1970), p. 135

English Quotes
There are an awful lot of English quotes on this page, considering that this is a page for Danish proverbs. I get that some of the quotes are related to the general idea behind the idioms they're listed under, but they're cluttering up the page. Is there any reason we shouldn't delete them?

I have removed and trimmed a lot of quotes on the page. I hope you like the article better now! Spannerjam (talk) 07:39, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
