RE: Steem Basic Income Giveaway (Idioms)

in #newbiegames7 years ago

what a great contest! oh there are so many great ones! Here are some of my favorite Danish idioms:

  • At have en kæp i øret = To have a log in the ear.
    means to be dead drunk!
  • Så er den ged barberet = Then the goat is shaved.
    Means to finish a job
  • Der er ingen ko på isen = there's no cow on the ice.
    Means no problem
    And just one more!
  • Det er der hunden ligget begravet = that's where the dog is burried.
    means where the problem lays

and to "go bananas " in danish is to "go cucumber" 😁

Sort:  

These are great! I would have absolutely no idea of the real meanings, and the literal ones are absolutely no help at all!

I think I'm going to try train my kids to say going cucumber instead of going nuts
