Danish translation?

I forget which one of you guys understands Danish (if I did, I would have PM\'d instead of posting this.)

I started having an interest in the Danish royal family and am having a hard time, just gathering information about the current members of the family.

I found this site with a bunch of old articles and am interested in what this particular one says, especially what Princess Alexandra is saying in the little clip.

So a little help, please?   Thanks much for taking the time if you do decide to translate it.  (I wouldn\'t mind a summary either.)

That would be me! Thanks for remembering... .

Hehe, just kidding. I\'ll get on it in a bit and post a summary for you.

Princess Alexandra is almost Alexfantastic (amazingly bad pun -Samwise). She didn\'t seem at all stressed by neither birth or the fact, that she was meeting the Danish press.

Of course prince Joachim was by her side. But she did most of the talking.

Most women would probably say no thanks to so many interviews after giving birth. Especially when it\'s not really possible to sleep because the baby needs to eat every 2½ hours.

But princess Alexandra made "the birth" (using that instead of some phrase I can\'t translate -Samwise) easily and was looking truely happy too.

Not even big brother Nikolai could bring the princess out of balance, with his "jump-a-bouts" (ehem, that was my own term -Samwise) and increasing dissatisfaction with not being the center of attention.

THE CLIP: (I\'m not gonna translate it word by word, but just give you some tidbits instead -Samwise)

- "he\'s so lovely"
- talking about how she\'s more experienced now [regarding giving birth]
- "he\'s called \'little brother\' so far [laughing]"

On a personal note - I think she speaks Danish wonderfully, considering the amount of time she\'s been here. -Samwise

Thank you so much Samwise!!!  I\'m so sorry I forgot it was you who understoond Danish!

Hasn\'t she been in Denmark for seven years now?  From what I can hear of the clip, she sounds very comfortable speaking Danish.  I heard she spoke better than Prince Henrik.  And what is the Danish people\'s general opinion of Mary Donaldson?

No problem.

Yeah, something like that. But she actually spoke decent Danish after just a few months (might have been more, but it was really fast).

Haha, true that. That %"#& can\'t speak proper Danish, and he\'s been here, what, 30+ years? I also believe they speak French privately (why she\'d do that is beyond me, but oh well).

And what is the Danish people\'s general opinion of Mary Donaldson? [/B]

She\'s hot! Oh wait, that was my opinion.

Actually I think most if not all people seem to like her. She\'s smart, successful and attractive. What\'s not to like.

I gather you don\'t like Prince Henrik?

She is pretty and she seems to have queen-potential.  Do you think that she\'s going to be just as popular as Princess Alexandra?

Hmm, that\'s hard to say. I don\'t really know what kind of person she is. I think people like Alexandra so much because of her personality - and it\'s too soon for me to judge M.D. in that area.

That\'s true.  Thanks again for the summary.  =)  I\'ll probably get Ryu to buy me a "How to Speak Danish" book just so I wouldn\'t have to trouble you again.  =P  I mean...royalty isn\'t one of the most intriguing topics to talk about (or that\'s the impression I get whenever I talk to other people about it  =P).

Royalty topics suck.....

jk

We are studying french royalty / family tree pretty soon in French class, sounds, entertaining.... :sconf:

See, I\'d find that whole French royalty/family tree interesting.  You wanna trade?  I\'ll study the French stuff for you while you do my accounting homework for me.
