And I thought “kamelåså” was confusing.

Me, as a dansk sprog learner…

This is good to know. If I ever get to visit Danmark, I’ll be in Jylland most of the time (where min morfars family is from). Tak for the help!

Yeah, I can see that since it’s illegal to say “Howdy” anywhere east of the Mississippi River or in a non-rural area. 😉

Thank you for your help!

It sounds like the usage of "Dav" in Danmark might be similar to the usage of "Howdy" here in the USA.

I had a feeling "Dav" might have uncommon or limited usage. What's amazing is that the language program/book I'm starting (Get Started in Danish) has "Dav" as the second word they teach, with the definition "Hello/Hi" and no other context. 😬

Tak!

Might it be a greeting used by a certain generation or age group?
