Re: What is the difference between Denmark and the Netherlands?

Why would they be in a history book instead of an atlas? Do they no longer exist? Oh well, I can't imagine anyone will miss either of them.

Well if you had a look in a history book, you would actually learn something - normally they have included pictures of the topics. But how ould you know?

Ha! See? Even you can't keep remember the difference.



Admit it, even you find it impossible to tell the difference! [/QUOTE]Ahhh my friend, this i good. Really! Do not worry for me as i can clearly see the differnce, but as written in this thread before, Netherlands are very well know for their windmills. So is Denmark, but we are even more famous for our windTURBINES - and that was actually my reference. I will try to be more clear about these things in the future.

So are they from Netherland or Holland? They can't be both. And if they were from one or the other, surely they'd be called Netherish or Hollish? Being called Dutch would only make any sense if they were from Dutchmark.

The Netherlands in its entirety is often referred to as Holland, although North and South Holland are actually only two of its twelve provinces. The word Dutch is used to refer to the people, the language, and anything pertaining to the Netherlands. This lexical difference between the noun and the adjective is an attribute of the English language that does not exist in the Dutch language. The adjective 'Dutch' is derived from the language that was spoken in the area, called 'Diets', which equals Middle Dutch.

Dynamite was invented in 1867, some time after the USA was built. And besides, you'd be able to tell if the USA was built out of dynamite, Pearl Harbour would've sent the entire country sky-high.

Dynamite was patented in 1867 and invented by Alfred Nobel. My reference to U.S.A was that without dynamite, it would have been very hard to go on the gold rush many yeas ago...

Re: What is the difference between Denmark and the Netherlands?

Why is this so hart to understand for you people? The Netherlands and Denmark are two different countries in Europe. The capitals are Amsterdam and Copenhagen. We do not share the same language, we do not even share a border. Asking about the differences is asking about the differences between America and Mexico.

If you want to learn more, check Wikipedia. It even comes in simple English...

Re: What is the difference between Denmark and the Netherlands?

Why do you have to be so antagonistic? I just wanted to know what the differences are between these two places, and I got some good information, none of it coming from you, BTW, no one likes a wikipusher.

Countries, not places. And do you even realise how stupid your question is? Asking for differences between two totally different countries? It's like asking for the difference between an apple and a pear!

You don't have to like the question. I was only asking to know the differences so I wouldn't get confused so much.

Maybe you don't even know the difference between then?

I can't believe I'm doing this...

In The Netherlands we speak Dutch.
In Denmark they speak Danish

The capital of The Netherlands is Amsterdam.
The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen.

The president of The Netherlands is Jan-Peter Balkenende.
The president of Denmark is Lars Løkke Rasmussen.

The Queen of The Netherlands is called Beatrix.
The Queen of Denmark is calles Margaretha II

The Netherlands has 16,5 million inhabitants.
Denmark has 5,5 inhabitants.

The currency of The Netherlands is the euro.
The currency of Denmark is the crown.

The Netherlands is borderd by the North Sea.
Denmark is borderd by the Baltic Sea.

And the list goes on and on. Is this enough for you people to realise The Netherlands and Denmark are two different countries? And do you realise it's a bit strange to ask about the differences? Just as strange asking about the differences between America and Mexico. Or America and Iran. Or America and China. Or South-Africa and Brazil. Or Spain and Venezuela.

I'm still confused. I thought the Netherlands were two different countries, so wouldn't both Netherlands and Denmark make three countries/cities in total?

[Dutchy the Dutchman]

Re: What is the difference between Denmark and the Netherlands?

Denmark has 5,5 inhabitants.

5,5 million of course...

Re: What is the difference between Denmark and the Netherlands?

The Netherlands has 16,5 million inhabitants.
Denmark has 5,5 inhabitants.

Surely there are more than 5,5 denmarkians?

The currency of The Netherlands is the euro.
The currency of Denmark is the crown.

No, the danish currency is Kroner. Don't go changing facts just because you can't pronounce it.

Please. The Netherlands = one country. Denmark = one country.

The only thing I got from this is that the Netherlands has three times the population of Denmark. I could care less about the name of your president.

Sorry, I mis-typed and corrected the number of inhabitants already. And I made a mistake while translating the Dutch word for the Danish national currency into English.

Maybe it's because of all the differences between our countries...

You cannot seriously be comparing Denmark or the Netherlands to America?

As for Mexico, which one is full of little brown Mary worshiping, bean munching dope smugglers?

Re: What is the difference between Denmark and the Netherlands?

Please. The Netherlands = one country. Denmark = one country.

So mathematically:

X = one country

The Netherlands = X

Denmark = X

The Netherlands = Denmark

Re: What is the difference between Denmark and the Netherlands?

Yes, I know they have a lot in common, that's why I'm interested in their differences.
