      Another for you. In Denmark, we have bicycle traffic lights and they sometimes show you how long it’ll take until the light is green. They say

      Tid til grøn

      Which is almost pronounced “til ti grøn”

      Always makes me laugh a little

          Tid is pronounced til, and til is pronounced ti

          Idk, it’s not much but I find it silly

          It’s the reverse of Norwegian where “tid” is pronounced “tea”(english) and “til” is pronounced between “teal”(English) and “till”(english). The “d” is silent.

          But the Danish pronunciation is a little confusing because the d in tid is pronounced and is done so like an English “L”, at least in this instance while the “L” is silent.

        Ah. My suggestion of an aneurysm was commenting on how i wrote the reply, not necessarily the translations themselves.
