As a German, I understand a lot of words of the #danish 🇩🇰 language. Learning it would probably be easier than Spanish, for example.
Still, I have no idea what Knallertkørsel means, it just sounds really funny! 😄

@Kovah “Knallert” is Danish for “scooter”. 🛵

And yes, it’s funny to Norwegians as well. 😂

@bitbear @Kovah @oysteib "#Knallert" is partly (informally) used in Norwegian, usually for a specific simple moped, initially build from an ordinary bicycle

Lykken er en knallert

Favoritt er en norsk damesykkel som har fått påmontert en italiensk Mosquito motor, med andre ord en Knallert.

Worth being careful equating Norwegian words with Danish ones.

For example "grine".
Danish=smile/laugh Norwegian=cry

Time apart has definitely resulted in divergance of meanings of words which once were the same.

We also have it in southern Norway.... "snålt" - Fredrikstad=weird Porsgrunn=lovely

And - I am not expert on Danish, but I am pretty sure "knallert" is used for any kind of moped.
