意味（1）

An informal variety of language that mixes elements of Danish and English languages.

We have our languages, our identity and our culture, and we prefer to muddle through by speaking some sort of “Swenglish”, “Danglish” or even “Finnlandic” with each other during the breaks and at dinner.

意味（2）

(often derogatory) English writing or speech strongly influenced by Danish.

Many thanks to the people who took time to help me stamp out “Danglish” through their reviews and comments: Chris Demetriou, Paul Richards, Brian Somers, Nik Clayton, and Hanne Munkholm. Any remaining insults to proper use of english language are my own fault.

意味（3）

(often derogatory) Danish speech featuring many English loanwords or nonce borrowings.

I generally try not to speak Danglish (except with my husband, then everything goes. We even throw in a bit of German). Still, it does happen occasionally, if I can’t remember a word, if the person I’m speaking to understands the other language and there’s better word for something, such as “procrastination” in English or “overskudsmenneske” in Danish.
