Help[Opinions] Re: Skadi
in reply to a message by Impala1729
Impossible where I live; identical for all practical purposes with the Afrikaans word for damage: skade. Although, wouldn't the Norse pronunciation have been more like SHAdi?

The Danish word for Damage is Skade, as well. :) It’s also our word for Magpie, weirdly enough.
To the best of my knowledge, non of the Scandinavian languages pronounce “ska” as “sha”, but we do pronounce the “de” ending differently in Denmark compared to the other Scandinavian languages.

"Skaði" means "damage" in Old Norse too
