"There's a world out there. Open a window, and it's there."

(Robin Williams)

Wise words as sticking to old behaviours is easy but exploring the beauties of the life outside (currently in 🇩🇰) is simply wonderful. Expanding one's horizon with the new, learning new stuff and cultures is something that life prepares for us - we just need to open the windows and step outside!

Just found out the word "by" ('city', but keep reading) is associated with bigger settlements in #Norwegian than in #Danish - and then NRK just wrote a related article!

In Denmark, you just need 200 citizens for a "by" (legally). While a prototypical one is bigger, a small one is still a "by", but may just be a "landsby" ('town/village', the first part means 'country').

Norway has no automatic "by"-status, but it can be granted to places usually with 5000+ citizens 🏘️

"Torn" is a song written by #ScottCutler, #AnnePreven—who composed all of the lyrics—and #PhilThornalley in 1991 as a solo song for Preven. It was recorded and performed live during this period, but not given its first formal release until 1993, when #Danish singer #LisSørensen released the song in Danish under the title "Brændt" ([pʁænˀt], meaning 'burnt'). Cutler and Preven formed an #alternativeRock band, #Ednaswap, in 1993.
