Question about Norwegian (bokmal)
Can Norwegians read Danish?
I know the languages are different but they're very similar in spelling. Maybe this is a stupid question haha

Largely yes, since bokmål is based on Danish writing. However, of course there are som different words, and spelling differences, but usually, we get by.
I get very confused when the same word means different things in Norwegian and Danish. For example, "frokost" is "breakfast" in Norwegian, but "lunch" in Danish
