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

Norwegian (bokmal) Norwegian (nynorsk)

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
