Why do you say it's better? I ask cause I plan to learn one out of Norwegian, Swedish and Danish but haven't found much of an answer about which one makes it easier to understand the others.

More people speak Swedish than Norwegian or Danish. Swedish is the easiest to learn out of them as it has less* dialects. Swedish also have an easier tone and pronunciation than the other two.

Tho if you want to learn the one that can easiest understand the other two, Norwegian is your best bet, as we are the ones that understand Danish/Swedish best, but that might be because we have more entertainment in those languages so it is just that we are more used to it.

Danish is the hardest to understand for Norwegians and Swedes, as long as the Norwegian is spoken in a "standard dialect" and/or slightly slower. We all know how to do that, so as long as it is spoken slower and more clearly you will understand all of them.

I think when reading, Norwegian comes in between being similar to both Swedish and Danish (especially Danish as written Norwegian used to be Danish we just made it more Norwegian over time).

For a Norwegian it is easier to read Danish and hear Swedish, for the other two I have no idea, ask some of the Danish/Swedish Anons lurking around here.

Wow that was a non answer wasn't it? I have no idea, it depends. Also understanding the other two is complicated at times for native speakers, so I wouldn't bet on it. Sorry Anon, I tried, I would need to talk to a Dane and a Swede to be sure really, which probably could be done...

*Less as in the dialects aren't as different as the ones in Norwegian, where even Norwegians have trouble understanding some of them. Danish also seems to have the same problem, not that I know that much about it, but a friend of mine was in a McDonalds in Denmark and two of the employees spoke English to each other and when she asked why, they explained that it was easier for them to understand each other that way.

No, that was great, very informative. Thank you so for the long reply :*

Swedish has a lot more stuff available, but yeah, I'd like to learn the one that would help me the most with the other two, cause I'm a big language nerd and want them all xD But maybe when the time comes it will be the one that clicks with me the most.

No problem, looking over it I should probably have read it once and organized it a bit better...

That does not surprise me and good luck with whichever language you decide on!
