Well, Danish is easy to differentiate from the other two. Norwegians speak in a higher register than Swedes as well.

edit: I just got Dutch or German. Dutch or Dutch you mean, game? >:I

editedit: Hebrew or Yiddish?

Yiddish sounds German. Hebrew does not.

[TD1]

I still think Scots-Gaelic sounds like someone speaking with a potato in their mouth.

Obviously you've never heard the delightful dialect that is "Norn Iron"

Yiddish sounds German. Hebrew does not.

Once again, that was my exact reasoning

Their Hebrew clips does sound a lot like somebody from Western Europe trying to speak Arabic. Which isn't very strange, I suppose. I don't think I choose wrong at any one time Hebrew was the answer because of that.

How does German sound to a Dutch person?

Like a heavy metal language, basically.

That fella in the middle matches my reaction. I love the Sess.

So cute~
There's a joke in Germany:
Why aren't there any Dutch terrorists?
Well, imagine a Dutch suicide bomber running into a place full of Germans and screaming 'Ik drük op de knöpke!'. Nobody would take him seriously!

Translate please, for those of us who aren't...European ._.
Mistranslation in German? Or does it mean something else?

All I can base it on is 'he said cute things awww :3'

Belgian accents are notably less stupid than those found in the Netherlands :V

That means "I'll push the button!" The German for the same phrase sounds significantly harsher.

It means the same thing in German ("Ich drücke auf den Knopf" - "I (will) push the button"). It just sounds cute.
"Knöpke" (and many other Dutch words) sounds like a diminuitive form as used in some German dialects, maybe that's why.
Also yeah, it sounds a lot softer than in German.

So what does it mean in German? o_o

[Darvi]

It doesn't mean anything in German, except sounding more way silly.

[scriver]

The joke is that he is threatening to kill them, but they can't take him serious because of his dialect.

Swedish have exactly the same thing with Norwegians. Angry Norwegians sound hilarious.

[Dutchling]

Angry Germans are indistinguishable from happy Germans.
