Looking for the right dk.* group to talk about a book
Wm...
Hi, I am starting here as my danish language abilities are close to non
existent, sorry.
I am looking for the right place to discuss some things that are
occurring to me while reading Peter Hoeg's "The Quiet Girl" (Den stille
pige).
I know I should have a slash through the o in Hoeg, but I have an
english uk keyboard, sorry again.
Could someone point me to the right group, please?

You don't need to apologize. People are welcome to use any
language that they see fit, and English is understood by most
Danes.

There are two groups that might be relevant. It depends on
whether you are more interested in disussing/asking about
language or if you want to focus on the book as literature.
Language: dk.kultur.sprog
Literature: dk.kultur.litteratur
You may of course want to cover both angles in which case you may
crosspost.

And again you need not apologize. We are well aware of the
problems that may occur when people write Danish on foreign
keyboards.
If you need to specify the three Danish letters, you may use ae
for �, oe for � and aa for �. You can also copy-paste from our
postings, but you needn't bother if it's not important.

I know that but as a first language english speaker it is embarrassing
not to know when you ask.

I'm a uk.* person, is cross-posting allowed or recommended between those
two groups?

If you find crossposting useful in this case, you needn't have
any worries. But if you don't expect the two angles to have much
in common, it may be wiser to keep the threads in separate
groups.

Velbekomme.
