Stød

Okay kiddo, so stød is a special sound that some people make when they speak Danish. It's like a little bounce or jump in their voice when they say certain words.

You know how when you say "uh-oh" really fast, your voice kind of goes up and down quickly? That's kind of what stød sounds like.

But not all Danish words have stød. It's only in some words and it actually changes the meaning of the word sometimes!

It's kind of like a secret code for Danish speakers. Not everyone can do it and not every word needs it, but it's a cool part of their language that makes it unique.
