I get that it’s completely unrelated etymogically, but I like how close manden is to mandem. It’s the Yule mandem. Santa is, in fact, about a dozen London lads
It’s actually completely related etymologically. Mandem = Man + Dem (Them). Manden = Man + Den (The). Both use the same Germanic words from two very similar Germanic languages. Mandem would just be plural Manden.
I’m learning danish as a native English speaker and damn near every danish word is related to a bunch of English words etymologically, even more than when I was learning french.
