Street names in Denmark are often "so-and-so way" or "such-and-such street". Way is vej. Street is gade, pronounced a bit like 'girl'.

A typical Danish name might be Ny Munkegade -- new monk's street. Google maps directions produce "noy mun keg ade", which is utterly incomprehensible.



Eh, you get used to it. Certainly the lessor evil compared to living with Danish voice assistants/text to speech...
