sidebysondheim Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) I took two years of Danish and talked about Kierkegaard with my Danish instructor who was a Dane. It's -gor. 'aa'/'å' (same letter in the Danish alphabet) has an 'o' sound so when mixed with an 'r' makes the 'or' sound. 'D' is often silent when it lands in the middle or end of a word, unless there are more vowels on the other side then you can get the 'th' sound. Edited February 14, 2016 by sidebysondheim

sneakysombrero Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 What are the odds that Princeton is spreading out its calls over 3+ days, i.e. that we're still in the running if we haven't yet received a call?

Expand I'm still hoping: in 2015, about a dozen acceptances were posted. In 2014, eight were posted. In 2013, four. 2012, about eight again. So our current three is well below what we'd expect. violaina 1
