    It's a very nice word, different pronunciation in Denmark I think, more like your 'hi'.

    'Hej' is when we meet, 'hej då' (hi then) when we part.
    I'm half Dane but have not heard it spoken. Norkies abound in this area of North Dakota. I married one of them. A favorite word that can mean just about anything is "Uffda!" Everyone says it here...even the Germans.

    I think that in Norway it means that something is unpleasant, uncomfortable, annoying.
    Something like the Swedish 'Usch' or 'Usch då'.
