Tips

grammar
Country + 人 = "person of that country": 丹麦 (Denmark) → 丹麦人 (Dane); 中国 → 中国人, 美国 → 美国人. 丹麦 itself is a transliteration: 丹 ("red") + 麦 ("wheat") approximate "Den-mark."
culture
丹麦 (Denmark) is small but punches well above its weight in Chinese cultural imagination - it's the home of 安徒生 (Hans Christian Andersen) whose fairy tales every Chinese child grows up reading, the LEGO brand (乐高), and the 美人鱼 (Little Mermaid) statue in Copenhagen.
