Tips

grammar
Country + = "person of that country": 丹麦 (Denmark) → 丹麦人 (Dane); 中国中国人, 美国美国人, 法国法国. 丹麦 itself is a transliteration: (dān, "red") + (mài, "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 (), and the 美人鱼 (Little Mermaid) statue in Copenhagen.
