But the real Danish word for it is "Datamat". Hardly anyone knows this, but it's true. Computer is a loan word that has eclipsed the real word (Although more people refer to a computer as a PC and a laptop as a "bærbar", but that doesn't charge the fact that we have a perfectly fine word for them.

Why did they block us? We mostly use the native construction "tietokone", lit "knowledge machine". And versions of it in speech such as kone or tietsikka.
