In case you didn't know, Denmark is part of Scandinavia...

Pff we will never accept Denmark as a part of the Scandinavia :D

lol I think i pretty much sure know what countries are Scandinavia, you teach it in the first grade in school. Scandinavia is Sweden and Norway. And Finland is counted as part of Scandinavia (this Scandinavia, with those 3 countries is called Fenno-Scandia). Denmark is not part of Scandinavia, but it is not part of continental Europe either. Its the same thing like UK (or GB, to be more specific), its just Denmark (it also is a part of the Nordic countries [Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Iceland]).

You're talking about the geographical peninsula meaning of scandinavia, which is not the most common usage nowadays.

 PS: Anyway, what matters for the purposes of this forum is that Denmark is economically and socially similar to Norway and Sweden (while Finland is different from those countries).
