- (uncommon) Greenlander, with the implication that Greenlanders are also Danes
- 1968, Mads Lidegaard, Det gælder Grønland:
- Danmark blev døbt om til Syd-Danmark og Grønland til Nord-Danmark, og folk tilsvarende til syddanskere og norddanskere, - alt i bedste mening og for at understrege samhørigheden, men dog ganske fjernt fra den grønlandske virkelighed.
- Denmark was renamed South Denmark and Greenland North Denmark, and people, correspondingly, South Danes and North Danes, - all of it in the best of intentions and to emphasize together-belonging, but nevertheless quite far from the Greenlandic reality.
- (uncommon) a Danicized Greenlander
- 1992, Peter Høeg, Frøken Smillas fornnemelse for sne:
- De var de første grønlændere, der fik universitetsuddannelse. Nogle af dem har overlevet og holdt fast på sig selv. Andre - som inspektøren - er, med deres spinkle, men abnormt opblæste selvfølelse, blevet ægte, intellektuelle norddanskere.
- They were the first Greenlanders to have university educations. Some of them have survived and held onto themselves. Others - such as the inspector - have, with their fragile, but abnormally inflated self-worth, become genuine, intellectual North Danes.
