Anerledes could be used for foreign. As in a foreign person/language. Forskellig just
means different. They both mean different in English though. I never really thought of
that.

Anderledes* means as I would use it, not normal, or different than (something) (f.x: Mere anderledes end ham -
More different than him)

Forskellig does also mean different, but in another way, which i'll explain under this. :P (f.x: De forskellige
mennesker - The different people)

Forskellig is normally used for saying "different" about f.x. persons, animals, thing etc.
(Anderledes is normally used for "not normal" things, or weird things. - An "anderledes person" can be used for
saying that the person is "not normal".

Kinda hard to define, but I hope my answer helped you somehow. :D

thanks for your response..

I am gonna try to simplify this ...would it be right to say

Anderledes means "DIFFERENT" and Forskellige means "DIFFERENCE"

In English you would say he is different than others
Mere anderledes end ham
characterised by use of THAN in English or END in danish

while Forskellige

In English you would use what is the difference between A & B ?
hvad er forksellen mellem A og B ?
characterised by use of between in English and mellem in danish..

Even if its not entirely true.. do you think i can use this rule majority of times..

tusind tak...

The definitions and examples given in a monolingual dictionary might explain it better than a bilingual
dictionary. Below are the links to the entries for "annerledes" and "forskjellig" in Bokmålsordboka. This is a
dictionary for Norwegian Bokmål, not Danish, but I think these two words are used more or less the same way in
Norwegian and Danish.
