"overlegen" ---> "suveren" ?

Hi Casper, Minny's translation and your version have the exact same meaning, just with a different structure. Why do you think we should invert the original?

After having thought it over prefer to change my vote. The word "overlegen" can have so many different meanings, but finally, I think the the word "condescending" express better the Danish one.

Jeg tror superior betyder noget andet end overlegen

Wouldn't "...am I superior" be the word order for a question?

No, in this case there must be an inversion due to the word "Only" which starts the line.
So the correct word order is:
"Only on the top am I superior"

I thought that this inversion happened only in Scandinavian languages.

Thanks you guys. The sentence sounds so much better in Danish than it does in English :oD

I thought you could translate it to something more beautiful, but I don't think I'm going to use this, but thanks anyhow! :o)
