Places in a Danish town
| Danish | English |
|---|---|
| universitetet | the university |
| gymnasiet | the upper secondary school |
| sygehuset | the hospital |
| politistationen | the police station |
| havnen | the harbor |
| landsbyen | the village |
| posten | the post, the mail |
Sygehus and hospital mean the same; both are everyday Danish. You go på both:
| She is in the hospital because she is very ill. | Hun ligger på sygehuset fordi hun er meget syg. |
Gymnasiet and studenten
gymnasiet is the three-year school most Danes attend from about sixteen to nineteen. When you pass its final exams you become a student — in Danish that word means a school-leaving graduate, not a university student (that is a studerende):
| In June my brother graduates from upper secondary school. | I juni bliver min bror student. |
Flaget
Danes put the flag, Dannebrog, on everything festive — cakes, tables, birthdays:
| The Danish flag is red and white. | Det danske flag er rødt og hvidt. |
