Rooms and things at home
| Danish | English |
|---|---|
| soveværelset | the bedroom |
| toilettet | the toilet |
| tv'et | the TV |
| radioen | the radio |
| The bed is in the bedroom. | Sengen står i soveværelset. |
Tv is a neuter noun spelled with an apostrophe before its ending: et tv, tv'et. Danes watch TV with se, and listen to the radio with høre:
| We watch TV in the evening. | Vi ser tv om aftenen. |
| He listens to the radio in the car. | Han hører radio i bilen. |
On, off and broken
slukke turns something off; tænde turns it on. Something that does not work is i stykker — literally in pieces:
| Turn off the TV! | Sluk tv'et! |
| The phone is broken. | Telefonen er i stykker. |
A new home
You leje a flat, then you flytte ind — ind goes after the verb, and i comes before the place:
| They moved into the house yesterday. | De flyttede ind i huset i går. |
And bringe is to bring: Kan du bringe mig et glas vand?
