Wildlife and Conservation
Before diving into grammar, let's look at some key sentences for talking about wildlife and conservation efforts in a nature reserve (et naturreservat).
Using "begge" (Both)
When you want to say "both" directly before a noun, use the word begge.
The Phrase "begge to"
In everyday Danish, when "both" stands alone or pairs with a pronoun (like vi, I, de, or dem), it is almost always expanded to begge to. This literally translates to "both two", but it is simply the natural, colloquial way to say "both of us", "both of you", or "both of them".
It often appears later in the sentence to emphasize that two subjects are performing an action together.
Using "alle sammen" (All of them)
Just as Danish uses begge to for a pair, it uses the cluster alle sammen (literally "all together") for groups of three or more. This is the most common conversational way to say "all of them", "all of us", or just "all" when referring back to a known group.
Like begge to, it frequently follows pronouns to emphasize that an entire group is involved in an effort.
