To say "depending on" in Danish, use the phrase alt efter.
Depending on whether (alt efter om)
When an outcome depends on a yes/no condition, pair alt efter with the conjunction om (if/whether). This forms a subordinate clause.
| We adjust the opening time depending on whether the ski slope is ready. | Vi justerer åbningstiden alt efter om skibakken er klar. |
An alt efter clause can also start a sentence. Because the entire clause occupies the first position, the main clause that follows must invert its subject and verb to satisfy the V2 rule.
| Depending on whether it snows, we start the snow cannon in the morning. | Alt efter om det sner, starter vi snekanonen om morgenen. |
Depending on when, how, or where
You can combine alt efter with question words like hvornår (when), hvor (where/how), or hvad (what) to express dependency on specific variables.
| The opening time varies depending on when the ski lift opens. | Åbningstiden varierer alt efter hvornår skiliften åbner. |
| The skier chooses the ski slope depending on how difficult it is. | Skiløberen vælger skibakken alt efter hvor svær den er. |
| We close the ski slope depending on where the avalanche is. | Vi lukker skibakken alt efter hvor lavinen er. |
