Votes, committees and final decisions
| you know | new meaning |
|---|---|
| stemmen the voice | stemmen the vote (one person's) |
| udvalget the selection | udvalget the committee |
| endelig at last, finally | endelig final |
A stemme you give, count or win is a vote; afstemningen is the vote as an event, the ballot:
| Every vote counts. | Hver stemme tæller. |
| The result of the vote is final. | Resultatet af afstemningen er endeligt. |
As an adjective, before a noun or after er, endelig takes the usual endings: en endelig afgørelse, et endeligt svar, den endelige beslutning:
| The final decision is coming next week. | Den endelige beslutning kommer i næste uge. |
In the sense "at last" (Han kom endelig, Endelig!) it is an adverb and never changes form. (Endeligt as an adverb means "definitively": Sagen er endeligt afgjort.)
In court
retssagen is the trial; kriminel also works as a noun with the adjective ending, de kriminelle "the criminals":
| The criminals were accused of theft. | De kriminelle blev anklaget for tyveri. |
på vegne af is "on behalf of", in court, in letters and in everyday speech:
| The lawyer spoke on behalf of her client. | Advokaten talte på vegne af sin klient. |
nærme sig is reflexive: jeg nærmer mig, vi nærmer os, dagen nærmer sig. slaget is a blow or a punch (in history books, the same word is a battle):
| She died from a blow to the head. | Hun døde af et slag mod hovedet. |
