Each and every one
hver især means "each (of us, of them)", one at a time. In a main clause it comes after the verb, where an adverb like ikke would go:
| We each have our own view. | Vi har hver især vores egen holdning. |
den enkelte is "the individual", each single person seen on their own. It is common in writing about society, and it can also stand before a noun: den enkelte elev, each individual student.
| It is up to the individual. | Det er op til den enkelte. |
How many, how much
| Danish | English |
|---|---|
| en række + plural noun | a number of, a series of |
| en bred vifte af | a wide range of |
| størstedelen af | the greater part of, most of |
| en del af | a part of, some of |
| en form for | a kind of, a form of |
En vifte is literally a fan, so en bred vifte af pictures choices spread out like a fan.
Størstedelen works with anything, including amounts: størstedelen af tiden. Flertallet (the majority) is for things you can count, usually people and votes.
| Most of the money goes to the school. | Størstedelen af pengene går til skolen. |
Keep en del af apart from en del: en del penge is quite a lot of money, while en del af pengene is part of the money.
En form for takes for where English has of: en form for kunst.
Til en vis grad
til en vis grad softens a statement, like English "to a certain extent". It can open the sentence or stand after the verb:
| I agree to a certain extent. | Jeg er til en vis grad enig. |
