Counting and not counting
Some nouns can be counted (et æble, to æbler). Others cannot: milk, water, sugar, rice. Danish uses different words for the two kinds:
| with plurals | with uncountables | |
|---|---|---|
| a lot | mange æbler | meget mælk |
| some | nogle æbler | noget mælk |
| a little | — | lidt mælk |
| We have a lot of milk and a little coffee. | Vi har meget mælk og lidt kaffe. |
| He eats many apples. | Han spiser mange æbler. |
Uncountable nouns usually stand without an article: meget juice, lidt ris.
More and enough
mere (more) and nok (enough) go straight before the noun:
| Do you want more coffee? | Vil du have mere kaffe? |
| Do we have enough sugar? | Har vi nok sukker? |
Needing something
have brug for means to need:
| We need more milk. | Vi har brug for mere mælk. |
