From birth to burial
| Danish | English |
|---|---|
| føde | to give birth (to) |
| begrave | to bury |
| sørge | to grieve, to mourn |
| skille | to separate, to part |
Føde is what the mother does; the child bliver født, "is born".
| She gave birth to a little girl last night. | Hun fødte en lille pige i nat. |
Sørge over someone is to grieve for them. Don't confuse it with sørge for, "to make sure":
| The family is mourning their mother. | Familien sørger over deres mor. |
Skille ad is "to part, to take apart"; the reciprocal skilles is "to get divorced".
| Nothing can part us. | Intet kan skille os ad. |
Luck, signs and advice
lykken is happiness and fortune, the big, lasting kind. Held is luck in a single moment, and the wish Held og lykke! (good luck!) has both.
| Happiness is having good friends. | Lykken er at have gode venner. |
rådet is "the advice". It is countable in Danish, so one piece of advice is et råd:
| Can you give me a good piece of advice? | Kan du give mig et godt råd? |
tegnet is a sign or signal (et godt tegn), not a sign on a wall, which is et skilt. kraften is force, power, physical strength.
