Saying what you like
Danish says like with the modal kan and the verb lide: kunne lide. In a positive statement Danes add godt: jeg kan godt lide. In questions and negatives, godt drops out.
| Danish | English | |
|---|---|---|
| yes | Jeg kan godt lide chokolade. | I like chocolate. |
| no | Jeg kan ikke lide chokolade. | I do not like chocolate. |
| question | Kan du lide chokolade? | Do you like chocolate? |
| I like chocolate. | Jeg kan godt lide chokolade. |
| I do not like bananas. | Jeg kan ikke lide bananer. |
Liking an activity
After lide, an activity takes at + the infinitive, as after other verbs you know:
| Do you like to dance? — No, I do not. | Kan du lide at danse? — Nej, det kan jeg ikke. |
Notice the short answer: the question has kan, so the answer repeats kan.
Being fond of something
være glad for means to be fond of, happy with — use it for things and people you are pleased to have:
| She is happy with her new bicycle. | Hun er glad for sin nye cykel. |
Foods are often used without an article when you talk about them in general: is, pizza, chokolade, musik.
