Bigger and bigger
To describe a change that keeps going, Danish repeats the comparative and joins the two with og, just as English does:
| The town is getting bigger and bigger. | Byen bliver større og større. |
| The days are getting longer and longer. | Dagene bliver længere og længere. |
With more, choose the word the noun needs: flere og flere with plurals you can count, mere og mere with uncountable things or on its own:
| More and more people cycle to work. | Flere og flere mennesker cykler til arbejde. |
| She earns more and more. | Hun tjener mere og mere. |
The verb is usually blive (become) for things that change, or an ordinary verb for things that happen more and more often.
Most
| Danish | English |
|---|---|
| de fleste | most (people, of them) — plural |
| det meste | most (of it) — uncountable |
| Most Danes have a bike. | De fleste danskere har en cykel. |
| She has eaten most of the cake. | Hun har spist det meste af kagen. |
How much
en del (quite a lot), masser af (lots of), stort set (more or less), i gennemsnit (on average) and ingen af (none of):
| There is lots of room. | Der er masser af plads. |
| None of us can come. | Ingen af os kan komme. |
