In Addition To: ud over
Use ud over to express "in addition to" or "besides."
If you place an ud over phrase at the beginning of a sentence, remember the V2 (verb-second) rule! The entire prepositional phrase counts as position one, meaning the verb must immediately follow it.
| In addition to the food, we must buy something extra for the party. | Ud over maden skal vi købe noget ekstra til festen. |
| Besides her talent, she has a great passion for music. | Ud over sit talent har hun en stor passion for musik. |
You can also place ud over later in the sentence to tag on an extra detail.
| He has actually gotten an extra bonus in addition to his salary. | Han har faktisk fået en ekstra bonus ud over sin løn. |
Skills, Benefits, and Additions
Ud over is especially useful when discussing extra hobbies, secondary interests, or added workplace benefits. You will often see it paired with vocabulary like kompetence (skill), kvalifikation (qualification), or gevinst (benefit).
| The work comprises many skills in addition to the technical ones. | Arbejdet omfatter mange kompetencer ud over de tekniske. |
| In addition to his passion for sports, he is also interested in art. | Ud over sin passion for sport interesserer han sig også for kunst. |
| It is a great benefit to have several qualifications in addition to one's education. | Det er en stor gevinst at have flere kvalifikationer ud over sin uddannelse. |
