### Questions Ending in Prepositions

In Danish, just like in conversational English, it is perfectly natural—and highly common—to leave a preposition at the end of a question.

When starting a question with a word like **hvem** (who) or **hvad** (what), simply drop the preposition at the very end.

### Asking "Which" (Hvilken / Hvilket)

Remember to use **hvilken** for common gender words (en-words) and **hvilket** for neuter words (et-words). Even when the question word is attached to a noun phrase, the preposition still waits at the very end of the sentence.

### Placement and Position

Danish uses specific verbs to describe how objects are positioned or placed—like **ligger** (is lying) or **står** (is standing). The preposition remains at the end whether you are asking about an object's current location or where someone is moving it.

### More Event Planning Combinations

You will see this pattern with nearly every common preposition, such as **til** (to), **om** (about), and **på** (on). Notice how the sentence flows naturally toward the preposition, no matter how much detail is in the middle of the question.
