Hertil
hertil is "to here", the direction twin of herfra (from here):
| How did you get here? | Hvordan kom du hertil? |
It also means "this far": Hertil og ikke længere — this far and no further.
Fast, sudden and stopping
| Danish | English | past |
|---|---|---|
| rende | to run about, to dash | rendte |
| skride | to slip; to clear off | skred |
| standse | to stop, to halt | standsede |
| brække | to break (a bone) | brækkede |
Rende is informal løbe: running about (rende rundt), or a quick errand (rende ned i butikken).
Skride has two lives. Literally it is to slip or slide (skride på isen, a car skidding). In slang it means to leave abruptly, and the imperative Skrid! is a rude "get lost!".
| The car skidded on the wet road. | Bilen skred på den våde vej. |
Standse is a slightly more formal stoppe, common about vehicles and the police.
Brække is what happens to bones: brække benet, brække armen. (Brække sig is "to throw up".)
Dukke op
dukke op is to turn up, to appear, about people and about problems. In a der-sentence the subject comes between the verb and op:
| A problem turned up. | Der dukkede et problem op. |
