Connecting Sentences with "Som"
You can use relative clauses to add descriptive details without starting a new sentence. In Danish, the most common relative pronoun is som.
| who, which, that (relative pronoun) | som |
Translating to "who", "which", or "that", som never changes form. It stays exactly the same regardless of gender or number.
