Using "samme" (the same)
Use samme (same) to talk about exact identity. It never changes its form and follows a definite article (den, det, or de):
- den samme for en-words
- det samme for et-words
| The twin has exactly the same hairstyle. | Tvillingen har præcis den samme frisure. |
| He always repeats the same pattern. | Han gentager altid det samme mønster. |
Alternatively, use the adjective identisk (identical):
| It looks as if the twins are completely identical. | Det ser ud som om tvillingerne er helt identiske. |
Combining Adjectives
When combining samme with other adjectives, it comes immediately after the definite article:
| They see the same regular pattern every day. | De ser det samme regelmæssige mønster hver dag. |
"Det samme" as a Standalone Phrase
det samme can stand alone to mean "the same thing":
| The two men said the same thing at the same time. | De to mænd sagde det samme samtidig. |
Plurals with "samme"
For multiple items, use the plural definite article de (and remember, samme still doesn't change):
| The children just have the same predictable problems. | Børnene har bare de samme forudsigelige problemer. |
