Asking for an opinion
| What do you think of the film? | Hvad synes du om filmen? |
The answer usually starts with jeg synes — and the other person may agree or not:
| Danish | English |
|---|---|
| have ret | to be right |
| være sikker på | to be sure of |
| det kan godt være | that may be |
| det vigtigste er | the most important thing is |
| You are right. | Du har ret. |
Det kan godt være, men … is the polite way to disagree:
| That may be, but I do not believe it. | Det kan godt være, men jeg tror det ikke. |
Not at all, anyway
slet ikke makes a no stronger; alligevel says something happens in spite of what came before:
| I am not tired at all. | Jeg er slet ikke træt. |
| He was ill, but he came all the same. | Han var syg, men han kom alligevel. |
Instead of, because of
i stedet for and på grund af work like prepositions — a noun follows:
| The train is delayed because of the storm. | Toget er forsinket på grund af stormen. |
And a list you do not want to finish ends with og sådan noget.
