Questions & Answers about I læser avisen sammen.
Wait, doesn't I mean "me"?
In English, yes! But in Danish, I means "you" when you are talking to more than one person, like saying "you all" or "you guys". The Danish word for the English "I" is jeg. Remember that this plural I is always capitalized to tell it apart from the lowercase i, which means "in".
Does the verb læser change because the subject I is plural?
No, Danish verbs are very simple and do not change based on who is doing the action. Whether it is one person reading (jeg læser) or multiple people reading (I læser), the present tense verb stays exactly the same.
Why is the word for newspaper avisen instead of just avis?
Avis means "newspaper", but this sentence specifically means "the newspaper". In Danish, you add an ending to a noun to say "the" instead of putting a separate word in front. Because avis is an en-word, you attach -en to the end to make it avisen.
