Questions & Answers about Jeg har en cykel.
Does har change if the subject is "we" or "she" instead of "I"?
No! One of the best things about Danish verbs is that they don't change depending on who is doing the action. Whether it is jeg (I), vi (we), or hun (she), the present tense of the verb "to have" is always har.
Why do we use en before cykel instead of et?
Danish nouns are divided into two categories (genders): en-words and et-words. Cykel happens to be an en-word, which is the most common group. Because there is no strict rule for which category a word belongs to, you just have to memorize "en" or "et" whenever you learn a new noun.
How do you pronounce cykel?
In Danish, a 'c' followed by a 'y' sounds like an 's'. Additionally, a 'k' in the middle of a word often sounds much softer, closer to a hard English 'g'. Because of this, cykel ends up sounding a bit like "soo-gull".
How would I change this sentence into a question?
To turn this into a question, you simply swap the verb (har) and the subject (jeg). To ask "Do I have a bicycle?" you just say: Har jeg en cykel?
