Questions & Answers about Kvinden har computeren i tasken.
Does the verb har change if there are multiple women?
No, it stays exactly the same! In Danish, verbs do not change based on who or how many people are doing the action. Whether it is jeg har (I have), kvinden har (the woman has), or kvinderne har (the women have), the verb is always har in the present tense.
Why do kvinden, computeren, and tasken all end in -n or -en?
In Danish, the word for 'the' is attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word in front of it. For example, kvinde means 'woman', so adding -n makes it kvinden (the woman). Computer becomes computeren and taske becomes tasken. They all take the -en or -n ending because they are all 'en-words' (common gender nouns).
Is computeren just an English word, and how do I pronounce it?
Yes, computer is a loanword from English! Danish borrows many technology words directly. It is pronounced very similarly to English, but with a slight Danish accent (the 't' and 'r' are softer). To say computeren (the computer), you just say the English word and add a soft '-en' sound to the end.
How is the word i (in) pronounced?
In Danish, the letter i is pronounced like the 'ee' sound in the English word 'see' or 'bee'. It does not sound like the English pronoun 'I'. So, i tasken sounds a bit like 'ee tasken'.
