Questions & Answers about Hvor finder jeg tres stole?
Why is the number sixty tres in Danish?
Danish numbers from 50 to 90 are based on an old system of counting by twenties. Tres is short for an older word meaning "three times twenty" (3 x 20 = 60). Remembering the "tre" (three) in tres can help you remember that it means sixty!
Why is the word order finder jeg instead of jeg finder?
Danish uses the "V2 rule", meaning the verb is almost always the second idea in a main sentence. Because the sentence starts with the question word Hvor (Where), the verb finder (find) must come right after it. So, "Where do I find" becomes Hvor finder jeg.
The translation says "do I find", but where is the word for "do" in the Danish sentence?
Danish doesn't use a "do" helper word for questions like English does. To ask "do I find?", you simply use the present tense verb on its own: finder jeg translates to both "find I" and "do I find".
How is the plural word stole (chairs) formed here?
The singular word for a chair is en stol. To make it plural, you just add an -e to the end, making it stole (chairs). Adding -e or -er is the most common way to make plural nouns in Danish.
