Questions & Answers about Dit job er vigtigt.
Why do we use dit instead of din here?
In Danish, possessive words like "my" and "your" have to match the gender of the noun they describe. Because job is an et-word (we say et job), you must use the matching et-word form for "your", which is dit. If the noun were an en-word, you would use din.
If I want to say "My job is important", do I use min or mit?
You would use mit. Just like dit is the et-word form for "your", mit is the et-word form for "my". The rest of the sentence stays the same: Mit job er vigtigt.
Why is there a "t" at the end of vigtigt?
Adjectives also have to match the gender of the noun they describe. The dictionary form of "important" is vigtig. However, because it is describing job (an et-word), we have to add a -t to the end to make them match.
Is the word job pronounced exactly like it is in English?
It is very close because it is a direct loanword from English. However, in Danish, the "o" is often pronounced a bit shorter and sharper, and the "j" sound can sometimes be slightly softer.
