Learn Danish: Forstår hun dig? - Does she understand you?

Du is the subject pronoun used when "you" are doing the action. Because "you" are the one being understood here, "you" are receiving the action. For that, we use the object pronoun dig.

Where is the word for "does"?

Danish does not use helper verbs like "do" or "does" to make questions. Instead, it simply swaps the order of the subject and the verb. "She understands" is hun forstår, so to ask "does she understand?", you just swap them to make forstår hun?

How is the word dig pronounced?

Even though it ends with the letter 'g', it does not have a hard 'g' sound in Danish. Dig is pronounced very similarly to the English word "die".

What does the -r at the end of forstår mean?

In Danish, almost all verbs in the present tense end in -r. The basic dictionary form is forstå (to understand), and adding the -r makes it present tense (understands). It stays the exact same no matter who the subject is!
