Questions & Answers about Holdet savner os.
Why do we use os here instead of vi?
os translates to us. Just like in English, we use vi (we) for the subject doing the action, and os (us) for the object receiving the action. Since the team is doing the missing, we receive the action as os.
Why is the word for the team holdet and not just hold?
In Danish, the definite article (the) is attached to the end of the noun. Because a team is an et-word (et hold), you add -et to the end to make it the team (holdet).
Does savner mean misses or is missing?
It means both! Danish does not have a separate continuous tense like the English -ing form. So the present tense verb savner covers both misses and is missing.
Is the d in holdet pronounced?
No, the d in holdet is completely silent. You just transition directly from the l to the -et ending.
