Questions & Answers about Vi læser historien og husker jer.
Why is it jer and not dig for "you"?
Jer is the plural object pronoun, meaning it refers to "you all" or "you guys" in this sentence. If you were only remembering one person, you would use the singular object pronoun dig.
Where is the word for "the" in historien?
In Danish, "the" is attached to the end of the noun. The base word for a story is en historie. To say "the story", you attach the ending to make it historien.
Why do both læser and husker end in -r?
Danish verbs in the present tense almost always end in -r. The verb doesn't change depending on who is doing the action, so "we read" is vi læser and "we remember" is vi husker.
Is it okay to say og husker jer without repeating vi (we)?
Yes! Just like in English ("We read the story and remember you"), you don't need to repeat the subject vi after og (and) as long as the same people are doing both actions.
