Questions & Answers about Det er ikke svært at bage brød.
Why do we use at bage (to bake) here instead of just the bare infinitive bage?
You are currently learning that modal verbs like kan (can) do not use at before the next verb. However, this sentence does not have a modal verb. When connecting an adjective phrase like Det er ikke svært (It is not difficult) to an action, you must use the infinitive marker at (to), just like in English.
Why does the word for difficult (svær) have a -t at the end?
Adjectives in Danish change their ending to match the gender of the word they describe. Because it describes the neuter pronoun Det (It), the base adjective svær gets a -t added to become svært.
Why is ikke (not) placed after the verb er (is)?
Danish uses the V2 rule for normal statements, meaning the main verb always takes the second position in the sentence. Negation words like ikke naturally fall into the space right after that main verb.
Why is there no article before brød?
Just like in English, when you are talking about bread as a general concept or uncountable food, you do not need an article. You just say brød. If you meant a specific single loaf, you would say et brød (a bread).
