Learn Danish: Den store skærm er flot, men jeg bruger telefonen. - The big screen is nice, but I use the phone.

This sentence perfectly shows the two ways Danish says "the"! When a noun stands alone without a describing word, you add an ending (telefon becomes telefonen). But as soon as you put an adjective like "big" in front of it, you must take the ending off the noun and use a separate word for "the" instead (den or det). That is why it is Den store skærm.

The dictionary says "big" is stor. Why is there an extra "e" on store here?

In Danish, adjectives change their endings depending on the grammatical environment. Whenever you use a definite word like den (the), det (the), or a possessive word like min (my), the following adjective almost always gets an -e added to the end. So, stor becomes store.

The translation says flot means "nice". Can I use it to say someone is a nice person?

No, flot is strictly about appearance or impressive quality. It means "beautiful", "handsome", "great-looking", or "impressive". Here, it means the screen has a great display or design. If you want to say someone has a nice personality, you would use sød (sweet) or flink (friendly) instead.

How do you pronounce the "g" in the word bruger?

It is a soft "g", which means it does not sound like the hard "g" in the English word "go". Instead, it is very soft and sounds a bit like a subtle English "w" or "y" at the back of the mouth, making the word sound roughly like "broo-wuh".
