Questions & Answers about Husk koden til hjemmesiden!
Why is the verb husk used here instead of husker?
Husk is the imperative, or command form, of the verb at huske (to remember). In Danish, you make a command by taking the dictionary form of the verb and removing the final -e.
Doesn't kode just mean code? Why is it translated as password?
Yes, en kode literally means a code. However, in everyday Danish, it is very commonly used as a short way to say password (the full formal word is en adgangskode). Adding the -n to the end gives us koden, meaning the password.
Why do we use the preposition til instead of for?
While English says the password for the website, Danish uses til (to) when expressing that something belongs to or unlocks a specific thing, similar to how you would say the key to the door.
How is the word hjemmesiden built?
It is a compound word made of hjemme (home) and side (page). The -n at the very end is the definite ending, which turns a website into the website.
