Learn Danish: Er branden stor og farlig? - Is the fire big and dangerous?

In Danish, just like in English, you form a yes/no question by swapping the subject (branden) and the verb (er). So instead of saying Branden er stor (The fire is big), you say Er branden stor? (Is the fire big?).

Where is the word for "the" in this sentence?

Danish usually attaches "the" to the end of the noun as a suffix. The basic word for "a fire" is en brand. To say "the fire", you attach the -en to the end of the word, making it branden.

Why don't the adjectives stor and farlig have a -t or -e at the end?

Adjectives in Danish change their endings to match the noun they describe. Because branden is a singular "en" word (common gender), the adjectives take their basic dictionary form with no added endings. If the noun were an "et" word (neuter gender), they would be stort and farligt.

Could I use the word brand to talk about a cozy campfire?

No, en brand specifically refers to an uncontrolled or destructive fire, like a house fire or a forest fire. If you want to talk about a campfire or bonfire, you would use the word et bål.
