Questions & Answers about Godmorgen. Er du træt?
Why is er before du in the second sentence?
In Danish, you make a yes/no question by swapping the subject and the verb. While a statement is du er (you are), you simply flip the order to er du to ask a question.
Is godmorgen always written as one word?
Yes, when used as a greeting, godmorgen is written as one word. You will only see it written as two words (god morgen) if someone is describing a morning that was pleasant, rather than just saying hello.
Does the word træt change if I am asking a group of people?
Yes! Adjectives in Danish usually take an extra -e at the end when describing multiple people. Because du is singular, we use træt. If you were asking a group, you would use the plural pronoun I (you all) and ask Er I trætte?
How do I pronounce the vowel æ in træt?
The Danish letter æ makes a flat sound that is very similar to the "a" in the English word "cat" or the "e" in the English word "pet".
