Learn Danish: Han spiser mange æbler.

In Danish, adding -r to the basic dictionary verb (the infinitive) makes it present tense. The basic verb here is spise (to eat). The great news for beginners is that verbs don't change depending on the subject. So han spiser means "he eats", and jeg spiser means "I eat".

Does Han spiser mean "He eats" or "He is eating"?

It can mean both! Danish doesn't have a specific "is doing" (continuous) tense like English does. You just use the standard present tense spiser, and the context tells you whether it's a general habit or something happening right now.

Why use mange here instead of meget?

Mange translates to "many" and is used with countable nouns, like apples (æbler). Meget means "much" or "a lot of" and is only used for uncountable things (like water, coffee, or time). Since you can count individual apples, mange is the correct choice.

How was the plural word æbler formed?

The singular word for apple is æble. In Danish, you often make a noun plural by adding -r or -er to the end. Because æble already ends in an "e", you simply add an -r to get the plural æbler (apples).
