Questions & Answers about Hvor tit ses du og din kæreste?
Why does the verb se have an s at the end to make ses?
This is a reciprocal verb, which means the action goes both ways. Adding -s to the verb se (to see) changes the meaning to seeing each other. You will often see this -s ending used when two or more people are doing an action to each other.
Why does the verb ses come before the subject du og din kæreste?
This is because of the V2 rule, where the main verb must be the second block of information in a sentence. The question phrase Hvor tit counts as the first block, so the verb ses has to come right after it, swapping places with the subject.
Does kæreste mean boyfriend or girlfriend?
It can mean either! The word kæreste is gender-neutral and can be translated as boyfriend, girlfriend, or romantic partner.
Why do we use din instead of dit before kæreste?
Possessives have to match the gender of the noun they describe. Because kæreste is a common gender word (en kæreste), we use the matching form din. If it were a neuter word (et-word), we would use dit.
