Questions & Answers about Modellerne som du anbefaler, er meget forskellige.
What role does som play in this sentence?
In this sentence, som acts as the object of the relative clause. It refers back to Modellerne (the models) and is the thing that du anbefaler (you recommend). Unlike English where you can often drop the word that (The models you recommend...), in Danish you generally need to keep som.
Why does the verb er come right after the comma?
This is the V2 (verb-second) rule in action! The entire phrase Modellerne som du anbefaler acts as the single subject of the main sentence. Because this long subject takes up the first position, the main verb er must immediately follow it in the second position.
Why does forskellige have an -e at the end?
Because it describes Modellerne, which is a plural noun. In Danish, adjectives must match the noun they describe in gender and number. The basic adjective forskellig (different) gets an -e added to it to make the plural form forskellige.
How exactly is the word Modellerne formed from the base word model?
It is the plural definite form of en model. First, we make it plural by adding -ler to get modeller (notice how the l doubles to keep the vowel sound short). Then, we add the definite plural ending -ne to get modellerne (the models).
