Questions & Answers about De inviterede hinanden til arrangementet i går.
How is the word hinanden used in this sentence?
hinanden means "each other". Here, it acts as the direct object of the verb inviterede (invited). Just like in English, it shows that the action was mutual: Person A invited Person B, and Person B invited Person A. If it were possessive (each other's), it would be hinandens, but here they are just inviting each other, not each other's friends.
Why is there an -et at the end of arrangementet?
The base word is et arrangement (an event), which is a neuter noun. To say "the event", Danish attaches the -et to the end of the word, making it arrangementet. Note that because this word comes from French, the "g" is pronounced softly, somewhat like the "s" in "measure".
Could I put the time expression i går at the beginning of the sentence instead?
What tells us that inviterede is in the past tense?
The ending -ede is the clue. The base form of the verb is at invitere (to invite). Because this is a regular verb, you drop the final -e and add -ede to form the past tense, which matches perfectly with the time marker i går (yesterday).
