Learn Danish: Pigen synes at tabletten er lige så tung som tastaturet. - The girl thinks that the tablet is as heavy as the keyboard.

You use the phrase lige så followed by an adjective, and then som. Here, lige så tung som translates directly to "just as heavy as". You can use this exact structure with almost any adjective, like lige så stor som (as big as).

Why is synes used here for "thinks" instead of tror or tænker?

In Danish, synes is used when expressing a personal opinion or subjective experience, like judging the weight of the tablet. Tror is used for beliefs or guessing facts you aren't sure about, and tænker refers to the literal action of using your brain to think.

Why does the word tabletten have two T's?

The base word is en tablet (a tablet). Because the final syllable has a short vowel sound followed by a single consonant, you double that final consonant before adding the definite ending -en. This tells you to keep the vowel sound short.

Why is the adjective tung (heavy) not written as tungt here?

Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. Because it is describing tabletten (from en tablet, common gender), the adjective takes the basic form tung. If the sentence were the other way around and started by describing tastaturet (from et tastatur, neuter gender), the adjective would add a T and become tungt.
