Learn Danish: Kjolen er også for stram til hende. - The dress is also too tight for her.

In this sentence, for means 'too' because it is placed directly before the adjective stram (tight). To say who the dress is too tight for, Danish uses the preposition til. So for stram til hende translates to 'too tight for her'.

Could I say for stram for hende instead?

No, this is a common trap for English speakers! When you want to express that something is too [adjective] for a specific person, you must use til. If you used for hende here, it would sound like the dress is acting on her behalf or doing her a favor.

Why is the adjective stram and not stramt?

Adjectives in Danish must match the gender of the noun they describe. Because kjolen (the dress) is a singular 'en' word (common gender), the adjective stays in its basic dictionary form, stram.

Why does også come right after the verb?

også (also) is a short adverb. In a normal Danish main sentence, these types of adverbs typically drop in right after the main verb. Since er (is) is the verb here, også follows it immediately.
