Questions & Answers about Skemaet er meget vigtigt.
Why does vigtigt end in a -t here?
It ends in -t because it describes the noun skemaet, which is a neuter word (an et word). In Danish, adjectives must agree with the gender of the noun they describe, so the base adjective vigtig gets a -t added to it.
How can I tell that skemaet means "the schedule" and not just "a schedule"?
In Danish, the word "the" isn't usually a separate word before the noun; instead, it is attached to the end. The base word is et skema (a schedule). Because it is an et word, you add -et to the end to get skemaet (the schedule).
This lesson is about jo. How would we add it to this sentence to mean "The schedule is very important, as you know"?
You would place the modal particle jo right after the verb, making the sentence: Skemaet er jo meget vigtigt. This adds a sense of shared knowledge, casually reminding the listener of a fact you assume they already agree with.
Does meget mean "very" or "much" here?
Here it means "very" because it is placed directly before an adjective (vigtigt) to intensify it. While meget can also mean "much" or "a lot" when talking about uncountable nouns, in this sentence it simply acts as an intensifier.
