Questions & Answers about Er du stadig træt?
Why does the sentence start with the verb "Er"?
To make a yes/no question in Danish, you swap the subject (du) and the verb (er) so the verb comes first. This is called inversion, and it works exactly the same way as "Are you..." in English.
Why does the adverb "stadig" come right after "du"?
In Danish yes/no questions, the strict word order is Verb + Subject + Adverb. Because Er is the verb and du is the subject, the central adverb stadig must follow immediately after them.
Could I use "stadigvæk" instead of "stadig" here?
Yes! Stadig and stadigvæk both mean "still" and are completely interchangeable in this sentence. Stadig is just a bit shorter and more common in casual conversation.
If I were asking a group of people, how would the sentence change?
If you are addressing multiple people, you use the plural pronoun I (you all). Because the subject is plural, the adjective træt must also take its plural form by adding an -e. The sentence becomes: Er I stadig trætte?
