Learn Danish: Det regner stadig. - It is still raining.

Danish does not have a continuous present tense like English does. Instead of saying "is raining", you simply use the present tense verb regner. Depending on the context, Det regner translates to either "It rains" or "It is raining".

Why is stadig placed at the very end?

In a simple main clause, adverbs like stadig come directly after the verb. Because there is no object in this sentence, the adverb falls at the very end. The standard word order here is Subject (Det) + Verb (regner) + Adverb (stadig).

Why do we use Det here instead of Den?

When talking about the weather or general conditions, Danish always uses the neuter pronoun Det as a "dummy subject". This works exactly like the English "it" in "it is raining". You cannot use the common-gender pronoun Den for weather phenomena.

Could I use endnu instead of stadig to mean "still"?

Yes, both stadig and endnu can mean "still" in Danish. However, stadig is much more natural and common in everyday positive statements like this one. The word endnu is more frequently used in negative sentences to mean "yet", for example in det regner ikke endnu (it is not raining yet).
