Questions & Answers about De er lykkelige sammen.
Why does lykkelige have an -e at the end?
In Danish, adjectives change to match the word they describe. Because De (they) is plural, you must add an -e to the base adjective lykkelig to make it the plural form lykkelige.
What is the difference between lykkelige and glade?
Both translate to "happy" in English, but they express different levels of intensity. Glade usually means cheerful or happy in a casual, everyday sense. Lykkelige describes a much deeper, profound life joy or bliss. Using lykkelige here means their relationship brings them deep, lasting fulfillment.
How do I know if De means "they" or the formal "you"?
It almost always means "they" in modern everyday Danish. Both share the exact same spelling and pronunciation (sounding similar to the English letter "D"). It is only capitalized here because it is the first word of the sentence. The formal "you" is very rarely used today outside of extremely formal letters.
