Questions & Answers about Hun søger arbejde i København.
Why is there no word for 'for' after søger?
The verb søger translates directly to 'seeks' or 'is looking for'. Because the idea of 'for' is already built into the verb, you do not need to add an extra preposition here.
How is søger different from leder efter?
Both can mean 'looking for', but søger is specifically used for seeking intangible things like jobs, apartments, or opportunities. Leder efter is usually for physical things you have lost or misplaced, like your keys.
Why doesn't the sentence say et arbejde?
In Danish, just like in English, arbejde (work) is often treated as a general, uncountable concept without an article. If you wanted to use an article, you would usually switch to the word job and say et job.
