Questions & Answers about Fik du min sms?
Why isn't there a word for "did" in this sentence?
In English, we use "did" to ask past-tense questions. Danish doesn't use a helper verb for this. Instead, you simply put the main verb first. So, Fik du literally translates to "Got you".
What is the dictionary form of fik?
Fik is the past tense of at få, which means "to get" or "to receive". It is an irregular verb, so you just have to memorize that få becomes fik in the past tense rather than taking a regular -ede or -te ending.
Why is it min sms and not mit sms?
In Danish, sms is a common-gender word (en sms). Because possessive words have to match the gender of the noun they describe, you must use min instead of the neuter form mit.
Is sms only used as a noun, or can it be a verb like "to text" in English?
While it is a noun in this sentence, you can absolutely use it as a verb! The verb form is at sms'e. For example, Jeg sms'er dig senere means "I will text you later."
