Questions & Answers about Hvordan er vejret i Skagen?
Why does the sentence start with hvordan when the English translation uses what?
In English, we ask what the weather is like, but in Danish, you literally ask How is the weather?. You have to use hvordan (how) because trying to translate the English structure what is... like word-for-word into Danish sounds very unnatural.
Where is the word for the in vejret?
In Danish, the word for the is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word before it. Because vejr (weather) is an et-word (a neuter noun), you add the suffix -et to the end to get vejret (the weather).
Could I use the preposition på instead of i for Skagen?
No, you need to use i. Skagen is a town, and Danish almost always uses i (in) when talking about being located in cities, towns, and countries. You usually only use på (on) for islands or specific districts and squares.
