Questions & Answers about Dejen blandes som opskriften viser.
How is the s-passive formed in the word blandes?
To make the present tense s-passive, you take the infinitive of the verb, which is blande (to mix), and simply add an -s. This changes the meaning from active mixing to being mixed.
Could we use the 'blive' passive here and say Dejen bliver blandet?
Yes, bliver blandet means exactly the same thing and is grammatically correct. However, the s-passive (blandes) is heavily used for general instructions, rules, and recipes, so it sounds very natural here.
Why use som for 'as' instead of another word like da?
In this sentence, som means 'as' in the sense of 'in the way that' or 'like'. If you meant 'as' in the sense of 'because', you would use words like da or fordi, but that would not make sense with this recipe instruction.
Both dejen and opskriften end in -en. Are they doing the same grammatical job?
Yes, they are both singular common-gender nouns in their definite form. En dej (a dough) becomes dejen (the dough), and en opskrift (a recipe) becomes opskriften (the recipe).
