Questions & Answers about Hver uge har hun tid til at slappe af, så hun køber medlemskabet.
Why do we need til before at slappe af?
In Danish, having time to do something is expressed with the fixed phrase have tid til. When you follow it with a verb, you must use til at plus the infinitive (here, at slappe af).
Why is the word order har hun instead of hun har in the first part of the sentence?
Danish uses the V2 (verb-second) rule. Because the sentence starts with the time phrase Hver uge, the verb har must come in the second position, pushing the subject hun to the third spot.
Why doesn't the V2 rule apply after så? Shouldn't it be så køber hun?
The word så acts as a coordinating conjunction here, much like og (and) or men (but). It connects two independent clauses and counts as position zero, so the normal subject-verb order (hun køber) simply starts over in the second clause.
What is the purpose of af in slappe af?
Slappe af is a fixed phrasal verb that specifically means to relax. Without af, the verb slappe just means to loosen or to go slack.
How can I tell that medlemskab is an et word based on this sentence?
The definite ending -et in medlemskabet (the membership) shows it is a neuter word. As a handy tip for the future, almost all Danish nouns ending in the suffix -skab (such as venskab or kendskab) are et words.
