Questions & Answers about Hvem koordinerer du tidsplanen med?
Why is med at the very end of the sentence?
This is called preposition stranding. Just like in English, Danish often leaves the preposition at the end of a question when the question word it belongs to (Hvem) is moved to the front. You could theoretically say Med hvem koordinerer du tidsplanen?, but putting med at the end is much more natural and common in everyday spoken Danish.
Why is the verb koordinerer placed before the subject du?
Because of the V2 (verb-second) rule. In a question starting with a question word like Hvem, that word takes up the first position. The verb (koordinerer) must immediately follow it to stay in the second position, pushing the subject (du) to the third spot.
How exactly is the word tidsplanen constructed?
It is a compound noun made of tid (time) and plan (plan), joined by a linking -s-. The -en at the end is the definite suffix, meaning the schedule. This linking -s- is very common in Danish when combining two nouns into one.
Is there a separate Danish verb form for the continuous action are coordinating?
No, Danish does not have a continuous tense like English. The simple present tense koordinerer translates to both coordinate and are coordinating depending on the context of the conversation.
