Questions & Answers about Skal I flytte sammen?
Why is skal used here instead of vil?
In Danish, skal is highly common for expressing future plans, arrangements, or intentions, similar to 'going to' in English. If you used vil here, it would sound more like 'Do you want to move in together?'
Why is the pronoun I capitalized in the middle of the sentence?
The pronoun I (the plural 'you', like 'you guys') is always capitalized in Danish. This rule is very helpful because it visually distinguishes the pronoun from the lowercase preposition i, which means 'in'.
The English translation says 'move in together', but where is the word for 'in'?
Danish expresses this concept more simply. At flytte sammen translates literally to 'to move together.' Adding a word for 'in' (like ind) is unnecessary and would sound unnatural as part of this set phrase.
Does flytte just mean 'move' in general?
No, flytte is specifically used for relocating, changing addresses, or shifting an object's location. If you want to talk about physical bodily movement, like moving your arm or exercising, you need to use the verb bevæge.
