Questions & Answers about Hun er godt nok dygtig.
Why does godt nok mean "really" here instead of "good enough"?
While godt nok literally translates to "good enough", it is very often used as an intensifier in everyday Danish. It adds emphasis, meaning "really", "certainly", or "undeniably". Here, it emphasizes just how skilled she is.
What is the difference between dygtig and klog?
They both translate to "clever" or "smart" in English, but they have different focuses. Klog means intelligent or wise in your head. Dygtig means you are highly skilled, capable, or very good at doing something, like a job or a school subject.
Could I place godt nok at the end of the sentence?
When godt nok is used as a central adverb meaning "really" or "certainly", it belongs in the middle of the sentence right after the first verb. If you put it at the very end, it can sound unnatural or accidentally change the meaning back to a literal "good enough".
Why is it dygtig and not dygtigt or dygtige?
Adjectives in Danish must agree with the noun or pronoun they describe. Because Hun (She) is singular and acts as a common-gender word, the adjective takes the basic form dygtig. If the subject were plural, it would be dygtige, and if it were a neuter noun (an et word), it would be dygtigt.
