Questions & Answers about Hun tjener mere og mere.
Why do we use mere og mere here instead of flere og flere?
We use mere for uncountable things, like money, which is clearly implied here. If she were getting more and more of something you can count, like tips or clients, you would use flere og flere.
I learned that tjener means a "waiter". How does that work here?
It is spelled and pronounced exactly the same way, but here it is the present tense of the verb at tjene. You know it is a verb because it comes directly after the subject Hun, following standard Danish word order. At tjene means "to earn" or "to serve".
If it doesn't say "penge" (money), how do we know what she is earning?
When the verb tjener is used on its own like this regarding an amount, it almost always implies earning money or a salary. If she were earning something else, like respect (respekt), it would be explicitly stated.
