Learn Danish: Jeg vil netop gerne have sådan en fjerpen.

It adds a strong sense of confirmation or precision, translating to 'That is exactly what I would like.' While vil gerne have simply means 'would like to have', inserting netop right after the modal verb vil emphasizes the exactness of this specific desire, often in response to a suggestion.

Why is netop placed before gerne?

In Danish main clauses, sentence adverbs like netop and gerne go in the central adverb position right after the first verb. When multiple adverbs cluster there, a focus adverb like netop typically comes first because it scopes over or sets the tone for everything that follows, stepping naturally in front of gerne.

Could I move netop to the end of the sentence to emphasize the quill?

No, netop rarely goes at the very end of a sentence. If you wanted to heavily emphasize that the quill is exactly what you want, you would instead move the object and the adverb to the front, such as saying Lige netop sådan en fjerpen vil jeg gerne have. Native speakers often add lige to netop for that extra fronted emphasis.

Why do we use sådan en instead of just en?
