Questions & Answers about Jeg bor i Danmark.
Why use bor here instead of lever?
Bor specifically means to reside or have your home somewhere. The other Danish word for to live, lever, means to be alive. Since you are talking about where your home is, you must use bor.
How is jeg pronounced?
It doesn't sound the way it looks! In modern Danish, jeg is pronounced roughly like the English word "yai" (rhyming with "eye").
Why does the verb bor end in -r?
In Danish, almost all verbs in the present tense end in -r. The dictionary form is at bo (to reside). Because Danish verbs don't change based on who is doing the action, you use bor for I, you, he, she, we, and they!
Do you always use i to say you live "in" a country?
Yes, just like in English, you use the preposition i (in) before cities and countries to show where you are located physically.
