Questions & Answers about Hun har skrevet en række bøger om Danmark.
Why isn't there a word for "of" between en række and bøger?
In Danish, when using a noun that expresses a quantity, container, or grouping (like en række, en kop, or et glas), you place it directly next to the noun it describes. You do not use a preposition like af (of). Therefore, it is just en række bøger.
What are the different ways to use the phrase en række?
Here it translates to "a series", but en række can also mean "a row" (like seats in a cinema) or simply "a number of" (as in en række problemer meaning "a number of problems").
Why does the vowel change from bog to bøger?
Bøger is the plural form of en bog (a book). It belongs to a specific group of irregular Danish nouns that change their main vowel in the plural, similar to how "foot" becomes "feet" in English. Here, the "o" shifts to an "ø".
Why use om instead of another preposition for "about"?
When expressing the topic or subject matter of a book, story, or conversation, Danish uses om (about). You would use på instead if you were talking about the language the book is written in, like bøger på dansk (books in Danish).
