Questions & Answers about Prisen er tusind kroner for to personer.
Why is there no word for 'a' before tusind?
In Danish, you usually drop the article et (a/one) before hundrede (hundred) and tusind (thousand) when stating a standard number or price. You would only say et tusind if you needed to emphasize that it is exactly one thousand and not two thousand.
Could I use the preposition til instead of for here?
You will sometimes hear til to personer (intended for two people), but for to personer is much more common when discussing a price, rate, or transaction. It means the price covers two people.
Why does the sentence use personer instead of mennesker for 'people'?
While both words translate to 'people', personer is used when counting individuals as units, such as for bookings, ticket prices, or restaurant tables. Mennesker is used when talking about human beings in a broader, more general, or emotional sense.
