Learn Danish: Hun er godt egnet til jobbet. - She is well suited for the job.

Even though hun (she) is a common-gender pronoun, godt is functioning here as an adverb modifying the word egnet (suited). It translates to 'well' suited rather than 'good' suited. In Danish, adverbs made from adjectives typically take this -t ending.

Where does the word egnet come from?

It is the past participle of the reflexive verb at egne sig, which means 'to be suitable' or 'to lend itself to'. In this sentence, egnet functions just like an adjective.

Could I use for instead of til to say 'for the job'?

No, the word egnet specifically requires the preposition til in Danish. Prepositions often do not translate one-to-one between English and Danish, so it is best to memorize the fixed chunk egnet til (suited for / qualified for).

What is the difference between er godt egnet til jobbet and passer godt til jobbet?

Both are very natural and often interchangeable. Er godt egnet til emphasizes having the right qualifications, skills, or capability for the role. Passer godt til translates more closely to 'is a good fit for' or 'matches well with', which can additionally imply personality or team dynamics.
