Questions & Answers about Hun gav et klart svar.
Why is there a -t at the end of klart?
The noun svar (answer) is a neuter noun, meaning it takes et. When you use an adjective like klar (clear) to describe an et word, you must add a -t to make it agree with the noun, resulting in et klart svar.
Does klar also mean ready in Danish?
Yes, klar is very often used to mean ready (for example, Er du klar?). However, when describing things like water, glass, or a statement like et svar, it means clear or unambiguous, exactly like in English.
Is gav an irregular verb?
Yes, gav is the irregular past tense of at give (to give). Because it is a highly common core verb, it is important to memorize its forms: giver in the present, gav in the past, and har givet in the present perfect.
Do Danes use the verb at give for answers just like English speakers do?
Yes, the phrasing translates perfectly. You can say at give et svar (to give an answer) just as naturally as you do in English. Alternatively, you could just use the verb at svare (to answer).
