Kontoudtoget er klar.

Because Danish normally writes noun compounds as a single word.

Here, kontoudtoget is built from:

• konto = account
• udtog = extract / statement
• -et = the definite ending

So the basic noun is kontoudtog = account statement / bank statement, and kontoudtoget = the bank statement.

The ending -et is the definite article for many neuter nouns in Danish.

So:

• et kontoudtog = a bank statement
• kontoudtoget = the bank statement

Unlike English, Danish often puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word.

Because Danish usually uses a suffix for definiteness.

So instead of a separate word like English the bank statement, Danish often says:

• kontoudtoget

You usually get a separate word such as det only when there is an adjective before the noun:

• det nye kontoudtog = the new bank statement

Er is the present tense of at være = to be.

So it works just like English is:

• Kontoudtoget er ... = The bank statement is ...

It links the subject kontoudtoget with the description klar.

Here it means ready.

In Danish, klar can mean several related things depending on context, including:

• ready
• finished
• prepared
• sometimes clear

In a banking or service context, er klar usually means something like is ready or is available now.

No, this is very straightforward Danish word order.

The sentence is:

• Kontoudtoget = subject
• er = verb
• klar = complement/adjective

So it follows the same basic pattern as English:

• The bank statement is ready.

This makes it a very typical simple Danish statement.

This is a very good question.

The noun kontoudtog is normally neuter:

• et kontoudtog

Because of that, many learners would expect the adjective to agree in the neuter singular:

• Kontoudtoget er klart.

That is the form standard agreement rules would normally predict.

So if you see Kontoudtoget er klar, it may be a variant in the material, or possibly just an inconsistency. As a grammar rule, the usual pattern is:

• common gender singular: klar
• neuter singular: klart
• plural: klare

You would normally say:

• Et kontoudtog er klart.

That changes two things:

• et kontoudtog = a bank statement instead of the bank statement
• klart shows the usual neuter singular adjective form

So comparing the two is useful:

• Et kontoudtog er klart. = A bank statement is ready.
• Kontoudtoget er klart. = The bank statement is ready.
