Questions & Answers about Mobilabonnementet er nyt.

Why is mobilabonnementet written as one long word?

Because Danish normally writes compound nouns as a single word.

So:

• mobil = mobile / cell phone
• abonnement = subscription / plan
• mobilabonnement = mobile subscription / mobile plan

Then -et is added to make it definite.

A useful rule: in Danish compounds, the last part is the main noun, and it decides the gender and inflection. Here the main noun is abonnement.

What does the ending -et mean in mobilabonnementet?

-et is the definite article ending for a singular neuter noun.

Compare:

• et mobilabonnement = a mobile subscription
• mobilabonnementet = the mobile subscription

So instead of putting a separate word like the before the noun, Danish often adds the definite ending directly to the noun.

Why is it nyt and not ny?
