Questions & Answers about SIM-kortet sidder i telefonen.
Why is it SIM-kortet and not et SIM-kort?
Because SIM-kortet is the definite form: the SIM card.
In Danish, definiteness is usually added as an ending:
- et SIM-kort = a SIM card
- SIM-kortet = the SIM card
So instead of using a separate word like English the, Danish often attaches it to the noun.
Why is it telefonen and not just telefon?
For the same reason: telefonen means the phone.
- en telefon = a phone
- telefonen = the phone
The sentence is talking about a specific phone, not just phones in general.
Why does Danish put the at the end of the noun?
