Questions & Answers about Datamængden er ubegrænset.

Why does datamængden end in -en?

Because Danish usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun.

• datamængde = data amount / amount of data
• datamængden = the data amount / the amount of data

So -en here means the. This is very common in Danish:

• bil → bilen = the car
• bog → bogen = the book
• datamængde → datamængden = the amount of data

Is datamængden one word because Danish likes compounds?

Yes. Danish very often forms compound nouns as a single word.

Here, datamængde is made from:

• data = data
• mængde = amount / quantity

Together, datamængde means amount of data. Then the definite ending -en is added:

• datamængde = amount of data
• datamængden = the amount of data

This is much more natural in Danish than writing it as separate words.
