Grillen står i haven.

In Danish, the definite article the is usually added to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word in front.

So:

• en grill = a grill
• grillen = the grill

The ending -en is the definite singular ending for many common-gender nouns.

For the same reason: haven means the garden, while have means garden in an indefinite sense.

So:

• en have = a garden
• haven = the garden

In the sentence Grillen står i haven, both nouns are definite: the grill and the garden.

Danish often uses so-called position verbs where English would just use is.

stå literally means stand, but it is also commonly used for things that are upright or resting in a standing position. A grill is thought of as something that typically stands somewhere.

So Danish prefers:

• Grillen står i haven = literally The grill stands in the garden

Even though natural English would usually say The grill is in the garden, Danish often chooses står instead of er in this kind of sentence.

står is the present tense of the verb stå.

So:

• at stå = to stand
• står = stands / is standing

In this sentence, it gives a present-time meaning: The grill is standing / is in the garden.

This is the normal word order for a basic Danish main clause:

subject + verb + adverbial/place

So here:

• Grillen = subject
• står = verb
• i haven = place expression

That makes the sentence straightforward and neutral.

Here i means in.

i haven means in the garden. Danish uses i because the grill is located within the area of the garden.

If you used på, the meaning would change. på often means on or is used with certain locations by convention, but for garden, i haven is the normal choice when you mean something is located there.

Danish nouns have grammatical gender, and grill is a common-gender noun, so it takes en:

• en grill
• grillen

Unfortunately, there is not always a reliable rule that lets you guess the gender just from the meaning. In many cases, you simply have to learn the noun together with its article: en grill, en have, and so on.

In a yes/no question, Danish usually puts the verb before the subject.

So:

• Grillen står i haven. = The grill is in the garden.
• Står grillen i haven? = Is the grill in the garden?

This verb-first pattern is very common in Danish questions.
