Questions & Answers about Bilen vender ved huset.
Why is it bilen and not a separate word like den bil for the car?
In Danish, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun.
- bil = car
- bilen = the car
This is very common in Danish:
- et hus = a house
- huset = the house
A separate definite word like den or det is used in some other situations, especially when there is an adjective:
- bilen = the car
- den røde bil = the red car
So in Bilen vender ved huset, bilen simply means the car.
What does vender mean here, and what is its base form?
