Forhandleren sender reservedelen til serviceværkstedet.

Those endings mark the definite form in Danish, which usually corresponds to the in English.

• forhandler = dealer

• forhandleren = the dealer

• reservedel = spare part

• reservedelen = the spare part

• serviceværksted = service workshop / repair shop
• serviceværkstedet = the service workshop / the repair shop

Unlike English, Danish often adds the definite article to the end of the noun instead of putting a separate word in front of it.

Because Danish nouns have different grammatical genders.

• en-word (common gender): takes -en in the definite singular
• et-word (neuter): takes -et in the definite singular

So:

• en forhandler → forhandleren
• en reservedel → reservedelen
• et serviceværksted → serviceværkstedet

This is something learners usually need to memorize together with each noun: en or et.

The sentence follows a very common Danish pattern:

Subject + verb + object + prepositional phrase

• Forhandleren = subject
• sender = verb
• reservedelen = direct object
• til serviceværkstedet = prepositional phrase showing destination

So literally:

The dealer sends the spare part to the service workshop.

This word order is very similar to normal English word order in a simple statement.

Sender is the present tense form of the verb at sende = to send.

• at sende = to send
• sender = send / sends

In Danish, the present tense usually ends in -r.

Examples:

• Jeg sender = I send / I am sending
• Han sender = he sends / he is sending

Unlike English, Danish verbs do not change for person very much. The same present-tense form is used with all subjects:

• jeg sender
• du sender
• han sender
• vi sender

Yes. Danish very often forms compound nouns by joining words together into one word.

Here:

• reserve = spare / reserve
• del = part
• reservedel = spare part

Then the definite ending is added:

• reservedel → reservedelen

The same thing happens with:

• serviceværksted = service workshop / repair shop

English often writes these as two words, but Danish commonly writes them as one.

Til usually means to in the sense of direction, destination, or recipient.

In this sentence:

• til serviceværkstedet = to the service workshop / repair shop

So it shows where the spare part is being sent.

A few similar examples:

• Jeg går til skolen = I go to the school
• Hun sender brevet til sin ven = She sends the letter to her friend

The indefinite singular forms are:

• en forhandler = a dealer
• en reservedel = a spare part
• et serviceværksted = a service workshop / a repair shop

The sentence uses the definite forms instead:

• forhandleren = the dealer
• reservedelen = the spare part
• serviceværkstedet = the service workshop

So if you changed the sentence to indefinite, it would be:

En forhandler sender en reservedel til et serviceværksted.

That means A dealer sends a spare part to a service workshop.

Yes. Depending on context, it could be translated more naturally as:

• repair shop
• service center
• workshop
• garage (in some vehicle-related contexts)

Danish words often cover a range of meanings, and the best English translation depends on the situation. If this sentence is about cars or machinery, repair shop or service center may sound more natural than service workshop.

A good clue is the preposition til.

• reservedelen comes directly after the verb, with no preposition, so it is the direct object: the thing being sent.
• til serviceværkstedet begins with til, so it is a prepositional phrase showing where the item is going.

So:

• What is being sent? → reservedelen
• Where is it being sent? → til serviceværkstedet

The past tense of at sende is sendte.

So:

Forhandleren sendte reservedelen til serviceværkstedet.

That means:

The dealer sent the spare part to the service workshop.

This is useful because Danish often forms the past tense with -te or -ede, though not always.

In standard Danish, the d in words like reservedel is often pronounced as a soft d, not like a strong English d.

So learners often notice that it may sound softer or more like a voiced dental sound.

Also, Danish pronunciation is often less transparent than spelling suggests, so it is normal if the spoken form seems harder than the written form at first.

A practical learner tip:

• learn the written form
• then listen to native audio several times
• repeat the whole chunk: sender reservedelen til serviceværkstedet

That is usually more helpful than trying to pronounce each letter separately.

Yes, and then the word order changes because Danish is a V2 language in main clauses.

You could say:

Til serviceværkstedet sender forhandleren reservedelen.

This is grammatical, but it sounds more marked or emphatic, because it highlights the destination.

Notice what happened:

• When Til serviceværkstedet moves to the front,
• the verb sender still stays in the second position,
• and the subject forhandleren comes after the verb.

That verb-second pattern is very important in Danish main clauses.

Because in Danish, the definite article is usually attached to the noun as a suffix.

So instead of:

• the dealer
• the spare part
• the service workshop

Danish normally has:

• forhandleren
• reservedelen
• serviceværkstedet

A separate definite word can appear in some other structures, especially with adjectives, for example:

• den nye reservedel = the new spare part
• det store serviceværksted = the big service workshop

But in your sentence, with plain nouns and no adjective, the suffixed definite form is the normal choice.
