Questions & Answers about Serienummeret og svarfristen står i emailen.

Why are serienummeret and svarfristen written as single words?

Because Danish very often makes compound nouns by joining words together.

• serienummer = serial number
  • serie
    • nummer
• svarfrist = reply deadline / response deadline
  • svar
    • frist

This is extremely normal in Danish. Where English often writes two words, Danish often uses one.

What do the endings -et and -en mean?

They mark the nouns as definite, so they mean the.

• serienummer = a serial number

• serienummeret = the serial number

• svarfrist = a reply deadline
• svarfristen = the reply deadline

So Danish usually adds the to the end of the noun instead of putting a separate word before it.

Why is there no separate word for the in this sentence?
