Questions & Answers about Læseplanen slutter med kapitlet.

Why does læseplanen end in -en?

Because Danish usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like the.

• læseplan = curriculum / syllabus / reading plan
• læseplanen = the curriculum / the syllabus

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

Why does kapitlet end in -et instead of having a separate word for the?

For the same reason: Danish often adds definiteness directly to the noun.

• kapitel = chapter
• kapitlet = the chapter

Here, -et is the definite ending for a neuter noun.

So English says the chapter, but Danish says kapitlet.

Why are there no separate words for the in this sentence?

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

So instead of:

• the curriculum
• the chapter

Danish uses:

• læseplanen
• kapitlet

This is one of the biggest structural differences from English.
