Questions & Answers about Mødelederen opsummerer handlingen.

Where is the word for the in this sentence?

In Danish, the is often added to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word.

• mødelederen = mødeleder
  • -en = the meeting leader
• handlingen = handling
  • -en = the action / the plot

So Danish often uses a suffix article rather than a separate word like English does.

Why is mødelederen written as one word?

Because Danish likes compound nouns.

mødelederen is built from:

• møde = meeting
• leder = leader
• -en = the

So:

• mødeleder = meeting leader
• mødelederen = the meeting leader

This is very normal in Danish. Where English often uses two words, Danish frequently uses one compound word.

Why do both nouns end in -en and not -et?
