Questions & Answers about Jeg vil fortælle mere om min rejse, når jeg har øvet mig på det nye klaverstykke.

Why is mig used after har øvet?

In Danish, øve sig is a reflexive verb meaning “to practice.” Because it’s reflexive, you need a pronoun like mig after øvet. This construction indicates that you are practicing for yourself.

Why do we say når instead of hvornår or da?

In Danish, når is used to mean “when” in a general or future sense, whereas hvornår specifically asks “at what time?” and da is used for a single event in the past. Here, we’re talking about a future scenario, so we use når.

Why do we use the present perfect har øvet here?

Danish often uses the present perfect (like har øvet) to refer to a completed action that has relevance to the future situation. In this sentence, the action of finishing the practice is directly tied to when you’ll tell more about your trip.

Can I say øvet klaver instead of øvet mig på det nye klaverstykke?

While øvet klaver communicates practicing piano in general, øvet mig på det nye klaverstykke is more precise—it’s about practicing a specific piece. The wording also keeps the reflexive structure, which is natural in Danish for practicing a skill.

What does rejse specifically refer to?

The word rejse generally means "journey" or "travel" in Danish. It can be used for anything from a short trip to a long journey. If you want to be more specific (such as a weekend trip or a holiday), you could add an extra detail, but rejse on its own covers the concept of travel.
