Questions & Answers about Jeg overvejer at flytte fjernsynet til stuen.

Why do we use at before flytte in this sentence?

In Danish, at is the infinitive marker. It’s most often placed before the base form of a verb to indicate the infinitive (similar to “to” in English). So at flytte means to move.

Why is fjernsynet used instead of et fjernsyn?

Fjernsynet is the definite form (“the TV”). In Danish, the definite article is usually added as a suffix on the noun. Et fjernsyn is the indefinite form (“a TV”), while fjernsynet clearly indicates a specific television set.

Overvejer means to consider or to think about doing something. It suggests weighing different possibilities or thinking the situation through before deciding.
