Questions & Answers about Stuen er meget hyggelig med blødt lys og varme tæpper.

Why is Stuen in the definite form instead of writing En stue?

In Danish, if both the speaker and the listener know which living room is being referred to, we use the definite form Stuen. If you were introducing a new living room that hasn’t been mentioned before, you’d typically use En stue.

Why do we use meget hyggelig and not meget hyggeligt?

Hyggelig must agree with the common gender noun stue (which is an en-word). If the noun had been a neuter noun (et- word) like værelse (room), then you’d consider using hyggeligt (the neuter form).

What is the function of med in this sentence?

Med in Danish can mean "with" or "featuring." In this context, it adds the idea that the soft light and warm blankets are part of what makes the living room cozy (hyggelig).

Why does blødt change form compared to blød?

Adjectives in Danish agree in gender and number. Lys (light) is a neuter noun (an et-word), so the adjective must be the neuter form blødt. For common gender nouns or plural nouns, you’d use blød or bløde.

Why is it varme tæpper and not varmt tæpper?

Tæpper is plural, so the adjective varm is used in its plural form varme. Remember that adjectives in Danish take different endings depending on whether the noun is singular, plural, common gender, or neuter.
