Questions & Answers about Jeg forsøger at oversætte en bog fra dansk til tysk i min fritid.
Why does the sentence use at before oversætte?
In Danish, verbs often follow at when they appear in the infinitive form. Here, forsøger (I try) is followed by at oversætte (to translate) to indicate the action you are attempting.
What is the difference between forsøger and prøver?
Both mean to try in Danish, but forsøger is slightly more formal and implies an effort or attempt. Prøver is more commonly used in everyday speech.
Why do we say en bog instead of using no article?
In Danish, nouns generally need an article unless the context or a specific construction omits it. En bog (a book) indicates a specific but not necessarily previously mentioned book.
What is the function of fra and til in this sentence?
Fra means from, and til means to. These prepositions show the languages involved in the translation: translating from Danish (fra dansk) to German (til tysk).
How is i min fritid used here?
I min fritid translates to in my free time. I is commonly used with time expressions to specify when something takes place, so this phrase clarifies that the activity happens outside work or other obligations.
