Questions & Answers about Koppen er populær i hjemmet.

Where is the word the in this sentence?

In Danish, the is often built into the noun itself instead of being a separate word.

• kop = cup
• koppen = the cup
• hjem = home
• hjemmet = the home

So in Koppen er populær i hjemmet, both koppen and hjemmet are definite forms.

A useful extra point: when there is an adjective directly before the noun, Danish often uses both a separate word and the ending:

• den populære kop = the popular cup

But in your sentence, populær comes after er, so you just get koppen.

Why is it koppen but hjemmet?
