Questions & Answers about Denne lektion giver mig mulighed for at øve gradbøjningen af adjektiver i flere sætninger.
Why does the sentence start with denne instead of den?
Denne means this and is used directly before a singular common-gender noun, here lektion.
- denne lektion = this lesson
- den lektion would usually mean that lesson or the lesson, depending on context
So denne is the natural choice when pointing to a specific lesson that is close in context, just like English this.
Why is it lektion and not lektionen?
In Danish, lektion is the indefinite singular form: a lesson / lesson.
Lektionen is the definite singular form: the lesson.
Here, Danish uses denne + noun:
- denne lektion = this lesson
When you use denne, the noun itself normally stays in the indefinite form. That is why it is denne lektion, not denne lektionen.
