Min veninde går ind i prøverummet for at se, om trøjen passer bedre i en anden størrelse.

Veninde specifically means female friend. It is the feminine counterpart of ven (friend, or sometimes boyfriend depending on context).

In modern Danish, veninde normally just means female friend. It does not usually mean girlfriend in the romantic sense.

So:

• min ven = my friend / sometimes my boyfriend
• min veninde = my female friend

If Danish speakers want to make it clearly romantic, they often use something more explicit from context, or words like kæreste for boyfriend/girlfriend/partner.

Because veninde is a common gender noun in Danish, and common gender nouns take en and possessives like min.

So:

• en veninde = a female friend
• min veninde = my female friend

Compare that with neuter nouns:

• et hus = a house
• mit hus = my house

A useful rule:

• en-word → min
• et-word → mit

Literally, går ind i means walks into or goes into. In this sentence, it is best translated naturally as goes into or steps into.

So:

• går = walks/goes
• ind i = into

Together, går ind i prøverummet means goes into the fitting room.

Danish often uses verbs of movement more literally than English. English might simply say My friend goes into the fitting room, and Danish uses går ind i very naturally for that.

Because the verb phrase here is gå ind i noget — go into something.

So the structure is:

• gå ind i prøverummet = go into the fitting room

You need i because the motion is directed into the room.

Compare:

• Hun er i prøverummet = She is in the fitting room
• Hun går ind i prøverummet = She goes into the fitting room

The preposition is part of expressing movement toward the inside of something.

Prøverummet means the fitting room.

It is made up of:

• prøverum = fitting room / changing room
• -met = the definite ending for a neuter noun

So:

• et prøverum = a fitting room
• prøverummet = the fitting room

This is a very important Danish feature: instead of putting a separate word for the in many cases, Danish often adds the definite ending to the noun itself.

For at is a very common Danish structure meaning in order to.

So:

• for at se = to see / in order to see

In this sentence, it explains the purpose of going into the fitting room:

• Min veninde går ind i prøverummet for at se ...
• My female friend goes into the fitting room to see ...

A useful pattern:

• Jeg går ud for at købe kaffe. = I’m going out to buy coffee.
• Hun ringer for at spørge. = She’s calling to ask.

Here, om means whether.

So:

• for at se, om trøjen passer = to see whether the sweater fits

In English, if is often used in this kind of sentence, but in Danish om is the normal word for this meaning.

Important difference:

• om = whether/if in indirect questions
• hvis = if in conditional sentences

Compare:

• Jeg ved ikke, om den passer. = I don’t know whether it fits.
• Hvis den passer, køber jeg den. = If it fits, I’ll buy it.

That distinction is very useful for learners.

Because after om, you get a subordinate clause, and Danish subordinate clauses usually have normal subject-verb order.

So:

• om trøjen passer = whether the sweater fits

Structure:

• om
  • subject
    • verb

This differs from a main question. Compare:

• Main question: Passer trøjen? = Does the sweater fit?
• Indirect question: Jeg vil se, om trøjen passer. = I want to see whether the sweater fits.

So the inversion disappears inside the subordinate clause.

Trøjen means the sweater or the shirt/top, depending on context.

Base form:

• en trøje = a sweater / jersey / knitted top / shirt-like garment

Definite form:

• trøjen = the sweater

The ending -en is the definite ending for a common gender noun.

So:

• en trøje = a sweater
• trøjen = the sweater

Danish often expresses the by adding an ending to the noun rather than using a separate article.

Here, passer means fits.

The verb is at passe, which can have several meanings depending on context, including:

• fit
• suit
• look good on
• sometimes take care of

In clothing contexts, passe usually means fit:

• Trøjen passer. = The sweater fits.
• Den passer ikke. = It doesn’t fit.

So in this sentence, om trøjen passer bedre means whether the sweater fits better.

Because bedre is the comparative form of godt/god, meaning better.

Danish, like English, has an irregular comparative here:

• god = good
• bedre = better
• bedst = best

In this sentence, bedre means the sweater might fit better in another size than it does now.

So:

• trøjen passer bedre = the sweater fits better

You would not normally say mere godt here.

Danish commonly uses i with clothing sizes to mean in a certain size.

So:

• i en anden størrelse = in another size
• i min størrelse = in my size
• i størrelse 38 = in size 38

This is very natural Danish usage. English can also say in another size, so the structure matches fairly well here.

Anden means other or another.

Here it modifies størrelse, which is a common gender noun:

• en størrelse = a size

Because the noun is common gender singular, the form is anden:

• en anden størrelse = another size

Compare with neuter singular:

• et andet sted = another place

So the forms are:

• anden for en-words
• andet for et-words

Yes.

A more literal version:

• My female friend goes into the fitting room in order to see whether the sweater fits better in another size.

A more natural English version:

• My friend goes into the fitting room to see if the sweater fits better in another size.

Both are correct in meaning, but the second sounds more natural in everyday English.

More or less, yes. Prøverum is the place in a shop where you try on clothes.

Possible English equivalents are:

• fitting room
• changing room
• dressing room in some contexts

In a clothes shop, fitting room is often the closest match in English.
