Hun blander yoghurt med en banan i en skål, før hun går på arbejde.

Because Danish finite verbs change form depending on whether they are the present tense form or the infinitive form.

• blande = to mix
• blander = mixes / is mixing

In a normal present-tense sentence, Danish uses the present form:

• Hun blander yoghurt ... = She mixes / is mixing yogurt ...

Unlike English, Danish does not add different verb endings for I, you, he, she, we, they. The present tense form stays the same:

• jeg blander
• du blander
• hun blander
• vi blander

So blander is correct because it is the present tense.

Danish often uses the simple present where English might use either the simple present or the present continuous.

So:

• Hun blander yoghurt ... can mean She mixes yogurt ... or She is mixing yogurt ...

Danish does not normally need a separate auxiliary like is for this kind of action. The single verb blander is enough.

Because yoghurt here is being used as an uncountable/mass noun, like water, milk, or rice in English.

So:

• Hun blander yoghurt ... = She mixes yogurt ...

You would only use an article if you were talking about a yogurt as one item/container, for example a cup or serving:

• en yoghurt = a yogurt

But in this sentence, it means the substance itself, so no article is needed.

med means with, and en banan means a banana.

So:

• blander yoghurt med en banan = mixes yogurt with a banana

The noun banan is a common gender noun in Danish, so it takes en in the indefinite singular:

• en banan
• bananen = the banana

This is just the normal way to say with a banana.

Because Danish nouns have grammatical gender, and skål is a common gender noun, so it takes en.

• en skål = a bowl
• skålen = the bowl

You simply have to learn whether a noun takes en or et. There is not always a reliable rule from meaning alone.

i means in.

So:

• i en skål = in a bowl

This phrase tells you where the mixing happens. Danish uses i the same way English uses in for something inside a container.

Sentence structure here is:

• Hun blander yoghurt med en banan i en skål
• She mixes yogurt with a banana in a bowl

Yes, some movement is possible, but this order is very natural because Danish usually puts the verb early and then adds the complements/details.

Basic structure here:

• Hun = subject
• blander = verb
• yoghurt = thing being mixed
• med en banan = what it is mixed with
• i en skål = where

A very natural order is:

• Hun blander yoghurt med en banan i en skål.

You can sometimes move adverbials for emphasis, but this version is the most straightforward and neutral.

før means before.

It introduces a subordinate clause:

• før hun går på arbejde = before she goes to work

So the whole sentence means that the mixing happens earlier than the going-to-work action.

Because after før, Danish uses subordinate clause word order.

In this clause:

• hun = subject
• går = verb

So the normal order is:

• før hun går på arbejde

You do not invert the subject and verb just because før comes first. The inversion pattern is mainly used in main clauses, not in subordinate clauses like this one.

at gå på arbejde is a fixed Danish expression meaning to go to work or sometimes to be at work / go off to work, depending on context.

So:

• hun går på arbejde = she goes to work

Even though English uses to, Danish idiomatically uses på here. This is something learners usually need to memorize as a set phrase.

Compare:

• gå på arbejde = go to work
• være på arbejde = be at work

Yes. The sentence is in the present tense, but in Danish the present can describe:

• something happening right now
• a habitual action
• a near-future action, depending on context

So this sentence could mean:

• She is mixing yogurt with a banana in a bowl before she goes to work or
• She mixes yogurt with a banana in a bowl before going to work

Without extra context, both are possible.

Because før hun går på arbejde is a subordinate clause, and Danish commonly places a comma before subordinate clauses.

So:

• Hun blander yoghurt med en banan i en skål, før hun går på arbejde.

This comma helps show that the second part depends on the first part.

You may see some variation in comma use depending on style and teaching tradition, but this comma is completely normal and helpful.

In Danish, the definite article is usually added to the end of the noun.

For the nouns here:

• en banan = a banana → bananen = the banana
• en skål = a bowl → skålen = the bowl

So you could get phrases like:

• med bananen = with the banana
• i skålen = in the bowl

That is a very important feature of Danish nouns: the definite article is often a suffix, not a separate word like English the.
