Questions & Answers about Efter flytningen vil vi pakke flyttekasserne ud sammen.
Why does flytningen end in -en?
Because flytningen is the definite singular form of flytning.
- flytning = move / moving / relocation
- flytningen = the move / the moving process
In Danish, the definite article is often attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word. So English the move becomes Danish flytningen.
Also, flytning is related to the verb flytte = to move.
Why is there no separate word for the in flytningen and flyttekasserne?
Because Danish usually puts the at the end of the noun as a suffix.
For example:
- en kasse = a box
- kassen = the box
- kasser = boxes
- kasserne = the boxes
So:
- flytningen = the move
- flyttekasserne = the moving boxes
This is one of the biggest differences from English noun structure.
