Questions & Answers about Siden vi flyttede ind, har jeg skyndt mig mindre om morgenen.

What does siden mean here?

Here siden means since. It introduces a starting point in the past and connects it to the present.

So Siden vi flyttede ind means Since we moved in.

This is different from for ... siden, which means ... ago: for to år siden = two years ago

It is also different from da, which usually just means when. Siden suggests that the situation in the main clause has been true from that past point until now.

Why is vi flyttede ind in the simple past?

Because vi flyttede ind refers to one completed event: the moment or period when the speakers moved into the place.

In Danish, after siden, it is very normal to use the simple past for the event that started the time period: Siden vi flyttede ind, har jeg ...

The main clause then uses the present perfect to describe something that has been true from that point up to now.

Is flyttede ind one expression?

Yes. at flytte ind is a verb plus particle meaning to move in.

In Danish, these often work as a unit: at flytte ind = to move in

When the verb is finite, the particle often stays after it: vi flyttede ind

So flyttede ind should be understood together, not as two unrelated words.

Why is it har jeg instead of jeg har?
