Questions & Answers about Mit forslag er, at vi køber varme boller hos bageren og tager dem med til parken.
Why is it mit forslag and not min forslag?
Because forslag is a neuter noun in Danish: et forslag.
The possessive pronoun my changes form in Danish:
- min for common-gender singular nouns
- mit for neuter singular nouns
- mine for plural nouns
So:
- min bil = my car
- mit forslag = my suggestion
- mine bøger = my books
Why is there a comma before at?
In this sentence, at introduces a subordinate clause: at vi køber ...
Many Danish writers use a comma before a subordinate clause. That is what you see here:
- Mit forslag er, at vi køber ...
You may also see:
- Mit forslag er at vi køber ...
Both are possible depending on the comma system being used. So the comma here is about punctuation style, not meaning.
Why is it at vi køber and not at køber vi?
