Bageren kender min bedstemor og giver hende altid en frisk bolle om lørdagen.

Because Danish usually puts the definite article on the end of the noun.

• en bager = a baker
• bageren = the baker

Here, -en is the singular definite ending for a common-gender noun.

Danish splits English know into different verbs.

• kende = to know a person, place, or something through familiarity
• vide / ved = to know a fact or piece of information

So:

• Jeg kender hende = I know her
• Jeg ved det = I know it / I know that

Since the sentence is about knowing a person, kender is the correct choice.

Yes, it is in the present tense.

The verbs are:

• kender = knows
• giver = gives

In Danish, the present tense very often ends in -r. So this sentence describes something that happens now or regularly: the baker knows the grandmother and regularly gives her a fresh roll.

In Danish, a possessive usually replaces the article.

So you say:

• min bedstemor = my grandmother
• not den min bedstemor

This is like English: we say my grandmother, not the my grandmother.

Because Danish normally writes compound nouns as one word.

So bedstemor is a single noun meaning grandmother. Danish does this very often:

• sommerhus = summer house
• fødselsdag = birthday
• bedstemor = grandmother

This is very normal in Danish and something English speakers have to get used to.

Because hende is the object form of the pronoun, while hun is the subject form.

• hun = she
• hende = her

In this sentence, the baker is the subject, and the grandmother is receiving something, so she is the object:

• Bageren gives hende

So hende is correct.

In Danish, short object pronouns such as mig, dig, ham, hende, os, jer, dem often come before sentence adverbs like altid.

So this is the natural order:

• giver hende altid

rather than:

• giver altid hende

A good basic pattern to notice is:

• verb + object pronoun + adverb

Here:

• giver = verb
• hende = object pronoun
• altid = adverb

Because bolle is a common-gender noun, so its indefinite article is en.

• en bolle = a roll / bun

Also, in the indefinite singular common-gender form, the adjective usually stays in its basic form:

• en frisk bolle

Compare:

• en frisk bolle
• et friskt brød

So the article and adjective form depend on the gender and form of the noun.

Because with a common-gender singular indefinite noun, the adjective usually appears in its basic form.

So:

• en frisk bolle

But adjective forms can change in other situations:

• et friskt brød = a fresh bread
• friske boller = fresh rolls
• den friske bolle = the fresh roll

So frisk stays unchanged here because the noun is common gender, singular, and indefinite.

It means something like on Saturdays or on Saturday(s), as a regular habit.

So the sentence suggests this happens repeatedly, not just one time.

This is different from:

• på lørdag = on Saturday, meaning a specific upcoming Saturday

So:

• om lørdagen = every Saturday / on Saturdays
• på lørdag = this Saturday / next Saturday, depending on context

This is a common Danish pattern for habitual time expressions.

With days of the week, Danish often uses:

• om mandagen
• om tirsdagen
• om lørdagen

This means on Mondays / Tuesdays / Saturdays in a general, repeated sense.

So even though English uses a plural form, Danish often uses om + definite singular day name for regular habits.

Because the same subject can be shared by two verbs connected with og.

So:

• Bageren kender min bedstemor og giver hende altid en frisk bolle om lørdagen

means:

• The baker knows my grandmother and gives her a fresh roll every Saturday

Danish does not need to repeat bageren here, just as English does not need to repeat the baker in The baker knows my grandmother and gives her...
