Questions & Answers about Min mand siger, at der er for meget olie i panden.
Yes, mand can mean both man and husband in Danish.
In a phrase like min mand, it normally means my husband, not my man in the general English sense. So:
- en mand = a man
- min mand = my husband
The possessive min makes it clear that this is a personal relationship.
Because mand is a common gender noun in Danish, not a neuter noun.
Danish has two grammatical genders:
- common gender: takes en, min
- neuter: takes et, mit
So:
- en mand
- min mand
If it were a neuter noun, you would use mit instead.
Siger is the present tense form of sige ().
