Questions & Answers about Kan De logge ind med det link, som læreren har sendt?

Why is De capitalized, and what kind of you is it?

De is the formal, polite form of you in Danish. It is traditionally capitalized to show respect.

So:

• De = formal you
• du = informal you

In modern Danish, du is much more common in everyday life, and De can sound very formal, old-fashioned, or especially polite depending on the context.

So this sentence is more polite than:

• Kan du logge ind med det link, som læreren har sendt?

Why does the sentence start with Kan?

Because this is a yes/no question.

In Danish, yes/no questions usually begin with the finite verb. Here, the finite verb is kan.

Compare:

• Statement: De kan logge ind ...
• Question: Kan De logge ind ... ?

This is similar to English:

• You can log in ...
• Can you log in ... ?
