Questions & Answers about På forsiden af dokumentet står titlen med store bogstaver.

Why does forsiden end in -en?

Because forsiden is the definite singular form of forside, meaning the front page / the front side / the front.

In Danish, you usually make a noun definite by adding the article to the end of the word:

• en forside = a front page / a front side
• forsiden = the front page / the front side

So på forsiden means on the front page or on the front/front side, depending on context.

Why is it af dokumentet instead of something like dokumentets?

Both are possible in Danish.

• forsiden af dokumentet = the front page of the document
• dokumentets forside = the document’s front page

The version with af is often very natural and common, especially in everyday Danish. The -s genitive form (dokumentets) can sound a bit more compact or formal, depending on context.

So this sentence uses a very normal Danish structure:

• forsiden af dokumentet

Why does dokumentet end in -et, but titlen ends in -en?
