Questions & Answers about Hun håber at blive ansat i firmaet.
Here, at is the infinitive marker, so it means to.
So:
- at blive ansat = to be hired / to become employed
Danish at can also mean that in other sentences, so this is a very common point of confusion for learners. In this sentence, it is definitely the to-type at, not the that-type.
Because Danish normally uses at before an infinitive.
After håber, you normally say:
- håber at blive
- not håber blive
English sometimes drops to in certain structures, but Danish usually keeps at unless the verb is a modal verb such as kan, vil, skal, må.
So:
- Hun håber at blive ansat = correct
- Hun håber blive ansat = not standard Danish
