Min hue ligger stadig i tasken fra i går.

Because hue is a common gender noun in Danish.

Danish has two grammatical genders:

• common gender → uses en and possessives like min
• neuter → uses et and possessives like mit

Since it is en hue, you say:

• min hue = my hat/beanie

Compare:

• en taske → min taske
• et hus → mit hus

So mit hue would be wrong.

Hue usually means a soft hat, often a knitted winter hat, so in English it is often translated as:

• hat
• beanie
• woolly hat
• sometimes cap, depending on context

It does not usually mean just any kind of hat in every situation. It often suggests the kind of hat you wear in cold weather.

In Danish, it is very common to use verbs like ligge, stå, and sidde to describe where something is, depending on its position.

Here:

• ligger literally means lies / is lying

So Min hue ligger i tasken is more natural than simply saying Min hue er i tasken.

The idea is that the hat is lying in the bag. Danish often prefers this more physical description.

A few common location verbs:

• ligge = lie, be lying
• stå = stand, be standing
• sidde = sit, be situated/fixed in a certain way

Examples:

• Bogen ligger på bordet. = The book is on the table.
• Flasken står på bordet. = The bottle is on the table.
• Nøglen sidder i låsen. = The key is in the lock.

Ligger is present tense.

The infinitive is:

• at ligge = to lie

Present tense:

• ligger = lies / is lying

So the sentence is in the present:

• Min hue ligger stadig i tasken fra i går.

Even though fra i går refers to the past, the main situation is still true now, so present tense is used.

Stadig means still.

In this sentence:

• Min hue ligger stadig i tasken fra i går.
• literally: My hat is still lying in the bag from yesterday.

Its position is very natural in Danish: it comes after the finite verb ligger.

A useful pattern is:

• subject + finite verb + adverb + ...

So:

• Min hue = subject
• ligger = finite verb
• stadig = adverb

This is a very common word order in ordinary statements.

I tasken means in the bag.

The noun taske appears in the definite form:

• en taske = a bag
• tasken = the bag

Danish often uses the definite form when the speaker assumes the listener already knows which bag is meant.

So:

• i tasken = in the bag
• i en taske = in a bag
• i min taske = in my bag

All are possible in other contexts, but i tasken suggests a specific, known bag.

Fra i går means from yesterday or since yesterday, depending on how naturally you would say it in English.

In this sentence, it means the hat has been in the bag since yesterday.

So the full idea is:

• My hat is still in the bag from yesterday
• more naturally in English: My hat is still in the bag; it’s been there since yesterday.

This phrase usually refers to the time span of the situation, not to the bag itself.

Because i går is a fixed Danish expression meaning yesterday.

It is made up of:

• i = in
• går = yesterday / historically related to an older time expression

But for learners, the important thing is simply to memorize:

• i dag = today
• i morgen = tomorrow
• i går = yesterday

These are standard written forms, and i går is always written as two words.

Normally, it describes the whole situation: the hat has been in the bag since yesterday.

So the meaning is not usually:

• the bag from yesterday

It is usually:

• the hat is still in the bag, and that has been true since yesterday

If you wanted to make the time connection clearer, Danish could also say something like:

• Min hue har ligget i tasken siden i går.

That version makes the since yesterday meaning even more explicit.

Yes. A very natural alternative is:

• Min hue har ligget i tasken siden i går.

This means:

• My hat has been lying in the bag since yesterday.

That version focuses more directly on the duration from yesterday until now.

The original sentence with ligger stadig ... fra i går is also understandable and natural, but many learners will notice that Danish often uses:

• har ligget ... siden i går

when talking about something that started in the past and is still true now.

You move the finite verb before the subject:

• Ligger min hue stadig i tasken fra i går?

This is standard Danish word order for yes/no questions.

Statement:

• Min hue ligger stadig i tasken fra i går.

Question:

• Ligger min hue stadig i tasken fra i går?

So Danish often forms questions by inversion: verb first, then subject.
