Questions & Answers about Kan De se, om det samme foder også passer til en ung kanin?
De is the formal, polite way to say you in Danish. It is capitalized to distinguish it from de, which normally means they.
In modern spoken Danish, using De sounds quite formal, old-fashioned, or very polite. You might see it in customer service, formal letters, or when addressing someone respectfully, especially in older-style language.
So in this sentence, Kan De se ...? means Can you tell/check ...? in a polite form.
Because this is a yes/no question.
In Danish, yes/no questions usually put the finite verb first:
- De kan se det. = You can see it.
- Kan De se det? = Can you see it?
So Kan De se ...? follows normal Danish question word order: verb + subject + infinitive.
