Questions & Answers about Genbruget bliver lettere, når vi sorterer glas og metal for sig.

Why does genbrug become genbruget here?

Genbruget is the definite singular form of genbrug, meaning the recycling.

In Danish, many nouns add -et or -en to mean the ...:

• et hus → huset = the house
• genbrug → genbruget = the recycling

Here, Danish is talking about recycling in a general but specific sense: recycling as a system/process becomes easier.

What exactly does bliver lettere mean?

Bliver lettere means becomes easier.

• bliver = becomes / gets
• lettere = easier

So this is about a change of state:

• not just that recycling is easy
• but that it becomes easier

That is why bliver is used instead of er.

Why is it lettere and not let?

Because lettere is the comparative form of let.

• let = easy / light
• lettere = easier
• lettest = easiest

In this sentence, the idea is that recycling is easier than before or easier because of sorting, so Danish uses the comparative.
