Bliver sutten væk, finder vi næsten altid en ny i pusletasken.

This is an idiomatic Danish expression.

• at blive væk = to get lost / to go missing
• at være væk = to be gone / to be missing

So:

• Sutten er væk = The pacifier is gone
• Sutten bliver væk = The pacifier gets lost / goes missing

Literally, bliver væk looks like becomes away, but that is not how it is understood in real Danish.

Because Danish can leave out hvis in conditional sentences when the verb comes first.

So these mean essentially the same thing:

• Bliver sutten væk, finder vi næsten altid en ny i pusletasken.
• Hvis sutten bliver væk, finder vi næsten altid en ny i pusletasken.

This verb-first pattern is quite natural in Danish. In English, it is a bit like:

• If the pacifier gets lost...
• or more formally, Should the pacifier get lost...

Because this is that verb-first conditional structure.

In a normal statement, you would have:

• Sutten bliver væk. = The pacifier gets lost.

But when Danish uses this shortened conditional pattern without hvis, the verb moves to the front:

• Bliver sutten væk, ...

So the structure signals: if the pacifier gets lost...

This is because of the Danish V2 rule: in main clauses, the finite verb normally comes in the second position.

The first position here is already taken by the opening clause:

• Bliver sutten væk

So the main clause begins with the verb:

• finder vi næsten altid en ny i pusletasken

Compare:

• Vi finder næsten altid en ny i pusletasken. = normal word order
• Bliver sutten væk, finder vi næsten altid en ny i pusletasken. = after the fronted conditional clause, the verb comes before the subject

Sut means pacifier in standard Danish.

So:

• en sut = a pacifier
• sutten = the pacifier

Depending on the variety of English, a learner may also think of dummy rather than pacifier.

Because Danish is referring to a specific, understood pacifier — probably the baby's pacifier in the situation being discussed.

Danish often uses the definite form when the object is already known from context.

So sutten here does not mean pacifiers in general. It means something more like:

• the pacifier
• the pacifier we are talking about
• the baby's pacifier

Because Danish often leaves out a noun when it is obvious from context.

Here, en ny means:

• a new one

The omitted noun is sut.

So:

• finder vi næsten altid en ny
  literally = we almost always find a new one
• fully expanded = finder vi næsten altid en ny sut

This is very common and natural in Danish.

Pusletaske means diaper bag or changing bag.

It is made up of:

• at pusle = to change/care for a baby, especially changing diapers
• taske = bag

So:

• i pusletasken = in the diaper bag / in the changing bag

The ending -en makes it definite:

• pusletaske = a diaper bag
• pusletasken = the diaper bag

Næsten altid means almost always.

In this sentence it modifies the whole action:

• finder vi næsten altid en ny = we almost always find a new one

Its placement is natural in Danish. It comes after the subject in the main clause here:

• finder vi næsten altid ...

If the sentence began normally, you could also have:

• Vi finder næsten altid en ny i pusletasken.

So the adverb phrase is not unusual; it is just sitting in the normal place for that clause structure.

It is in the present tense, but the meaning is really general/habitual.

It means something like:

• Whenever the pacifier gets lost, we almost always find a new one in the diaper bag.

So it is not just about one single present moment. It describes what typically happens in that situation.

This is very normal in Danish: the present tense is often used for general truths, habits, and likely future situations.

Yes. A common alternative would be forsvinder:

• Hvis sutten forsvinder, finder vi næsten altid en ny i pusletasken.

That would mean something like:

• If the pacifier disappears / goes missing...

But bliver væk sounds very natural and everyday in this kind of family context. It has a practical, colloquial feel.

The comma separates the opening conditional clause from the main clause:

• Bliver sutten væk, | finder vi næsten altid en ny i pusletasken.

It helps show the structure clearly:

• If the pacifier gets lost, ...
• we almost always find a new one in the diaper bag.

So even if a learner is mainly focused on grammar rather than punctuation, the comma is useful because it marks the break between the two parts of the sentence.
