Questions & Answers about Tandbylden bliver større.

Why is tandbylden one word?

Danish very often forms compound nouns as a single word.

• tand = tooth
• byld = abscess, boil
• tandbyld = tooth abscess / dental abscess

Then -en is added to make it definite:

• tandbyld = a dental abscess
• tandbylden = the dental abscess

So tandbylden is literally the tooth-abscess.

Why is there no separate word for the?

In Danish, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of appearing as a separate word before it.

Here:

• byld = abscess
• bylden = the abscess
• tandbylden = the dental abscess

This is very common in Danish. English says the dental abscess, but Danish often builds the the into the noun itself.
