Har du fået nyt job? Fedt nok!

In Danish, yes/no questions usually put the finite verb first.

• Statement: Du har fået nyt job. = You have got a new job.
• Question: Har du fået nyt job? = Have you got a new job?

This is similar to English inversion in Have you... ?

Har fået is the present perfect.

It is formed with:

• har = present tense of have
• fået = past participle of få (to get)

So:

• har fået = have gotten / have got

Danish uses this tense much like English does: for something that happened before now and is relevant now. A new job is a current result, so Har du fået nyt job? sounds very natural.

Fået is the past participle of få.

The verb changes like this:

• infinitive: at få = to get
• present: får = get / gets
• past: fik = got
• past participle: fået = gotten / got

It is an irregular verb, so you just have to learn the forms.

Because job is a neuter noun in Danish:

• et job

The adjective ny must agree with the noun, so with a neuter singular noun it becomes nyt:

• et nyt job = a new job

Compare:

• en ny bil = a new car
• et nyt job = a new job

Both are possible, but without the article is very common and natural in Danish in this kind of expression.

• Har du fået nyt job? = very idiomatic, conversational
• Har du fået et nyt job? = also correct

Without et, the phrase sounds a bit more like have you got new employment / have you found yourself a new job situation. With et, it can feel a little more specific: a particular new job.

So this is not a mistake—just a very normal Danish way of saying it.

Yes, absolutely.

That version is completely correct. The difference is mostly one of style and nuance, not basic meaning.

• Har du fået nyt job? = very common, idiomatic, conversational
• Har du fået et nyt job? = slightly more explicit, a bit more concrete

As a learner, you should understand both and feel free to use either, though the version without et is especially natural here.

Fedt nok! is a casual positive reaction. It is something like:

• Cool!
• Nice!
• That’s great!

It is informal and spoken-sounding. A Danish speaker might use it to react enthusiastically to good news.

Yes, nok can mean enough, but not here.

In Fedt nok!, nok works more like a particle that helps shape the tone. It does not literally mean enough. In this expression, it makes the reaction sound natural and conversational.

So Fedt nok! is best learned as a set phrase meaning something like Pretty cool! / Nice!

Depending on tone of voice, nok can sometimes make a phrase sound a little softer or less intense, but here it is still clearly positive.

It is not a full sentence in the strict grammatical sense. It is an elliptical expression, meaning some words are left out because the meaning is obvious.

You can think of it as short for something like:

• Det er fedt nok! = That’s pretty cool!

In everyday speech, Danish often uses these short reaction phrases without a subject or verb.

It is informal.

You would hear it in:

• conversation
• texting
• casual speech among friends or colleagues

In a more formal or neutral setting, you might say:

• Det lyder godt. = That sounds good.
• Hvor dejligt! = How lovely!
• Tillykke med det! = Congratulations on that!

So Fedt nok! is very natural, but definitely casual.

Both words exist, but they are not always used in exactly the same way.

• job often means a specific job position
• arbejde can mean work more generally

So:

• Har du fået nyt job? = Have you got a new job?
• Har du fået nyt arbejde? = Have you got new work / new employment?

In this sentence, job sounds very natural because the speaker is asking about a new position.
