Questions & Answers about Pyt med det, vi kan gøre det i morgen.

What does pyt mean here?

Pyt is a very common Danish interjection meaning something like never mind, oh well, don’t worry about it, or let it go.

In this sentence, it helps create a relaxed attitude: something has happened or not worked out, but the speaker is saying it is not a big problem.

Why does Danish say Pyt med det?

Pyt med det is a fixed expression. Idiomatically, it means never mind that or forget about that.

Literally, med det means with that, but you should not translate the whole phrase word for word. It works as one chunk in Danish.

So it is best learned as: Pyt med det = Never mind that

Is Pyt med det a full sentence even though there is no verb?

Yes. In normal grammar terms, it is not a full sentence with a subject and finite verb, but in real Danish it functions perfectly well as a complete utterance.

This is common with interjections and fixed expressions. English does the same:

Never mind.
No problem.
Forget it.

So Pyt med det is natural even without a visible verb.

Is pyt formal or informal?

It is mostly informal and very common in everyday speech. It sounds friendly, conversational, and comforting.

You can use it:

with friends
with family
with children
in casual workplace situations

In very formal writing or official communication, you would usually choose something less casual.

Why is det used twice in Pyt med det, vi kan gøre det i morgen?

The two det words do different jobs.

In Pyt med det, det refers to that situation / that problem / that thing
In vi kan gøre det i morgen, det is the object of gøre and means it

So even though the form is the same, the role is different in each part.

English can do the same:

Never mind that, we can do it tomorrow.

Why is it vi kan gøre det and not vi kan det gøre?

Because after a modal verb like kan, the main verb stays in the infinitive: gøre.

The normal pattern is:

subject + modal verb + infinitive + object

So:

vi = subject
kan = modal verb
gøre = infinitive
det = object

That gives: vi kan gøre det

This is similar to English:

we can do it not
we can it do

What tense is kan gøre? Is it present or future?

Grammatically, kan is in the present tense. But like English, Danish often uses the present to talk about the future when the meaning is clear.

So: vi kan gøre det i morgen literally has present-tense kan, but the phrase i morgen makes the future meaning clear.

English works similarly:

We can do it tomorrow.

There is no special future ending needed here.

Why does Danish use i morgen instead of just morgen?

Because i morgen is the normal adverbial expression meaning tomorrow.

By itself, morgen usually means morning.

So:

i morgen = tomorrow
i morges = this morning
i morgen tidlig = tomorrow morning

If you say just morgen, it will often be understood as morning, not tomorrow.

Why is there a comma after det?

The comma separates the introductory expression Pyt med det from the main clause vi kan gøre det i morgen.

It marks a pause in writing, like: Never mind that, we can do it tomorrow.

Here, Pyt med det works almost like a stand-alone comment before the main message.

How do you pronounce pyt and gøre?

These are both tricky for English speakers.

pyt contains the Danish y, which is like the vowel in German ü or French u. English does not really have this sound.
gøre contains ø, which is also a front rounded vowel, somewhat like German ö or French eu.

Very rough guides:

pyt ≈ püt
gøre ≈ something like gøh-rə, though the real Danish pronunciation is more reduced and smoother than that

The safest approach is to listen to native audio and imitate it, because Danish vowel quality is hard to learn from English spelling alone.

Could I translate Pyt med det, vi kan gøre det i morgen word for word?

You could, but it would sound unnatural in English. A word-for-word version would be something like:

Never mind with that, we can do it tomorrow

That is not good English. So this is one of those cases where you should understand the structure, but learn the natural meaning as a whole:

Pyt med det, vi kan gøre det i morgen
= Never mind that, we can do it tomorrow / Don’t worry about it, we can do it tomorrow
