| Hvad sagde han? - Hvad sagde han? (What did he say?) Et ordspil har fundet det danske forum (A word-game finds the Danish forum)... finally! We simply give a word for the next person to use in a sentence. With the word you choose, give its gender if a noun, please. Or, you may simply chose an adverb, adjective etc. Include English translations, please? It will help us understand what is being said, or what was attempted at being said:D. And natives, feel free to splice corrections between our posts, even if you don't feel like playing yourself. But if so, can you remind the next player what the next word was that they're suposed to use? Mange tak!:) We might aswell go alphabetically, to give it some pattern. (It doesn't have to begin with the next letter, though. eg. bo--->bog-->boghandel). I'll begin with the first word in my Danish dictionary; | |

| - [b]Abbedi, [i]-t[/i][/b] (abbey) Munken har boet i abbedit hele sit liv. -[i]The monk has lived in the abbey all his life[/i] næste ord (next word)> [b]abe -[i]n[/i][/b] (monkey) | |
| Stine | Saturday 19th of March 2005 10:35:33 PM |
| - [i]Hvad så han?[/i] means [i]What did he [b]see?[/b][/i] [i]Hvad sagde han?[/i] means [i]What did he say?[/i] "Ett" is spelled [i]et[/i]. I can't think of any words having double consonant in the end. I don't know why, but [i]slår Danmark[/i] just doesn't sound right. I don't know what to say, haha. Embarrassing! "Rammer", maybe? | |

| - Aben skal gå til lufthavnen i morgen. (The monkey is going to walk to the airport tomorow.) nyt ord: at bo (to live, reside) | |
| Ulven | Sunday 20th of March 2005 04:10:12 PM |
| - Nej, Dam_Skippy. Det er ikke sandt. Jeg er her at bo... PUNK! -[i]No, Dam_Skippy. That's not true. I am here to stay... PUNK![/i] [i]*'punk' is English inflection, not Danish[/i]. [b]bog [i]en[/i][/b] (book) | |

| - Munken holder af læse hans bog. (The munk likes to read his book.) > nyt ord: dame -en (lady) | |

| - Damen visede munkens bog til sin ven, og begyndte de at snakke om den. -[i]The lady showed the monk's book to her friend, and they began to talk about it.[/i] [b]at dreje[/b] to turn (on = op for, off = af for) *you don't have to use the off/on, I just included them incase. | |

De drejede af for fjernsynet fordi det var højlydt. (They turned off the televison because it was loud.) I doubt I wrote this correctly. at tåle (et, t) - to tolerate, endure | |
| Ulven | Monday 21st of March 2005 12:48:19 AM |
| - I was implying that I was that 'monkey' going to the airport:P. My silliness becomes obscurity, sometimes. Whoops! | |
| Dam_skippy | Monday 21st of March 2005 12:57:22 AM |
| - Sorry...My fault for not catching that. I feel slow now. silliness is only obscurity in the eyes of those who don't appreciate it. Or in my case, those that just messed up. i feel like an ass. | |

The last part [i]og begyndte de at snakke om den[/i] should be like the English one; subject before verb. Otherwise you have to add "så" before "begyndte". [quote]Munken holder af læse hans bog. (The munk likes to read his book.)[/quote] You just forgot "at" before læse. [i]Munken holder af [b]at[/b] læse hans bog[/i] When you say [i]hans bog[/i], you say the monk likes to read another male's book. Otherwise you have to say [i]sin bog[/i], to show that the monk likes to read his own book. [quote]De drejede af for fjernsynet fordi det var højlydt.

| - Hun kunne ikke tåle synet af ham [i]She couldn't stand the sight of him[/i] Det næste ord: [b]Drivvåd[/b] [i](-t, -e; -ere -est)[/i] soaked, drenched (adjective) [i]Drivvåd[/i] is formed by [b]drive[/b] (here, meaning pour) + [b]våd[/b] (wet) | |
| Ulven | Thursday 24th of March 2005 11:47:43 PM |
| - Jeg blev drivvåd på grund av at jeg faldt i en pyt. -[i]I became soaked because I fell in a puddle[/i]. [b]at drømme[/b] (to dream) | |
| Stine | Friday 25th of March 2005 04:34:59 AM |
| - Jeg blev drivvåd på grund [b]af[/b], at jeg faldt i en pyt. "Av" is something you say when you are being hurt ;) | |
| Stine | Friday 25th of March 2005 04:43:47 AM |
| - Jeg drømte en drøm i nat [i]I dreamt a dream last night[/i] Det næste ord: [b]at dyrke[/b] [i](-r,-de,-t)[/i] - to cultivate, grow - to idolize, worship[/i] [i][b]dyrke[/b][/i] comes from the Old Icelandic word [i]dyrka[/i] meaning [i]praise[/i] | |

| - Jeg dryker Freja og hendes utroligt kendskab af sproge. I wasn't sure about "of" here, or the plural of "sprog". I wasn't sure about any of it, actually. :P det næste ord: siden - since | |
| Ulven | Friday 25th of March 2005 02:59:51 PM |
| - ha ha, Freja. My [b]av[/b] was actually my trademark 'Swedanish':)lol. at-att, af-av etc. The hazard of learning both simultaneously :s.lol | |

It was good :p - Bare husk på, jeg har brug for vand ;) To say "hendes utrolige kendskab" is like saying "det utrolige kendskab". You don't use "af" because it's called "at kende [i]til[/i] noget". [i]Sprog[/i] is the same in plural - like other words: [i]Spørgsmål[/i] - Question(s) [i]Svar[/i] - Answer(s) [i]Mus[/i] - Mouse/mice [i]Sko[/i] - Shoe(s) Det næste ord: siden - since | |

| - Siden jeg var en dreng, jeg har findet på mange dum idé. -[i]Since I was a boy, I've dreamt up many silly ideas.[/i] [i](*plural- of dum= dum(e), and plural of idé= idé(e)? Ulven ved ikke om det:D.)[/i] *Om ordet [b]at dyrke[/b], er det bare sammenhæng som fortæller hvis ordet betyder 'cultivate' eller 'idolize', eller er det lille ord lig at/af/til/om etc., som fortæller meningen? -[i]About the word [b]at dyrke[/b], is it only context that determines the meaning of the word between 'cultivate' and 'idolize', or are there little words like at/af/til/om that determine the difference in meaning?[/i] det næste ord er > [b]at skræmme[/b] (to scare) | |
| Stine | Tuesday 29th of March 2005 10:11:22 PM |
| - Plural of dum is dumme and plural of idé is ideer (Frejaen ved det;)) I think you have to put in "nu", otherwise you should use "eftersom" instead of "siden", and I think you would use "er" instead of "var". Otherwise you would say something like [i]Siden jeg nu var en dreng, fandt jeg på mange dumme ideer[/i]. You can say it like you said it, but it could give a different meaning. Actually it really depends on what you mean, lol:D [i]Siden jeg nu er en dreng, [b]har jeg[/b] f[b]u[/b]ndet på mange dumme ideer[/i] [i]Siden jeg var dreng, har jeg fundet på mange dumme ideer[/i] [i]Efter som jeg er dreng, har jeg fundet på mange dumme ideer[/i] Ja, det er bare sammenhængen. Du behøver ikke bruge at,af, til osv. At sige, du dyrker nogen, virker stærkere end bare at sige, du beundrer nogen. Det næste ord er stadig: at skræmme (to scare) | |
| Sunday 03rd of April 2005 12:31:10 AM | |
| - Filmen skræmmede pigen, og hun kunnede (kunne?) ikke sove. mit nyt ord: at åbne (ede, et) - to open | |
| Dam_skippy | Sunday 03rd of April 2005 12:33:13 AM |
| - Filmen skræmmede pigen, og hun kunne(kunnede?) ikke sove. The moie scared the girl, and she couldn't sleep. is it kunne or kunnede? mit nyt ord: at åbne (ede, et) - to open | |
| Stine | Sunday 03rd of April 2005 12:51:14 AM |
| - It is [i]kunne[/i] and is irregular like [i]skræmte[/i] Dit ny[b]e[/b] ord er at åbne ;) | |
| Ulven | Wednesday 06th of April 2005 05:46:05 PM |
| - Når åbnede jeg døren, der stod han. -[i]When I opened the door, there he stood.[/i] Mit næste ord er> [b]at ligge[/b] (to lie)* [i]as in bed, not as in deception[/i]. If anyone is wondering why Freja corrected Dam_Skippy's "Mit nyt ord" to "Mit nye ord", it's because when you have a pronoun (or whatever mit/min/det/den/denne are called) the adjective (ny, in this case) takes the plural form. So; "Ordet er ny[b]t[/b]" (the word is new) but "Det ny[b]e[/b] ord" (the new word). | |
| Twizzla | Wednesday 06th of April 2005 07:16:17 PM |
| - I'm a regular reader of everything in here, its good to see the Danish forum livening up! :) But unfortunately for me university involves lots of work as well :( | |
| Jenkie | Wednesday 06th of April 2005 10:47:20 PM |
| - Jeg lå på stranden og tog sol. 'lå' is past tense of 'ligge' Ulven, just to correct you ;) when you are talking about something in past tense, 'when' is called 'da' in Danish. The correct sentence is then, 'Da jeg åbnede døren, stod han dér.' 'stod han dér', the reason for the accent above the e is (not many danes knows this!) when you are using 'der' as a position as in "He stood there *points*" then there actually should be an accent above the e. It is NOT very important though as only few danes know this. :) Mit næste ord er ~~> at hoppe (to jump) - but usually without a run-up. With a run-up it is 'at springe'. | |
| Stine | Thursday 07th of April 2005 03:48:08 AM |
| - Jenkie, så er jeg glad for at fortælle dig, jeg er en af de få danskere :p - eller jeg var egentlig ikke klar over, hvorfor jeg gjorde det, men ja.. Nå, var vejret [i]så[/i] godt? Jeg ved snart ikke.. Bliver det nogensinde sommer.. eller bare forår? Jeg venter stadig tålmodigt :) | |
| Ulven | Thursday 07th of April 2005 09:50:19 PM |
| - På grund af min hund at have bare tre bene, hun hopper op og ned, og hun springer om overalt som en kænguru. -[i]Because my dog has only three legs, she hops up and down, and jumps all over the place like a kangaroo[/i] *I don't like my chances of getting a sentence that long mistake-free. I assume 'at springe' was the best word to use to describe a kangaroo's motion, but I threw in 'at hoppe' aswell because they do hop around on the same spot sometimes :Dlol. Det følgende ord er> [b]fordi[/b] (because/as) -[i]The following word is>[/i] | |
| Jenkie | Friday 08th of April 2005 02:36:37 AM |
| - Jeg elsker sommeren, fordi det er så varmt. [i]-I love the summer because it's so hot-[/i] Næh Freja, jeg drømmer bare :) Gid det måtte blive sommer i morgen. Ok Ulven, ill just give you the correct sentence with a few comments: På grund af at min hund har* tre ben**, hopper hun op og ned, og hun springer rundt*** over det hele som en kænguru. * present tense of 'at have' is 'har' :) ** 'et ben' is called 'flere ben' [i]-more legs-[/i] in plural (irregular) *** you just chose the wrong prepostition ;) Next word --> et parti [i]-a political party-[/i] | |
| Stine | Friday 08th of April 2005 04:09:11 AM |
| - Tja, drømmer vi ikke bare allesammen? Ja, gerne! Hvor bliver den sol af? :) Jenkie, lyder det ikke bedre at sige [i]fordi[/i] i stedet for [i]på grund af[/i] i denne sammenhæng? - og egentlig ville du vel bruge [i]hun[/i] som subjekt for begge verber, altså [i](..)hopper hun op og ned og springer rundt[/i]. Jeg ved godt, det ikke lyder helt godt at bruge to [i]og'er[/i] så tæt på hinanden, men alligevel.. ;) Ulveven, you would use [i]kun[/i] instead of [i]bare[/i] in this context. Why, I can't explain right now - I have to think :p | |
| Jenkie | Friday 08th of April 2005 06:40:22 PM |
| - Jeg vil ikke sige det lyder bedre at sige 'fordi' men det er klart, det kan også bruges. Det var bare fordi Ulven nu brugte den vending, så ville det være syndt at ændre ;) Og jo, du har også ret i at man ofte kun ville bruge 'hun' én gang, men da det ikke er forkert at bruge det som Ulv gør, vil jeg ikke rette det. | |
| Stine | Friday 08th of April 2005 08:06:46 PM |
| - Hmm, vi tænker jo alle forskelligt, hehe ;) Nej, det siger jeg heller ikke. Men det var bare, fordi [i]she[/i] i den engelske oversættelse kun blev brugt én gang.. Men nok om dét ;) | |
| Ulven | Saturday 09th of April 2005 12:30:34 AM |
| - So, the usage of 'hun' is the same as in English 'she'? You don't need to repeat it when it's obvious you're still talking about the same person. It's good to have two perspectives on what should b corrected and what shouldn't. I guess my opinion would be that even if it's not the best choice of words, so long as it doesn't sound 'bizarre :S' it would be alright for a beginner to use it. But, it's very individual, as we all learn different ways. *Finaly I find out what 'kun' means:). It always looked like two verbs when I'd see "...kan kun..." in a sentence together. It really confused me :S lol. And, why is the word order 'hopper hun...' instead of 'hun hopper'? Is it because the first part of the sentence starts with "på grund af...". If it's a second clause to a sentence, you invert the "hun hopper", is that right? I'm understanding the inversion a bit, but I always get it wrong:)lol. Doesn't matter, I'll eventually learn to judge when to invert and when not to. Det nye ord er endnu> [b]et parti[/b] (a political party) | |
| Ulven | Friday 22nd of April 2005 12:38:52 AM |
| - Jeg tilhøre ikke til nogle parti, fordi jeg synes ikke om politike. Politike deprimerer mig. -[i]I don't belong to a political party because I don't like politics. Politics depresses me[/i]. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *I was going to say "politics [u]makes me[/u] depressed". Is there any correct way in Danish to say "blah blah.. [u]makes me feel[/u]... so and so"? eg. "This meal [u]is making me[/u] thirsty" "This person [u]makes me[/u] angry" And, at the end of my first sentence I wanted to emphasize using 'at all', but didn't know how to do so in Danish. eg. "I don't like him [u]at all[/u]" I assume Danish has its way of strengthening the emotion of a statement in a similarly common way as 'at all' in English? Or as a phrase, "Not at all!"? So it's stronger than simple "Nej". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [i]I'll skip the letter 'q' because it's not a Danish letter as such[/i]. den næste ord er> [b]at rejse[/b] (to travel) | |
| Jenkie | Friday 22nd of April 2005 02:36:40 AM |
| - makes me = gør mig this meal is making me thirsty - det her måltid gør mig tørstig This person makes me angry - den her person gør mig vred ..at all - overhovedet ikke I don't like him at all - Jeg kan overhovedet ikke lide ham This doesn't taste gd at all - det her smager overhovedet ikke godt | |
| Stine | Sunday 24th of April 2005 08:11:46 PM |
| - At rejse er at leve [i]To travel is to live[/i] Jeg tilhøre ikke til nogle parti, fordi jeg synes ikke om politike. Politike deprimerer mig. [i]Jeg tilhøre[b]r[/b] ikke [b]noget parti[/b], fordi jeg [b]ikke synes[/b] om [b]politik[/b]. [b]Politik[/b] deprimerer mig[/i] Det nye ord er [b]sagn[/b] [i](-et,-,-ene)[/i] [i]- legend[/i] [i]Sagn[/i] comes from the Germanic verb [i]saγēn[/i] - to say | |
| Ulven | Sunday 24th of April 2005 11:52:12 PM |
| - Jeg tror absolut, at jeg er jo et sagn. -[i]I truly believe that I'm a total legend.[/i].:D [b]sammen[/b] (together) | |
| Stine | Wednesday 27th of April 2005 02:28:00 AM |
| - Sorry, I didn't explain the word very well. [i]Sagn[/i] is a legend - a story. You would say: Jeg tror absolut, jeg er en [i](sand)[/i] legende [i]I absolutely think that I'm a (true) legend[/i] You can't use 'jo' in this context, unless you say [i]Jeg tror jo, at...[/i] but you're not expressing the same thing [i](en) legende[/i] - legend (a person, a story) [i](et) sagn[/i] - legend (a story) [i](en) myte[/i] - myth | |
| Ulven | Thursday 28th of April 2005 06:40:07 PM |
| - Så skal jeg prøve det igen. Har hører du sagnet av Freja, den danske gudinde? Det har jeg hørt ikke endnu. -[i]Have you heard the legend of Freja, the Danish Goddess? I haven't heard it yet.[/i] Jeg ved ikke hvis hun er en gudinde eller en prinsesse. Navnet 'Freja' er [u]jo[/u] fra en danskes myte? -[i]I don't know if she is a Godess or a Princess. The name 'Freja' does come form Danish mythology, yes?[/i] *Igen, jeg er sikker ikke hvordan at bruge ordet 'jo':D. -[i]Again, I don't know how to use the word 'jo' properly. I'm still experimenting. :D næste ord er endnu> [b]sammen[/b] (together) | |
| Stine | Friday 29th of April 2005 04:28:22 PM |
| - Har hører du sagnet av Freja, den danske gudinde? Det har jeg hørt ikke endnu. [i]Har [b]du hørt[/b] sagnet [b]om[/b] Freja, den danske gudinde? Jeg har ikke hørt det endnu[/i] [i]Av[/i] skal du jo stadig kun bruge, når du slår dig, eller når du taler svensk ;) Freja er en gudinde, en kærlighedsgudinde (sådan strengt taget, hun er mere end det). Navnet 'Freja' er jo fra den nordiske mytologi ;) Jo da, Ulveven! Her brugte du [i]jo[/i] rigtigt! næste ord er stadig> [b]sammen[/b] (together) | |

[/quote] I trust your knowledge of danish, but sætning is fælleskøn. The sentence is referring to itself, and so it would according to the rules be "denne". Since it sounds strange to you there must be another rule at work here, creating a further division between the deixic pronoun "this" and the sentence. For instance if I simply switched the word order, it would read "Denne sætning er flot". Dette obviously would not work here. It must be therefore a different usage for which I cannot find a rule. It is very strange that a word should be considered fælles when it is 'ordet' (altså intetkøn). If I replace the pronoun with the word it refers to, it would read "Jeb løb tit på ordet (or, det her ord) mens... The parallel divisions between grammatical case and materiality / concreteness is something I've not encountered with danish before, and have seen no rule regarding it in any book. Perhaps there is no conflict if one supposes that everything a sentence may possibly refer to is either en ting (a thing, which incidentally has common gender) or et begreb or infald (a concept, idea, which incidentally has neuter gender, though we may just as well have used "en tanke"). It would be strange but conceivable that the danish speaker always has these words in mind when classifying grammatically, so that s/he automatically associates the gender of a thing as common, and an idea as neuter, though technically many thing-words are also neuter and many idea-words are also common (as evidenced above by the idea-word sætning). | |

Please look at the sentence again. If you say [i]Dette er en flot sætning[/i] - "en flot sætning" is not referring to anything. It simply tells you what "dette" is, because "dette" is subject, and since you're talking about something abstract you have to use "dette". [i]Denne sætning er flot[/i] - Here "denne sætning" is subject and you have to use, like you say, "denne" because "sætning" is common. I can't really come up with any rules at the moment.

| - I just began to learn Danish...any advice on the basics? | |
| ulven | Friday 05th of August 2005 08:58:19 PM |
| - Myshel, all I can suggest is looking at the grammar threads here, and trying to write simple sentences introducing yourself. Or saying simple sentences like "My favourite colour is red" type things, and ask someone to correct them. It's hard to make general suggestions though. But I guess a bit of social interaction with Danes is what helps most. The best way to that is by trying simple sentences. An interaction will start from there. That's how I get to speaking with foreigners here. You'll need to have a dictionary and grammar book if you're studying on your own. --------- -Engang levede der en ulv derinde. -Hvor? -Denne mørke skov lige derovre. [i]-There once lived a wolf in there. -Which one? -That dark forest just over there.[/i] I may be getting carried away with the wordiness, but I'm trying to experiment with [i]derind, herind, indenfor[/i] and compound words like that :p. So, det næste ord er [b]indenfor[/b] - inside/within (if it's Freja or some other professional:p), or if it's another learner like me, det næste ord bliver [b](en) farve[/b] - (a) colour *I think I'm getting to big for my boots now :p. | |

Men du kan godt undvære det[/i] Actually, inside/with in can be translated with both [i]indenfor[/i] and [i]inden for[/i]. I'll explain this later. [quote] but I'm trying to experiment with derind, herind, indenfor and compound words like that:p.[/quote] Danish has what would you can call [i]to-formsbiord (two-forms adverbs)[/i]. That means that some adverbs have two forms - a long and a short one. That's why I changed [i]Engang levede (der) en ulv derind[/i] to [i]Engang levede (der) en ulv derind[b]e[/b]. I'll also explain this sometime later.

| - Hej Andrea! Velkommen til det danske forum! No, you didn't make a lot of mistakes, not at all. Even without your translation I would have understood, what you said in Danish. Actually, the "important" thing you do wrong, is the word order. You could check the post about word order (ordstilling) Jeg er nu her, så skal jeg lave mange fejl, men jeg vil prøve at spille! [i]Jeg er n[b]y[/b] her, så [b]jeg skal nok[/b] lave mange fejl, men jeg vil prøve at spille![/i] Må jeg det næste ord foreslå? Ok, det næste ord er sol (en, e) fordi den er stadig skinnende (?!) [i]Må jeg [b]foreslå[/b] det næste ord? Ok, det næste ord er sol (en,e,(ene)), fordi den stadig [b]skinner[/b][/i] See, that wasn't bad at all! :D Just a few comments: nu means now The word order in the sentence [i]Må jeg det næste ord foreslå[/i] reminds me of German. You also speak German, don't you? ..or know German In English you said [i]..it is still shining[/i]. Here you used extended present tense (?) is shining. You don't have that in Danish, so you can only use present tense skinner. You used skinnende as an adjective. That would be like saying [i]it is still shiny[/i]. What you said isn't absolutely wrong, but it doesn't really sound right to me Solen stod højt på himlen [i]The sun was high in the sky (actually: ..stood high on the sky)[/i] Det næste ord er: [b]at hyle[/b] [i](-r,-de-t)[/i] [i]Actual meaning: To say like a night owl (At sige som en natugle)[/i] | |

Thanks for your help Freja. You're right I'm learning german too and so sometimes I mix them up. I think the languages are similar but the word order is very different. ok...min sætning er: Natuglen hyler meget høj og så vågne alle i løbet af natten. Det næste ord er: besværlig (difficult, tiresome) hej hej | |
| Stine | Friday 02nd of September 2005 12:14:03 PM |
| - Det var så lidt. Man bruger altid [i]hjælp[/i] i bestemt form, så [i]tak for hjælp[b]en[/b][/i]. De fleste af sådanne udtryk er i bestemt form, men de lidt ældre er i ubestemt form, da dansk i fortiden ikke havde bestemt form. Det hedder foreksempel [i]at gå i biografen(/biffen) (to go to the movies)[/i], men [i]at gå i kirke (to go to church)[/i]. Det er svært at vide, når man taler engelsk, men man ikke rigtig sige [i]de sprog er lignende[/i]. Man ville derimod sige [i]sprogene ligner hinanden[/i] eller [i]de to sprog ligner hinanden[/i]. I sætningen [i]så somme tider blander jeg de sammen[/i] skal du huske at [i]de[/i] skal være [i]de[b]m[/b][/i], fordi det er genstandsled (object). I know this may be strange, but usually an owl in Danish doesn't [i]hyle[/i], but you can it. Sorry I didn't point this out, but I didn't really notice :D Usually you say [i]tude[/i] Natuglen hyler meget høj og så vågne alle i løbet af natten [i]Natuglen hyler meget høj[b]t[/b], og så vågne[b]r[/b] alle i løbet af natten[/i] Again, it was really good! I added [i]-t[/i] because [i]høj[/i] here is an adverb. Maybe you just forgot to write [i]r[/i], I don't know, but it can't be left out because it shows present tense. [i]Vågne[/i] is the infinitive. Det næste ord er: besværlig (difficult, tiresome) | |

| - Hej Wanbli! Velkommen til det danske forum Det er besværlig at lære et nyt sprog [i]Det er besværlig[b]t[/b] at lære et nyt sprog[/i] That was really good! :D Like in the last one I added [i]-t[/i]. You have to do that because [i]besværlig[/i] here is an adverb. Undskyld er det nye ord | |

| - 'undskylde mig', sagde drangen, når slog han pigen tilfældigt. 'I'm sorry', the boy said when he hit the girl accidently Det næste ord er: udvendig (outside) Freja, hvorfor er det 'det næste ord og det nye ord' og ikke 'det næstet ord og det nyt ord'. Freja, why it is it 'det næste ord og det nye ord' and not 'det næstet ord og det nyt ord' tak skal du have | |
| Stine | Monday 05th of September 2005 08:32:45 PM |
| - 'undskylde mig', sagde drangen, når slog han pigen tilfældigt [i][b]Undskyld/Det må du undskylde (Undskyld mig)[/b], sagde dr[b]e[/b]ngen, når [b]han slog[/b] pigen tilfældigt[/i] If you wanted to use [i]at undskylde sig[/i] in this context, you must say [i]undskyld mig[/i] - without the last [i]e[/i] in the infinitive. That's basically how imperatives are made in Danish. Usually [i]Undskyld mig![/i] is used in other contexts - like if you have to get past someone. I made a post about how to use [i]da[/i] and [i]når[/i] - as they both can mean [i]when[/i]. You used [i]når[/i], so the meaning of your Danish sentence is that every time [i](and it has happened more than once!)[/i] the boy hit [i](as in slapping)[/i] the girl, he said "I'm sorry". [quote]Freja, hvorfor er det 'det næste ord og det nye ord' og ikke 'det næstet ord og det nyt ord'[/quote] First of all, the "word" [i]næstet[/i] doesn't even exist ;) but you say [i]det ny[b]e[/b] ord[/i] because [i]det[/i] here is a definite article. Another example: Et grønt træ - Det grønn[b]e[/b] træ [i](A green tree - The green tree)[/i] Det næste ord er: udvendig (outside) | |

| - Hej, her er min næste sætning: Hi, here is my next sentence Om sommeren, kan jeg lide tage øl udvendigt i 'biergarten' i tyskland fordi vejret er stadig dejligt I realised that this raised several things that I don't know about in danish: 1. How do you use expression of time, such as in the summer, this summer, during the summer, etc. and would that be the same for, for example, on saturdays, this saturday, etc. 2. In danish, do you 'take drink' or simply 'drink', ie, at tage drik eller at drikke 3. what is the word for beergarden in danish (very important!) 4. what are the positions of adverbs in danish? 5. I realised after I suggested udvendig that is an adjective/adverb, so it used correctly here, or would yderside (which I think is the noun of outside) be better Sorry to hit you with so many questions (its amazing how one seemingly simple sentence can rise so many grammar points, and I'm sure I've missed others too :)) det næste ord er: at opføre (-te, -t) = to perform tusind tak, Andrea | |
| Stine | Thursday 08th of September 2005 12:40:59 PM |
| - Om sommeren, kan jeg lide tage øl udvendigt i 'biergarten' i tyskland fordi vejret er stadig dejligt [i]Om sommeren kan jeg lide [b]at[/b] tage øl [b]med ud(/udenfor)[/b] i 'biergarten' i Tyskland, fordi vejret [b]stadig er[/b] dejligt[/i] [quote]1. How do you use expression of time, such as in the summer, this summer, during the summer, etc. and would that be the same for, for example, on saturdays, this saturday, etc.[/quote] In the summer - om sommeren This summer - til sommer, denne sommer [i](Depends on the context)[/i] During the summer - Under sommeren, i løbet af sommeren [i](The last one is probably the best when using "sommer")[/i] Last summer - sidste sommer Yes, that would basically be the same. Like I said when using "sommer" it's best to say [i]i løbet af..[/i], it's best to say [i]under..[/i] when using "krig" (war). [quote]2. In danish, do you 'take drink' or simply 'drink', ie, at tage drik eller at drikke[/quote] We simply drink :D [i]At drikke[/i]. However, you could say [i]at tage noget at drikke[/i] [quote]3. what is the word for beergarden in danish (very important!)[/quote] Well, as far as my German allows me to think, I'd say it would be [i]ølhave[/i] ;) [quote]4. what are the positions of adverbs in danish[/quote] I'm about to explain that. I just have to figure it out myself :D I'll post it sometime soon ;) [quote]5. I realised after I suggested udvendig that is an adjective/adverb, so it used correctly here, or would yderside (which I think is the noun of outside) be better[/quote] As you can see, you wouldn't use "udvendig". No, "yderside" wouldn't be better. You'd have to use [i](med) udenfor[/i] or [i](med) udendørs[/i] here. Hehe, it's okay. Ask all the questions you want. If one doesn't ask, how would one know? ;) Det var så lidt! det næste ord er: at opføre (-te, -t) = to perform | |

| - Tak skal du have Freja, Her er den næste sætning: Pigen kan lide at opføre i skuespiller på teateret. I løbet af sommeren, er der mange forestillinger udendørs. The girl likes to perform in plays in the theater. During the summer, there are many performances outside. How do you say I like it alot, I don't like it? What are the different ways of expressing likes and dislikes in danish? So far I know at holder (meget) af and at kunne lide. Det næste ord er: i stedet (instead) Tusind tak og hav en god weekend | |
| Stine | Friday 09th of September 2005 09:20:17 PM |
| - Det var så lidt. Bare spørg ;) Pigen kan lide at opføre i skuespiller på teateret [i]Pigen kan lide at opføre [b]skuespil[/b] på teateret[/i] [i]at opføre[/i] has different meanings in Danish. If you wanted to say [i]..to perform in plays[/i], you wouldn't use [i]at opføre[/i], but [i]at optræde[/i]. The plural of [i]spil[/i] is [i]spil[/i] ;) [i]I løbet af sommeren er der mange forestillinger udendørs[/i] - Godt klaret! :D [quote]How do you say I like it alot, I don't like it? What are the different ways of expressing likes and dislikes in danish? So far I know at holder (meget) af and at kunne lide[/quote] Hmm, I think it depends on the context, but you could say [i]Jeg kan rigtig godt lide det[/i], [i]jeg kan virkelig godt lide det (here you really highlight it)[/i], [i]jeg er vild med det[/i] and so on :) I don't like it - [i]jeg kan ikke lide det[/i], [i]jeg bryder mig ikke om det[/i], [i]jeg er ikke vild med det[/i]. Again, it depends on the context. Det var så lidt! Tak og i lige måde.. og hav en god dag ;) Det næste ord er: i stedet (instead) | |

It has many more nice things to look at.[/i] *I'm not sure of how to say [i]look at[/i]. Would Danes use "ser om..." to mean look around.about, or would that mean [i]think about.../consider...[/i]? I didn't use "ser [u]ud[/u] til" because 'ser ud' I know to mean [i]seems[/i]. ---------- Jeg skal bruge et nyt ord, som har jeg bare nu lært... Så bliver det næste ord> [i]en[/i] [b]måde[/b] - manner/way | |
| Stine | Sunday 11th of September 2005 08:29:18 PM |
| - Ulveven, you just said [i]Det var imponerende dansk, tror jeg, Andrea;).[/i] = That was impressive Danish, I think (..but I'm not sure). It would be better to say [i].., synes jeg[/i]. Unless you actually meant that you weren't sure :p Ska vi gå denne vej i stedet? Den har mange flere køne ting at ser til [i]Ska[b]l[/b] vi gå denne vej stedet? Den har mange flere køn[b]n[/b]e ting, [b]man kan se på[/b][/i] Hmm, var det svensk eller bare en forglemmelse? Altså, [i]ska(l)[/i] ;) Jeg ændrede den sidste del af din sætning, fordi det ellers ville komme til at lyde som om, det var [i]vejen[/i], der havde mange flere ting at se på. Men ellers godt! :D [quote]*I'm not sure of how to say look at. Would Danes use "ser om..." to mean look around.about, or would that mean think about.../consider...? I didn't use "ser ud til" because 'ser ud' I know to mean seems.[/quote] [i]to look at[/i] would be something like [i]at kigge/se på[/i] and [i]to look around[/i] would be [i]at se sig om(kring) (reflexive verb)[/i]. [i]to consider[/i] would be [i]at overveje[/i]. It's better to say [i]Jeg vil (nu) bruge et nyt ord, som jeg lige har lært[/i] Hmm, I think I should explain the difference and similarity between [i]bare[/i] and [i]kun[/i]. Hehe, that sounded a little confusing - even to me :p Så [b]det næste ord bliver ;)[/B]> en måde - manner/way | |
| Stine | Tuesday 20th of September 2005 04:56:19 PM |
| - Hun sagde: "I lige måde!" [i]She said: The same to you/you too![/i] Det næste ord bliver så: [b]et barn[/b] [i](-et, børn, børnene)[/i] This noun is very irregular. According to my way of thinking the plural should have been [i]b[/b]æ[/i]rn[/i] (if it had to change the vowel) as other (not all!) [i]a/å[/i]-stem nouns differ that way: [i]en h[b]å[/b]nd - h[b]æ[/b]nder[/i], [i]en n[b]a[/b]t - n[b]æ[/b]tter[/i] - but well, that's Danish :D In both Swedish and Norwegian the singular and plural are [i]barn[/i] [i]Actual meaning: What is being carried (by the pregnant woman) - Det som bliver båret (af den gravide kvinde) [/i] | |

Godt, du er tilbage :) How are you (plural) - Hvordan har I det? ..and there are many other ways to say it, but this one shows that you're talking to several people Jeg for mit vedkommende har det fint. Hvad med dig? :) Barnet har fået mange gaver på sin fødselsdag - Godt klaret! Helt korrekt :D Because you did a great job, the only suggestion I have, is that you replace [i]mange[/i] with [i]en masse[/i]. [i]mange[/i] - [i]many[/i], [i]a lot (of)[/i] - [i]en masse, (masser af)[/i]. However, what you said doesn't change the meaning.. Så igen, godt klaret!

My friends father is a public person, but she obviously thinks that he is a good person. However, she wonders what people say about him. De næste ord bliver: at hjælpe og at redde The next words are: to help and to rescue | |

| - Hej alle, Jeg føler mig lidt federe efter julen, derfor må jeg sætte på diæt at blive tyndere igen. I feel a bit fatter after christmas, therefore I must go on a diet to become thinner again. NB: Jeg har fundet et par udtryk, som betyder 'to go on a diet': at sætte på diæt, at holde diæt og at være på slankkur. Er disse udtryk rigtigte? De næste ord bliver: sulten og fuld Hav en god weekend! | |

| - Oops! I have managed to post the wrong thing twice in the wrong place...am not having a good morning! Når jeg er på slankekur, er jeg altid sulten. Jeg vil hellere fuld og glad. Måske jeg skulle tage (gøre) nogen idræt i stedet! Freja, can you help me? I am unsure of how to say 'I prefer'. I know jeg vil hellere, jeg vil helst and jeg foretrække. What is the difference between these three and when would you use each one? Thanks a million, Andrea Oh! Before I forgot de næste ord er: at stemme på (to vote for) and et valg (choice, election) | |
| Stine | Friday 20th of January 2006 02:16:03 AM |

| - Når der er valg, så kan man stemme på et spesielt parti. Slik kan man selv hjælpe til at man får en bedre regjering. (BAD,BAD,BAD:(:(:() [i]When there's an election you can vote for a special party.

[b]Sådan/På den måde[/b] kan man selv hjælpe til, at man får en bedre re[b]ge[/b]ring No, it wasn't that bad :) The Danish word [i]slik[/i] means [i]candy[/i], [i]lick![/i] and so on :p Danish doesn't have many [i]-gj[/i]'s left. Only in words like: gjorde [i](past tense of 'gøre' which once was called 'gjøre')[/i] gjaldt [i](past tense of 'gælde' which once was called 'gjælde')[/i] gjalde That's all I can think of right now, hmm.

| - hi all! I have tried something a bit different. Rather than take two words and make a sentence/sentences. This time I have taken one word in english and tried to find the different associated words and meaning in danish. And then try to make sentences to use the word in the different contexts. Ok, here is what I did: To introduce: at præsentere (ede, et) - to introduce [at præsentere sig - to introduce yourself] at forestille for (?, ?) - to introduce to [obs! at forestille sig - to ima | |
