Basic Grammar for Danish

Nouns

Gender: Danish nouns have two genders:
common (en) and neuter (et).

Example: en bog (a book, common), et hus (a house, neuter).
Plural Form: Plural nouns often end in -er, -e, or -s.
Example: bøger (books), huse (houses), biler (cars).

Articles

Definite Article:
The definite article is attached to the end of the noun.
Example: bogen (the book), huset (the house).
Indefinite Article:
The indefinite articles are en (for common gender) and et (for neuter).

Pronouns

Subject Pronouns:
I: jeg
You (singular): du
He: han
She: hun
It: det
We: vi
You (plural): I
They: de

Verbs

Infinitive Form:
Danish verbs typically end in -e in their infinitive form.
For example, at danse (to dance).

Conjugation:
Danish verbs are not heavily conjugated.
The main form remains the same with different subjects.

Present Tense: Usually formed by adding an -r to the infinitive.
Example: danse (to dance) becomes danser (dances).

Adjectives

Agreement: Adjectives agree with the noun in gender and number.
Example: en stor bil (a big car), et stort hus (a big house), store biler (big cars).

Comparison: Form the comparative by adding -ere and the superlative by adding -est.

Example: stor (big), større (bigger), størst (biggest).

Sentence Structure

Basic Word Order:
Danish typically follows a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) structure.
Example: Jeg spiser et æble (I eat an apple).

Script Direction: Left to right, similar to most Latin scripts.

• Complete Sentences: Must have a subject and a verb.
  Example: "She runs."
• Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject and verb must match in number.
  Example: "He runs" (singular) vs. "They run" (plural).
• Use of Articles: "A" before consonant sounds,
  "an" before vowel sounds,
  and "the" for specific items.
  Example: "a book," "an apple," "the car."
  
• Consistent Verb Tenses: Maintain the same tense throughout a sentence.
  Example: "I went to the store and bought milk."
  
• Avoid Double Negatives: Two negatives create a positive.
  Example: "I don’t know anything" instead of "I don’t know nothing."
  
• Active vs. Passive Voice: Use active voice for clarity.
  Example: "Ravi wrote the report" is clearer than "The report was written by Ravi."
  

• Incorrect Question Formation: Invert the subject and auxiliary verb. Example of proper form: "Are you coming?"
  rather than improper: "You are coming?"
  
• Fragmented Sentences: Ensure sentences are complete.
  Example of proper form: "I left early because I was tired"
  rather than improper: "Because I was tired."
