New here!
Just moved to Denmark to be with my wife who’s from here. Looking forward to keep learning.

What do you think about her progress? After 9 months of living here.
I'm jealous, personally, because I've lived here for a few years now and can't remember how my Danish was when I was 9-10 months in to sprogskole.
My Danish understanding is fine, but writing and speaking are still very challenging.

Is this a commonly used idiom?
As in the title. I suppose that this is, eventhough duolingo doesn’t explain it, an idiom. Is it used often or is it more oldschool?

Am I dumb or is this absolute nonsense?!
Where even is the coffee in that sentence?!?! Mind you I wrote "Goodness gracious the coffee" because what else would make sense right? But it was wrong. Goodness gracious it is, my lord 🙇🏻♀️
Is this right? Like am I wrong in this? Or is duolingo wrong?
Btw what do you suggest to learn Danish pronunciation? Duolingo is not good for that...
Thank you in advance!

My attempt at reading some of the Danish cuisines as a non-native learner of this silly language (that I love)
Now I did this half jokingly, so take that as you will

I saw this title in a newspaper and I am wondering why they used "sit" instead of "hans".
My danish husband told me it should be sit not hans but couldn't explain why.

Jeg ved ikke at, at hvor laver Duolingo sit øvelse, men jeg synes at, nogen løb tør for ideer.

diagram like this for Danish?
I saw this diagram in the English subreddit for English prepositions. I was wondering if anyone had something like it for Danish prepositions, bc those are the hardest for me to grasp.

hvor vs hvordan
hi! i am confused about the difference between "hvor" and "hvordan".
i understand that "hvor "means "where", and "hordan" means "how", but in some phrases that is not the case. for example, "HVOR hej er du?" means "HOW tall are you?", but "HVOR er du?" means "WHERE are you?". why is it phrased "hvor. hoi er du?" instead of "hordan hoj er du?"? i do not understand.
why is hvor sometimes used to say "how", despite the fact it directly translates to "where"? can someone please explain why, that'd be great! :)

I'm confused about this translation on Duolingo!
r/danishlanguage • u/Kiwi1Kenobi • Jan 09 '24
Can someone please explain how the hell this works?
My brain is melting trying to process how this translation happens
r/danishlanguage • u/Batmom222 • Nov 26 '23
What does this mean?
I find the English sentence a bit too vague (if not completely wrong) Is it supposed to be like "some type of tough guy"?

How to say “wife” without offending my wife
I tried to call my wife, who is Danish, “Kone” today, thinking it was a direct translation of “wife”. She was not so happy… and explained to me that the word in Danish is a bit old school and has certain connotations that she doesn’t like.
She suggested I use “kæreste” or “dame” but they don’t capture exactly what I’m trying to say (that we are literally married). Is there a way I can say this without offending her?

How is a root a fruit?
Got confused at Rema1000 today.. The sign on the shelf said "Farvede Rødder" I got that. But why are they called Blandet Rodfrugter on the scale button? They aren't fruit! Why is this and why can't it be thesame word?!

Does anyone else love the way Danes pronounce the name Anna?
"As an American named Anna, I have to say: I much prefer the Danish way of saying my name over the Swedish version. The Swedish 'Aaaa-nah' is a bit too much, but the Danish 'Anna' is so crisp and modern. It’s actually made me rethink how I say my own name!"
if anyone is confused danes pronounce Anna closer to ann-uh or eh-nah which i much prefer over the open ah-na in disney's frozen.

Two questions... One, why does é exist in Dansk? Two. Why I instead of Med Forelsket?

Is this how you’d say a telephone number?? Very odd translation to English

Shouldn't it be "Han kan lære" here?
I read on a grammar book that the enunciative sentences should have the verb at the second position in the sentence (because it a V2 language)... Here is in the first as in a inversion... Tak
