Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Danish
I speak one language [singular form] jeg taler et sprog
we speak three languages [plural noun] vi taler tre sprog
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] han besøger mange lande
they are happy now [plural pronoun] de er glade nu
she has five red shoes [adjective + plural noun] hun har fem røde sko
I want a sandwich without onions [preposition + plural noun] jeg vil gerne have en sandwich uden løg

Emergency Phrases

Now it's time to practice your Danish by looking at these phrases which are related to emergencies. Be prepared when traveling abroad, just in case you need help or by offering help to someone else. I recommend writing these expressions down on a notebook before traveling.
