Basic Danish: PRONOUNS

[@lohphat]

35 (almost 40!) years ago when I started learning Danish after starting to learn German, you wouldn't use "du" with someone you didn't know -- similarly to not using "du" in German or "tu" in French. That was the start of the usage shift from du/De (du/Sie, tu/Vous) to du only. Now it's essentially complete. De/Dem is reserved for the monarchy and very respected people. I remember seeing Victor Borge in an interview in Danish and the hosts always used "De" with him (he died in 2000). German is going through this now where if you're speaking to someone who appears under 40 or so, you can start off with du to a stranger. This was unheard of as recently as 20 years ago. French however is still pretty strict with tu/Vous and you would NEVER use it with a stranger -- there may be some shifting for those under 20 but French culture has an ingrained sense of respect for others and Vous is still mandatory initially then one can relax a bit depending on the company culture. But walking into a shop and starting off with "tu" will get you a bit of a shocked look. The other change is "hende" has shifted from bi-syllabic "hen-ne" to monosyllabic "hen' " in fast colloquial speech.

I find your video now, and I really appreciate for that 🙏 thank you so much ❤

[@sherrysuen5284]

Thank you very much for your video. It is very clear. Further to your video, I have two question: 1. What is common noun and neutral noun? 2. "Sin, Sit and Sine" means his own/ her own/ its own, so when should we use sin/sit/sine?

[@InDanish]

1. Some languages have grammatical gender. There’s some logic behind it, but most of the time it may seem completely random. In Danish, nouns (objects) are separated into two gender groups: common (‘en’ article) and neuter (‘et’ article). You have to memorise pretty much every noun along with its article. Et æble - æblet (an apple - the apple). En bil - bilen (a car - the car). 2. Say, there are two people A and B. A has a car and likes it very much: A kan godt lide sin bil. (A likes his/her (own) car). Now, if it’s A who has a car but B who likes it, you say this: B kan godt lide hans/hendes bil. (B likes his/her (A’s) car). You use sin with en-nouns, sit with et-nouns, and sine with plural forms of nouns. Hope this helps.

When you say pronounces, it is better to make pauses longer, because when you try to learn something new, you need time to repeat it.
