Word by Word

Hvad “Hvad” asks for the thing or activity being referred to: here it means “what” in “Hvad gør du efter undervisningen?”. A reusable question pattern is “Hvad” followed by the action and the person, useful when asking someone about their activities.

gør “Gør” expresses the action in “Hvad gør du efter undervisningen?”, meaning “do” here. It appears with “du” in a question about someone’s activity, so “Hvad gør du ...?” is a useful pattern for everyday questions about what someone does.

du “Du” refers to the person being addressed: “you” in “Hvad gør du efter undervisningen?”. It is used when speaking directly to one person, as in a question about that person’s routine.

efter “Efter” means “after” and places “undervisningen” later in time in “efter undervisningen”. A reusable pattern is “efter” followed by an event or time, for example when describing what happens after an activity.

undervisningen “Undervisningen” refers here to the lesson or teaching session that has just taken place. It is used after “efter” in “efter undervisningen”, a useful expression for talking about what happens once a lesson is over.

Jeg “Jeg” identifies the speaker as “I” in “Jeg bliver her og repeterer”. It is commonly placed before the action when the speaker describes their own activity or plan.

bliver “Bliver” means “stay” or “remain” in “Jeg bliver her”, telling us that the speaker does not leave the current place. A reusable pattern is a person followed by “bliver” and a place, useful when saying that someone will remain somewhere.

her “Her” means “here” and identifies the current place in “Jeg bliver her og repeterer”. It is useful when the speaker and listener share or can see the place being discussed.

og “Og” means “and” and connects the two activities in “Jeg bliver her og repeterer”. It is used to join actions or pieces of information that belong together, such as staying and reviewing.

repeterer “Repeterer” means “review” or “repeat” in “Jeg bliver her og repeterer”, referring to going over the lesson material again. It can follow a subject to describe a review activity, especially after a lesson.

Kan “Kan” expresses ability or permission as “can” at the beginning of “Kan vi bruge dette lokale lidt endnu?”. A reusable question pattern is “Kan” plus the person and intended action, useful when asking whether something is possible.

vi “Vi” means “we” and refers to the speaker together with at least one other person in “Kan vi bruge dette lokale lidt endnu?”. It is used when asking about or describing an action shared by the speaker and others.

bruge “Bruge” means “use” in “Kan vi bruge dette lokale lidt endnu?”, describing the intended use of the room. After “Kan vi”, a useful pattern is “bruge” followed by the object or place that someone wants to use.

dette “Dette” means “this” and points to the specific room in “dette lokale”. It is useful when identifying one nearby or clearly understood thing, especially together with the noun it describes.

lokale “Lokale” means “room” or “premises” in “dette lokale”, referring here to the classroom. It can be used as the place or object after “bruge” when discussing whether a room is available for an activity.

lidt “Lidt” means “a little” and limits the amount of extra time requested in “lidt endnu”. Here it describes a small extension of time, and a reusable pattern is “lidt” with an expression of amount or duration.

endnu “Endnu” contributes the idea of continuing for longer in “lidt endnu”. Together with “lidt”, the expression asks for a small additional period, useful when requesting to continue an activity or stay somewhere.

Det “Det” means “that” or “it” and refers here to the information just mentioned in “Det er godt at vide”. A reusable pattern is “Det er” followed by an evaluation, useful when commenting on a situation or piece of information.

er “Er” links the subject and the evaluation in “Det er godt at vide”, meaning “is” here. It is commonly used in the pattern “Det er” plus a describing word when giving an assessment.

godt “Godt” means “good” and, in “Det er godt at vide”, evaluates the information as helpful to know. The pattern “Det er godt at vide” is useful when someone gives information that makes a situation easier to understand or handle.

at “At” introduces the action “vide” in “at vide”, giving the phrase the meaning “to know”. A reusable pattern is “at” followed by an action when that action is part of a larger expression.

vide “Vide” means “know” in “at vide”, referring to having information or awareness. The expression “godt at vide” is useful as a response when someone has provided helpful information.

Så “Så” means “then” and connects the information just received with the next suggestion in “Så lad os repetere her sammen”. It is useful at the start of a sentence when moving from a conclusion to a resulting action.

lad “Lad” helps introduce the joint suggestion “lad os repetere her sammen”, meaning “let” in “let’s review here together”. The reusable pattern “lad os” followed by an action is useful when proposing something for the speaker and another person to do together.

os “Os” means “us” in the suggestion “lad os repetere her sammen”, referring to the speaker and the other person together. It appears in the reusable pattern “lad os” when inviting a group that includes the speaker to do something.

sammen “Sammen” means “together” and shows that the reviewing in “lad os repetere her sammen” is a shared activity. It is useful after an action when emphasizing that people are doing it with one another.
