Word by Word

Jeg Jeg means “I” and is the subject of “Jeg vil gerne have...”. Use it when stating what you personally want or request, such as in a software support exchange.
vil Vil expresses want or intention in “Jeg vil gerne have...”. Together with gerne, it is a common way to make a polite request about something you would like to happen.
gerne Gerne adds the meaning “would like to” or “gladly” in “vil gerne have”. The pattern “Jeg vil gerne have...” is useful when making a polite request or expressing a preference.
have Have means “have” in “vil gerne have, at dashboardet gemmer...”, where it expresses wanting the dashboard to make something happen. The reusable construction is “vil gerne have, at” followed by the desired action, for example when describing a requested feature.
at At has two functions here: lowercase “at” introduces the clause “at dashboardet gemmer...”, while capitalized “At” introduces the infinitive phrase “At skifte filtre...”. Use it after “vil gerne have” to introduce a desired action and before an infinitive when that action is the subject of a sentence.
dashboardet Dashboardet means “the dashboard” in “at dashboardet gemmer...”. The ending makes the form definite, so it refers to the specific dashboard being discussed; use it when identifying the software area whose behavior is requested.
gemmer Gemmer means “saves” in “dashboardet gemmer tilpassede visninger”. It describes what the dashboard should do with the views, and the same subject-plus-action pattern is useful when explaining a software feature.
tilpassede Tilpassede describes the views as customized or adapted in “tilpassede visninger”. It comes directly before the plural noun “visninger”, so use it to specify that the views have been adjusted to a user’s preferences.
visninger Visninger means “views” in “tilpassede visninger” and “gemte visninger”. It refers to dashboard displays or arrangements, so it is useful when discussing which saved or customized dashboard configurations a user wants.
Flere Flere means “several” in “Flere brugere”. It indicates that the request comes from more than one user, and it is useful when reporting that a feature has been requested by a group of customers.
brugere Brugere means “users” in “Flere brugere har bedt om...”. It identifies the people using the software, so the phrase is useful when describing feedback from customers or other people using a system.
har Har is the auxiliary in “har bedt om”, meaning that users have asked for something. This construction is useful when reporting a request that has already been made and remains relevant now.
bedt Bedt means “asked” or “requested” in “har bedt om en måde...”. Together with har and om, it forms the request expression “har bedt om”, which is useful when describing what users have requested.
om Om means “for” in the request expression “bedt om en måde”. It introduces the thing being requested, so use “bedt om” before the requested feature, option, or solution.
en En is the indefinite article before “måde” in “en måde at beholde... på”, meaning “a way”. It introduces one possible method or solution, which is useful when proposing how a task could be done.
måde Måde means “way” or “method” in “en måde at beholde deres sædvanlige opsætning på”. The construction “en måde at ... på” is useful for describing a method of achieving a particular result.
beholde Beholde means “keep” or “retain” in “at beholde deres sædvanlige opsætning”. It describes continuing to use the same setup instead of changing it, and it follows at in this infinitive construction.
deres Deres means “their” in “deres sædvanlige opsætning”. It shows that the setup belongs to the users mentioned in the sentence, so use it when referring to something associated with those people.
sædvanlige Sædvanlige means “usual” in “deres sædvanlige opsætning”. It identifies the setup the users normally use, making it useful when discussing a familiar routine or standard configuration.
opsætning Opsætning means “setup” or “configuration” in “deres sædvanlige opsætning”. It refers to the selected arrangement of the dashboard, so it is useful when explaining what a saved view should preserve.
På has two roles in the dialogue: it closes the construction “en måde at beholde deres sædvanlige opsætning på”, and it follows focusere in “fokusere på private, gemte visninger”. Use it at the end of “en måde at ... på” and after “fokusere” to mark the method or topic concerned.
skifte Skifte means “switch” or “change” in “At skifte filtre”. Here it describes changing filters as an activity, and the infinitive phrase is useful when explaining a task that takes time.
filtre Filtre means “filters” in “skifte filtre”. It names the dashboard controls being changed, so use it when describing the settings a user repeatedly adjusts during a review.
igen Igen means “again” in the repeated expression “igen og igen”. Repetition emphasizes that the filters are changed repeatedly, a useful pattern when describing an action that happens over and over.
og Og means “and” in “igen og igen”, linking the repeated adverb. This pattern strengthens the idea of repetition and is useful when describing an action that keeps happening.
spilder Spilder means “wastes” in “spilder tid”. It describes time being used inefficiently because of repeated filter changes, and the pattern “spilder tid” is useful when explaining an inefficient process.
tid Tid means “time” as the object of “spilder” in “spilder tid”. The phrase is useful when explaining that a repeated software task makes a routine less efficient.
under Under means “during” in “under de ugentlige gennemgange”. It places the repeated filter changes within the review period, so use it to connect an activity with the time or event during which it happens.
de De is the definite plural article in “de ugentlige gennemgange”, meaning “the”. It appears before the adjective and plural noun when referring to the specific weekly reviews being discussed.
ugentlige Ugentlige means “weekly” in “de ugentlige gennemgange”. It specifies that the reviews happen every week, so it is useful for describing a recurring work schedule.
gennemgange Gennemgange means “reviews” or “walkthroughs” in “de ugentlige gennemgange”. It refers to the regular examination of the dashboard, making it useful when discussing a recurring review process.
Gemte Gemte means “saved” in “Gemte visninger”. It describes views that have been stored for later use, so the phrase is useful when explaining the feature that would make the review routine faster.
kunne Kunne means “could” in “kunne gøre den rutine hurtigere”. It presents a possible benefit rather than a guaranteed result, which is useful when discussing what a proposed feature might achieve.
gøre Gøre means “make” in “gøre den rutine hurtigere”. The construction “gøre” plus an object and an adjective describes causing something to become a certain way, useful when explaining the effect of a feature.
den Den means “that” or “the” in “den rutine” and refers back to the review routine already mentioned. Use it to point to a specific singular routine that both speakers understand.
rutine Rutine means “routine” in “den rutine”. It refers to the recurring process of reviewing the dashboard, so it is useful when discussing how a feature could improve an established work process.
hurtigere Hurtigere means “faster” in “gøre den rutine hurtigere”. It describes an improvement in speed, and it is useful when explaining that a software change would reduce the time needed for a routine.
Det Capitalized “Det” means “it” in “Det ville være nyttigt” and introduces an evaluation of the proposed sharing function. Lowercase “det” in “det meste af mit problem” belongs to the quantity expression meaning “most of”, so the two occurrences have different functions.
ville Ville means “would” in “ville være nyttigt” and “ville kræve”. It presents a hypothetical result or requirement, which is useful when discussing the likely consequences of a proposed feature.
være Være means “be” in “ville være nyttigt”. It follows ville to describe the proposed sharing function as useful, and the pattern is useful when evaluating a possible option.
nyttigt Nyttigt means “useful” in “Det ville være nyttigt”. It gives a positive evaluation of sharing views with teammates, so it is useful when explaining the practical value of a requested feature.
hvis Hvis means “if” and introduces the condition “hvis visninger kunne deles med teammedlemmer”. Use it when describing a possible situation and its expected benefit or consequence.
deles Deles means “be shared” in “visninger kunne deles med teammedlemmer”. It describes the views being made available to other people, so it is useful when discussing a sharing function or access arrangement.
med Med means “with” in “deles med teammedlemmer”. It identifies the people who would receive access to the shared views, and the same pattern is useful when specifying who something is shared with.
teammedlemmer Teammedlemmer means “teammates” or “team members” in “deles med teammedlemmer”. It identifies the intended colleagues, so the phrase is useful when discussing sharing within a work team.
Deling Deling means “sharing” in “Deling ville kræve regler for tilladelser”. It names the sharing function as a topic or feature, which is useful when discussing its requirements separately from saving views.
kræve Kræve means “require” in “Deling ville kræve regler for tilladelser”. It states what would be needed for sharing to work, so the pattern is useful when explaining technical or policy requirements.
regler Regler means “rules” in “regler for tilladelser”. It refers to the rules governing permissions, so it is useful when discussing how access to shared views should be controlled.
for For means “for” in “regler for tilladelser”. It links the rules to the permissions they regulate, and this pattern is useful when naming the subject or purpose of a set of rules.
tilladelser Tilladelser means “permissions” in “regler for tilladelser”. It refers to the access rights that would need to be managed for sharing, so it is useful in a discussion about feature access and control.
Så means “so” in “så vi kunne behandle det separat”. It connects the permission requirement with the proposed consequence of handling sharing separately, making it useful for explaining a decision or result.
vi Vi means “we” in “vi kunne behandle det separat”. It refers to the people making the product or support decision, so it is useful when proposing what the team could do next.
behandle Behandle means “handle” or “treat” in “behandle det separat”. It describes dealing with sharing as a separate topic or work item, and the pattern is useful when dividing a broader request into parts.
separat Separat means “separately” in “behandle det separat”. It specifies that sharing should be handled apart from saved personal views, so it is useful when distinguishing two related feature areas.
Selv Selv means “even” in “Selv en personlig version”. It emphasizes that a limited personal version would still be sufficient, which is useful when explaining that a partial solution would solve an important need.
personlig Personlig means “personal” in “en personlig version”. It describes a version intended for an individual user rather than shared use, so it is useful when distinguishing private functionality from team sharing.
version Version means “version” in “en personlig version”. It refers to one form or scope of the proposed feature, making it useful when comparing a personal feature with a later shared feature.
løse Løse means “solve” in “ville løse det meste af mit problem”. It describes the expected effect of the personal version, and the pattern is useful when explaining which part of a user’s problem a feature would address.
meste Meste means “most” in “det meste af mit problem”. The expression indicates the majority of the problem rather than all of it, so it is useful when describing a solution that would cover most needs.
af Af means “of” in the quantity expression “det meste af mit problem”. It connects “most” with the whole problem being measured, so use it when specifying the larger thing from which a portion is taken.
mit Mit means “my” in “mit problem”. It shows that the problem belongs to the speaker, so it is useful when describing a personal difficulty or requirement.
problem Problem means “problem” in “det meste af mit problem”. It identifies the difficulty the requested feature would address, making the phrase useful when explaining the customer’s remaining need.
første Første means “first” in “det første skridt”. It identifies the initial stage of the proposed work, so it is useful when outlining a phased approach to developing a feature.
skridt Skridt means “step” in “det første skridt”. It refers to one stage in the implementation process, and the phrase is useful when proposing what should be done initially.
fokusere Fokusere means “focus” in “fokusere på private, gemte visninger”. It describes directing the first development effort toward personal saved views, and it is commonly used with på to introduce the focus.
private Private means “private” in “private, gemte visninger”. It specifies that the saved views are intended for individual use rather than sharing, so it is useful when defining the scope of an initial feature.
