Lesson 1 (page 7 of 10) Grammar
forward

The personal pronoun as subject
Singular    
Jeg bor i København I live in Copenhagen
Du taler godt dansk** You speak good Danish
Han er lærer He is a teacher
Hun kommer fra Århus She is from Århus
Det er en god fest It is a good party

Plural (more than one)    
Vi taler dansk We speak Danish
Hvad laver I?** What are you doing?
De kender Mads They know Mads

 
** Note the 2 different forms of "you" in Danish (du and I).


Prepare yourself for 2 extra forms of "you" later when you learn the personal pronoun as object
(me, you, him, her, it // us, you, them). In English the form remains the same ("you") in all 4 cases.
Danish, of course, expresses the 4 forms separately.
