This sentence translates to 'His arrogance was boundless.' The order follows a standard Danish sentence structure: Subject (Hans arrogance) + Verb (var) + Adjective (grænseløs).
This sentence means 'I could not stand his presumption.' It follows the pattern: Subject (Jeg) + Modal verb (kunne) + Negation (ikke) + Main verb (udholde) + Object (hans anmasselse).
This translates to 'Her forwardness was perceived as rude.' The sentence structure is: Subject (Hendes fremfusenhed) + Auxiliary verb (blev) + Past participle (opfattet) + Preposition (som) + Adjective (uhøflig).
This sentence structure (subject-verb-object) is typical in Danish. 'Din stadige anmasselse' is the subject, 'gør' is the verb, and 'det svært for mig at respektere dig' is the object clause.
The phrase 'holde ud at høre på' means 'to bear listening to'. The placement of 'hans anmasselse' after this phrase is natural.
The phrase 'uden sidestykke' means 'unparalleled'. The sentence flows correctly with 'Hendes anmasselse' as the subject, followed by the verb 'var' and then the descriptive phrase.
