When you're learning Danish at an A2 level, understanding everyday words like 'tallerken' (plate) is really useful. It's a common noun you'll hear often in homes, restaurants, and when talking about food.
Knowing this word helps you with simple conversations, such as asking for a plate or understanding directions when someone tells you where the plates are.
It's pronounced with a soft 't' sound at the beginning, similar to the 't' in 'stop', and the 'e' sounds are like the 'e' in 'bed'.
Practicing words like 'tallerken' builds your foundational vocabulary for daily interactions in Danish.
When talking about eating in Danish, you'll often use 'tallerken'. For example, if you're setting the table, you might say, 'Jeg dækker bordet med tallerkener' (I'm setting the table with plates). If you're offering food, you could say, 'Vil du have en tallerken mere?' (Would you like another plate?). Remember, 'tallerken' is a common and essential word for everyday mealtime conversations.
§ What is a tallerken?
In Danish, a 'tallerken' is a plate. It's a common noun you'll use every day, whether you're eating breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a fundamental piece of kitchen vocabulary.
- DEFINITION
- a flat dish for serving food
The word 'tallerken' is a common gender noun. This means it takes the indefinite article 'en' (en tallerken) and the definite article '-en' when singular (tallerkenen). For plural, it's 'tallerkener' (indefinite) and 'tallerkenene' (definite).
§ Examples of tallerken in sentences
Let's look at some practical examples to help you understand how 'tallerken' is used in different contexts.
Kan du venligst række mig tallerkenen?
This translates to: Can you please pass me the plate? Here, 'tallerkenen' is in the definite singular form, meaning 'the plate'.
Vi har brug for flere tallerkener til aftensmaden.
This means: We need more plates for dinner. Here, 'tallerkener' is the indefinite plural form, referring to 'more plates' in general.
Hun spiste alt maden fra sin tallerken.
This translates to: She ate all the food from her plate. In this sentence, 'tallerken' is in the indefinite singular form, but with the possessive pronoun 'sin' (her/his/its own), it refers to a specific plate.
§ Related words and phrases
While 'tallerken' is pretty straightforward, it's good to know some related terms that you might encounter in the kitchen or at the dinner table.
Dyb tallerken: A deep plate, often used for soup. Think of it as a soup bowl but still called a type of plate.
Flad tallerken: A flat plate, for main courses.
Frokosttallerken: A lunch plate. Danes often eat open-faced sandwiches (smørrebrød) for lunch, which are served on these.
Spisetallerken: A dinner plate, or eating plate in general.
Vasketallerken: A washbowl or basin. While it has 'tallerken' in it, it's not for serving food. It's a good example of how words can combine in Danish.
§ When to use tallerken vs alternatives
In Danish, 'tallerken' is the go-to word for a plate. There aren't many direct synonyms that you'd use in everyday conversation when referring to a plate for food. However, there are other items that hold food, and it's important to differentiate them.
Skål: This means 'bowl'. You would use a 'skål' for things like cereal, soup (though a 'dyb tallerken' is also common for soup), or salads. A 'tallerken' is generally flatter and has less depth than a 'skål'.
Jeg vil have min suppe i en skål.
I want my soup in a bowl.
fad: This refers to a 'dish' or 'platter', usually a larger, often oval or rectangular, serving dish rather than an individual plate. You'd serve multiple portions from a 'fad'.
Der er et stort fad med kartofler.
There is a large dish with potatoes.
Bakke: This is a 'tray'. While you might put plates on a tray, a 'bakke' itself is not for eating directly from, nor is it typically individual like a 'tallerken'.
Bær bakken med kaffe ind.
Carry the tray with coffee in.
The key distinction is function: a 'tallerken' is for an individual serving of food, typically a main course or side. A 'skål' is for liquidy or smaller, loose foods. A 'fad' is for serving multiple people. And a 'bakke' is for carrying things.
How Formal Is It?
"Server middagen på et stort fad, tak. (Serve dinner on a large platter, please.)"
"Sæt venligst tallerkenerne på bordet. (Please put the plates on the table.)"
"Hvad har du på din platte? (What do you have on your plate?)"
"Spis din mad op fra din spisetallerken. (Eat all the food from your dinner plate.)"
"Jeg skal lige fylde mit bæger. (I just need to fill my dish/bowl.)"
Wusstest du?
The word 'tallerken' is related to the German word 'Teller', which also means plate.
