When you fortjener something, it means you have earned it or that it is deserved. This word is used when someone has done something good and should be rewarded for it. For example, if you work hard, you fortjener a break. It's about what is fair and right for someone to receive.
When you fortjener something, it means you have earned it or that it is deserved. This Danish verb is very similar to the English phrase 'to deserve'.
You can use it in many contexts, for example, if someone has worked hard, you might say they fortjener a break. Or, if someone has been very kind, you could say they fortjener good things to happen to them.
It implies that an outcome is a fair or just consequence of someone's actions or qualities. Remember, it's about being worthy of something, whether it's positive or negative.
When using "fortjene", it implies a strong sense of meriting something, often due to one's actions, efforts, or inherent qualities. It's about earning something, good or bad, through what you've done or who you are. This word often carries a moral or ethical weight, suggesting that the outcome is a just reward or consequence. It's more than just 'getting' something; it's about rightfully deserving it.
§ Basic Usage: 'Fortjene' as a transitive verb
'Fortjene' is a transitive verb, meaning it generally takes a direct object. You'll use it to say someone or something deserves something else. It's pretty straightforward, just like 'deserve' in English.
Han fortjener en pause.
- Translation hint
- He deserves a break.
Hun fortjener en medalje.
- Translation hint
- She deserves a medal.
The direct object usually comes right after 'fortjene'. It's generally what is deserved.
§ 'Fortjene' with an infinitive
You can also use 'fortjene' with an infinitive (a verb in its base form, often preceded by 'at' in Danish). This is how you'd say someone deserves to do something, or something deserves to be done.
Du fortjener at vinde.
- Translation hint
- You deserve to win.
Det fortjener at blive fejret.
- Translation hint
- It deserves to be celebrated.
§ Common phrases and nuances
While 'fortjene' is often used positively, it can also be used in more negative contexts, just like 'deserve' in English.
Han fortjener en straf for det.
- Translation hint
- He deserves a punishment for that.
It's about what is justly due, whether good or bad.
§ No specific prepositions
Unlike some verbs, 'fortjene' doesn't usually require a specific preposition directly following it to link to its object. The direct object or the infinitive construction handles the connection.
You might see prepositions used later in the sentence to add more detail, but they won't be governed by 'fortjene' itself. For example:
Han fortjener en gave for sit hårde arbejde. (He deserves a gift for his hard work.)
De fortjener at slappe af efter den lange rejse. (They deserve to relax after the long journey.)
In these cases, the prepositions 'for' and 'efter' are related to the reason or timing, not directly linking to what is deserved.

Here's a quick look at how 'fortjene' conjugates, so you can use it correctly in different tenses.
- Infinitive
