passe در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Core meanings: to fit, to take care of.
- Context is key: prepositions like 'på' and 'til' change meaning.
- Common in shopping (fit) and family/pet discussions (care).
- Also used for 'to happen' ('passe på') and 'to suit' ('passe til').
- Meaning 1: To Fit
- When something is the right size or shape for a particular place or person. This is a very common use, especially when talking about clothes, furniture, or spaces. For example, if a shirt is too big or too small, it doesn't 'passe'. If a piece of furniture fits perfectly in a corner, it 'passer'.
- Meaning 2: To Take Care Of / Look After
- This meaning is about supervising, caring for, or looking after someone or something, often a child, an animal, or a responsibility. It implies active involvement in ensuring their well-being or proper functioning. For instance, parents 'passer' their children, or someone might 'passe' a pet while its owner is away.
- Meaning 3: To Happen / To Go On (with 'på')
- When used with the preposition 'på', 'passe' can mean to happen or to go on. This is often used in phrases like 'hvad passer der på?' (what's going on?). It can also refer to something being appropriate or suitable in a given situation.
- Meaning 4: To Suit / To Be Appropriate
- Similar to the 'fit' meaning, but more about suitability or appropriateness in a broader sense. For example, a certain behavior might not 'passe' in a formal setting.
Denne kjole passer mig perfekt.
Kan du passe børnene i aften?

Understanding how it functions with different objects and prepositions is key to using it correctly.
When 'passe' means 'to fit', it often describes how an item suits a person or a space. The subject is usually the item, and the object is the person or place it fits (or doesn't fit).
- Structure

Forældrene passer deres små børn omhyggeligt.

The meaning of 'passe' changes significantly when used with prepositions. 'Passe på' is one of the most common combinations.
- 'Passe på' - To Happen/Go On
- This phrase is used to ask about or describe what is happening.
Hvad passer der på?
Der passer ikke noget særligt.

'Passe' is a verb that permeates Danish daily life, appearing in a vast array of situations. Its dual meanings of 'to fit' and 'to take care of' make it incredibly useful for everyday communication.
The most common context for 'passe' related to 'fitting' is when shopping for clothes, shoes, or furniture. Sales assistants will ask if something fits, and customers will comment on it. You'll hear this in clothing stores, shoe shops, and even when buying home furnishings.
- Examples
- - 'Passer denne skjorte mig?' (Does this shirt fit me?)
- - 'Nej, den er desværre for lille. Den passer ikke.' (No, it's unfortunately too small. It doesn't fit.)
- - 'Sofaen passer perfekt ind i hjørnet.' (The sofa fits perfectly into the corner.)
The meaning 'to take care of' is prevalent when talking about children, elderly relatives, or pets. It's a core verb in discussions about childcare, pet-sitting, and family responsibilities.
- Examples
- - 'Min datter skal passe mine forældre, mens jeg er på ferie.' (My daughter will look after my parents while I'm on holiday.)
- - 'Har du brug for nogen til at passe din kat?' (Do you need someone to look after your cat?)
- - 'Han er god til at passe på sine små søskende.' (He is good at looking after his younger siblings.)
The phrase 'hvad passer der på?' or simply 'hvad sker der?' (what's happening?) is a common way to inquire about current events or general goings-on. It's a very informal way to start a conversation or check in with someone.
- Examples
- - Friend 1: 'Hej! Hvad passer der?' (Hi! What's up?)
- - Friend 2: 'Ikke så meget, bare slapper af. Hvad med dig?' (Not much, just relaxing. How about you?)
Although less frequent than the other meanings for learners, 'passe' can also imply suitability or appropriateness in a given context, often with 'til'.
- Examples
- - 'Den slags opførsel passer ikke til et formelt møde.' (That kind of behavior is not appropriate for a formal meeting.)
- - 'Er det her et passende tidspunkt at spørge?' (Is this an appropriate time to ask? - implicitly using 'passe')
'Passe' is a common verb, but its multiple meanings and interactions with prepositions can lead to confusion for Danish learners. Being aware of these common mistakes can significantly improve your accuracy.
This is perhaps the most frequent error. Learners might use 'passe' to mean 'to fit' when they intend 'to take care of', or vice versa. The context and prepositions are crucial here.
- Incorrect Example
- *'Jeg passer mine nye sko.'* (This sounds like 'I take care of my new shoes' rather than 'My new shoes fit me'.)
- Correct Usage (To Fit)
- 'Disse sko passer mig.' (These shoes fit me.)
- Correct Usage (To Take Care Of)
- 'Jeg skal passe mine nye sko godt.' (I need to take good care of my new shoes.)
The meaning of 'passe' is heavily influenced by its accompanying prepositions. Incorrectly using 'på', 'til', or omitting them can change the intended meaning entirely.
- Incorrect Usage (Meaning 'To Happen')
- * 'Hvad passer?' (This might be understood as 'What fits?' or 'What suits?' not 'What's happening?')
- Correct Usage (Meaning 'To Happen')
- 'Hvad passer der på?' (What is happening?)
- Incorrect Usage (Meaning 'To Suit')
- * 'Denne farve passer mig.' (This could mean 'This color fits me' in terms of size, but not necessarily that it suits the person aesthetically.)
- Correct Usage (Meaning 'To Suit')
- 'Denne farve passer til min hudtone.' (This color suits my skin tone.)
Sometimes learners might avoid 'passe' altogether, opting for a more literal translation that sounds unnatural in Danish. Conversely, using it too frequently in contexts where another verb might be more precise can also be a mistake.
- Example of Avoidance
- Instead of saying 'Skoene passer mig' (The shoes fit me), one might say 'Skoene er i den rigtige størrelse for mig' (The shoes are the right size for me), which is longer and less idiomatic.
- Example of Overuse
- Using 'passe' for every instance of 'to be suitable' when a more specific verb like 'være passende' (to be appropriate) or 'klæde' (to suit, for clothing) might be better.
While 'passe' is a highly versatile verb, Danish offers other words that can be used in similar contexts, sometimes with more specific nuances. Understanding these alternatives can enrich your vocabulary and help you express yourself more precisely.
'Sidde' is often used for how clothes fit, focusing more on the comfort and appearance of the garment on the body, whereas 'passe' is more about the actual size and whether it's too big or too small.
- 'Passe' (To Fit - Size/Shape)
- 'Denne jakke passer mig.' (This jacket fits me - implies it's the correct size.)
- 'Sidde' (To Fit - Comfort/Appearance)
- 'Jakken sidder godt.' (The jacket fits well - implies it looks good and is comfortable.)
- Combined Usage
- 'Denne jakke passer mig, og den sidder rigtig flot.' (This jacket fits me, and it fits really nicely/looks really good.)
'Holde øje med' means 'to keep an eye on', implying supervision, while 'tage sig af' is a more general 'to take care of' or 'to deal with'.
- 'Passe' (To Take Care Of - General)
- 'Jeg skal passe børnene.' (I need to look after the children.)
- 'Holde øje med' (To Keep an Eye On)
- 'Kan du holde øje med mine ting, mens jeg går på toilettet?' (Can you keep an eye on my things while I go to the toilet?)
- 'Tage sig af' (To Take Care Of - More formal/comprehensive)
- 'Han skal tage sig af den syge patient.' (He needs to take care of the sick patient.)
'Passe på' can also mean 'to be careful', similar to 'vær forsigtig'.
- 'Passe på' (To Be Careful/Watch Out)
- 'Du skal passe på!' (You need to be careful! / Watch out!)
- 'Være forsigtig' (To Be Careful)
- 'Vær forsigtig på isen.' (Be careful on the ice.)
While 'passe til' can mean 'to suit' or 'to match', 'være passende' is a more direct translation of 'to be appropriate' or 'to be suitable'.
- 'Passe til' (To Suit/Match)
- 'Den grønne bil passer godt til huset.' (The green car matches the house well.)
- 'Være passende' (To Be Appropriate)

ریشه کلمه
The Danish word 'passe' originates from Middle Low German 'passen', which itself comes from the Latin verb 'passare', meaning 'to step' or 'to stride'. This Latin root also gave rise to words like 'passage' and 'passion'.
معنای اصلی: The original Latin meaning 'to step' or 'to stride' evolved through Germanic languages to encompass ideas of 'fitting' or 'being appropriate', as in stepping into a place or a role correctly. The meaning 'to take care of' likely developed from the idea of 'keeping pace with' or 'attending to' someone or something.
Indo-European -> Italic -> Latin -> Romance -> Old French -> Middle English -> Middle Low German -> Danishبافت فرهنگی
When using 'passe' in the sense of 'to take care of', it's important to convey a sense of genuine responsibility and attentiveness. The verb itself is neutral, but the context and tone should reflect care and reliability. Avoid using it in a dismissive or careless manner when referring to people or living beings.
The English equivalents 'to fit' and 'to take care of' are very direct translations. However, the Danish usage of 'passe på' for 'to happen' is a specific idiomatic expression that doesn't have a direct, single-word equivalent in English.
