§ How to use it in a sentence
Alright, let's get practical with "regering." This word is a common one, especially if you're following Danish news or talking about politics. It refers to the government, the group of people running the country. Think of it like the cabinet or the administration in English.
"Regering" is a common noun. In Danish, nouns have gender, and "regering" is a common gender noun. This means it takes the article "en" in its indefinite singular form and "en" for its definite singular form (when it's specified). For example, "en regering" (a government) and "regeringen" (the government).
When you're talking about *a* government generally, you'll use the indefinite form:
Danmark har en ny regering.
Translation hint: Denmark has a new government.
If you're talking about *the* specific government currently in power or one that's already been mentioned, you'll use the definite form:
Regeringen stemte for lovforslaget.
Translation hint: The government voted for the bill.
Prepositions are key here. You'll often see "regering" used with prepositions like "i" (in), "med" (with), "af" (of), or "under" (under).
i regering: This phrase means "in government." It's used when a party or coalition is in power.
Socialdemokratiet er i regering.
Translation hint: The Social Democrats are in government.
med regeringen: Meaning "with the government." You use this when someone is cooperating with or supporting the government.
Oppositionen arbejder ikke altid med regeringen.
Translation hint: The opposition does not always work with the government.
af regeringen: This translates to "by the government" or "of the government." It's often used to indicate who made a decision or implemented something.
Et nyt lovforslag blev fremsat af regeringen.
Translation hint: A new bill was put forward by the government.
under regeringen: Meaning "under the government." This is used to describe something that falls within the government's jurisdiction or is happening during their term.
Nye reformer er kommet til under regeringen.
Translation hint: New reforms have come about under the government.
You might also see "regering" combined with other words to form compound nouns, like "regeringskrise" (government crisis) or "regeringsparti" (government party). Danish loves its compound nouns, so keep an eye out for them!
So, whether you're reading the news, discussing politics, or just trying to understand everyday Danish, knowing "regering" and its common uses will definitely boost your comprehension. Keep practicing these examples, and you'll get the hang of it!

§ Examples of 'regering' in use
Let's look at some examples to see how 'regering' is used in Danish sentences.
Den danske regering har annonceret nye reformer.
This translates to: The Danish government has announced new reforms. Here, 'regering' refers specifically to the current government in Denmark.

§ Similar words and when to use 'regering' vs alternatives
In Danish, 'regering' is the most direct translation for 'government'. However, depending on the context, you might encounter or consider other words. Let's break them down.
- Stat (State): While 'stat' can sometimes refer to the governing apparatus, it usually means the country itself or the broader administrative body. 'Regering' is specifically about the people and parties in power.
Danmark er en velfærdsstat.
This means: Denmark is a welfare state. Here, 'stat' refers to the nation and its system, not just the ruling political parties.
- Ministerium (Ministry): A 'ministerium' is a specific department within the government (e.g., 'Udenrigsministerium' - Ministry of Foreign Affairs). The 'regering' is composed of these ministries and their ministers. So, a ministry is a part of the government, not the government as a whole.
Finansministeriet styrer landets økonomi.
This translates to: The Ministry of Finance manages the country's economy. This is a specific part of the government.
- Folketing (Parliament): The 'Folketing' is the Danish parliament, the legislative body. The 'regering' (executive body) typically relies on the support of the majority in the 'Folketing' to pass laws. They are related but distinct entities. The 'regering' proposes laws and governs, while the 'Folketing' debates and approves them.
Lovforslaget skal vedtages af Folketinget.
This means: The bill must be passed by the Parliament. This refers to the legislative process.
When to use 'regering':
- When you are talking about the executive branch of a country.
- When you are referring to the specific political parties and individuals currently in power.
- When discussing government policy, actions, or decisions.
When to use alternatives:
- Use 'stat' when talking about the country as a political entity, its administrative system, or its general welfare.
- Use 'ministerium' when referring to a specific department responsible for a particular area.
- Use 'Folketing' when discussing the legislative process, parliamentary debates, or the elected representatives.
Understanding these distinctions will help you speak and write more accurately in Danish about political topics. 'Regering' is your go-to for the active governing body.

Regering comes from the Latin 'regere,' meaning 'to rule' or 'to guide.' This reflects its core meaning of governing or ruling a state.
Regering is generally a formal term. You wouldn't typically use it in casual conversation about managing your household, for instance. For less formal contexts, you might use 'ledelse' (leadership) or 'styring' (management), depending on the specific situation.
While not a specific idiom, you might hear 'regeringskrise' (government crisis) quite often in Danish news. This refers to a situation where the government is unstable or facing a major challenge to its power.
Regering is the *body* that governs, while stat refers to the *state* itself, meaning the country as a whole, including its territory, population, and institutions. The regering is an organ of the stat.
