Review Summary

  • Hej / Goddag
  • Jeg hedder [Name]
  • Tak / Selv tak
  • Hvordan går det?
  • Vi ses / Hej hej

सामान्य गलतियाँ

While 'Jeg er' means 'I am', Danes strictly use 'Jeg hedder' (I am called) for names.

Wrong: Jeg er [Name]
सही: Jeg hedder [Name]

Translating 'How are you' literally to 'Hvordan er du' is incorrect. 'Hvordan går det' asks about the state of things.

Wrong: Hvordan er du?
सही: Hvordan går det?

Using 'Goddag' with friends sounds overly stiff. Match your greeting to the situation.

Wrong: Goddag to everyone
सही: Use 'Hej' for friends and 'Goddag' for formal situations.
