よくある間違い

Danish compounds are always written as one word. Never put a space between the components.

Wrong: fodbold spiller
正解: fodboldsspiller

Like the S-connector, the E-connector requires the words to be fused into a single noun.

Wrong: hjerte ven
正解: hjerteven

Do not add an extra connector if the word flows naturally without one. Only use -s- when it is grammatically required.

Wrong: skole s vej
正解: skolevej
