When you're just starting out in Danish, words like "vise" are really useful. It means to show or to allow to be seen. Think of it like pointing something out to someone so they can see it.
You can use "vise" in many simple situations. For example, you might "vise" someone a photo, or "vise" them the way somewhere. It's a fundamental verb for basic communication.
When we use the word "vise" at a C2 level, we are often talking about something more profound than simply showing. It can imply revealing a deeper truth, demonstrating a complex skill, or exhibiting a characteristic in a nuanced way.
For instance, one might "vise visdom" (show wisdom) not just by stating facts, but by making insightful decisions over time. It can also be used in more abstract contexts, like a piece of art that "viser sorg" (displays sorrow) through its composition and color.
§ How to use 'vise' (to show)
'Vise' is a common Danish verb. It means 'to show' or 'to display'. It's often used when you want to make something visible to someone else. You'll hear it a lot in everyday conversation.
§ Basic sentence structure with 'vise'
The simplest way to use 'vise' is with a direct object. This is the thing being shown.
- Structure
- Subject + 'vise' + direct object
Jeg vil vise dig billedet.
Translation hint: Jeg (I) vil (want to/will) dig (you - object pronoun) billedet (the picture).
Kan du vise mig vejen?
Translation hint: Kan du (Can you) mig (me - object pronoun) vejen (the way/road).
§ 'Vise' with an indirect object
You can also use 'vise' to show something *to* someone. In Danish, the person you show it to is often an indirect object. It usually comes before the direct object.
- Structure
- Subject + 'vise' + indirect object (person) + direct object (thing)

Translation hint: Han (He) vil (wants to/will) os (us - object pronoun) sit nye hus (his new house).
Læreren viste eleverne filmen.
Translation hint: Læreren (The teacher) viste (showed - past tense of 'vise') eleverne (the students) filmen (the film/movie).
§ 'Vise' with prepositions
Sometimes 'vise' is used with prepositions to add more detail. One common one is 'for' (for).
- Structure
- Subject + 'vise' + direct object + 'for' + person
Han vil vise billederne for os.
Translation hint: Han (He) vil (wants to/will) billederne (the pictures) for os (for us).
- This structure is an alternative to using an indirect object directly after 'vise'. Both are correct, but using 'for' can sometimes put more emphasis on 'for whom' the action is done.
Hun viste sit nye tøj frem for alle.
Translation hint: Hun (She) viste (showed - past tense) sit nye tøj (her new clothes) frem (forth/off) for alle (to/for everyone). In this case, 'fremvise' is a separable verb meaning 'to display' or 'to show off'.
