Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Danish personal pronouns replace nouns to identify who is performing the action, and they are essential for every sentence you build.

  • Use 'jeg' for 'I' (always lowercase unless starting a sentence). Example: Jeg spiser.
  • Use 'du' for 'you' (singular, informal). Example: Du læser.
  • Use 'han' (he), 'hun' (she), or 'den/det' (it) for third-person singular. Example: Han løber.
