deles
deles in 30 Sekunden
- Deles means 'to be shared' or 'to share mutually'.
- It is usually used with the preposition 'om' for mutual sharing.
- It can also mean 'to be divided' into parts using 'i'.
- It is an -s verb, meaning it acts as both infinitive and present tense.
The Danish verb deles is a fascinating example of the Danish '-s' verb form, which can indicate either a passive action or a reciprocal relationship. At its core, it means 'to be shared' or 'to share something together.' Unlike the active verb dele (to share), deles often implies a collective responsibility or a mutual arrangement where multiple parties are involved in the act of sharing a single resource or task.
- Reciprocal Sharing
- This is when two or more people share something among themselves. It is almost always used with the preposition om. For example, 'Vi deles om kagen' means 'We share the cake between us.'
- Passive Division
- In a more formal or technical sense, it describes how something is divided or categorized. 'Bogen deles i tre afsnit' means 'The book is divided into three sections.'
I mange danske hjem deles man om de huslige pligter.
In everyday conversation, you will most frequently encounter deles in the context of splitting costs, sharing food, or dividing labor. It carries a nuance of cooperation and egalitarianism, which is deeply rooted in Danish social values. When you use deles, you aren't just saying that an object is being distributed; you are highlighting the relationship between the people doing the sharing.
Skal vi deles om en taxa hjem?
- Social Context
- Using 'deles' suggests a joint venture. It is common in student dorms (kollegier) where kitchens or bathrooms are shared.
Arbejdet deles ligeligt mellem alle medarbejdere.
Using deles correctly requires understanding its grammatical patterns. The most important pattern to master is at deles om noget. This construction is ubiquitous in Danish life, reflecting the culture's emphasis on communal effort.
- The 'Om' Pattern
- Structure: [Subject] + deles om + [Object]. Example: 'Børnene deles om legetøjet' (The children share the toys). This implies they are taking turns or using them together.
Vi kan godt deles om regningen, hvis du har lyst.
Another common usage is the passive construction, which often appears in instructions or descriptions of structure. In these cases, it is frequently followed by i (into).
- The 'I' Pattern (Division)
- Structure: [Whole] + deles i + [Parts]. Example: 'Kagen deles i otte stykker' (The cake is divided into eight pieces).
Landet deles af en stor flod, der løber fra nord til syd.
De to naboer deles om en fælles have.
When speaking about time or experiences, deles can also be used to describe shared moments. 'Vi deltes om glæden' suggests that the joy was a collective experience that bound the group together.
In Denmark, you will hear deles in a variety of settings, ranging from the dinner table to professional environments. It is a word that signals collaboration and the breaking down of individual ownership in favor of the group.
- At the Restaurant
- When a group of friends is deciding how to pay, someone might say: 'Skal vi ikke bare deles om regningen?' (Shouldn't we just share/split the bill?). This is the standard way to suggest 'going Dutch.'
Vi kan deles om en stor pizza, hvis I er med på det.
In a workplace or school setting, deles is used to discuss the distribution of resources. If there are limited computers or desks, a manager might say, 'I må deles om pladsen i dag' (You have to share the space today). This implies a need for cooperation and patience.
Hvor mange skal deles om denne computer?
You will also encounter it in legal or administrative contexts, such as 'forældremyndigheden deles' (custody is shared). Here, it carries a more formal weight, indicating a legal division of rights and responsibilities. In news reports, it might be used to describe how a political party's power is divided among different factions.
The most common mistake learners make with deles is forgetting the preposition om. Without 'om,' the sentence often becomes grammatically incomplete or changes meaning entirely.
- Mistake: Omitting 'Om'
- Incorrect: 'Vi deles kagen.'
Correct: 'Vi deles om kagen.'
Explanation: 'Deles' needs 'om' to connect the people to the object they are sharing.
Husk at sige 'vi deles om', ikke bare 'vi deles'.
Another error is confusing deles with the active verb dele. While they both translate to 'share' in English, they are used differently. Dele is for when one person gives something to others or when you post something online. Deles is for mutual sharing.
- Mistake: Confusion with 'Dele'
- Incorrect: 'Jeg vil gerne deles dette billede på Facebook.'
Correct: 'Jeg vil gerne dele dette billede på Facebook.'
Explanation: Sharing a digital file is an active, one-way action, so use 'dele'.
Finally, learners sometimes struggle with the past tense. The past tense of the reciprocal deles is deltes, but it is becoming less common in spoken Danish, where people often revert to 'Vi delte' or 'Vi var fælles om'. However, in writing, deltes is perfectly correct and elegant.
While deles is a very useful word, there are several alternatives depending on the nuance you want to convey. Understanding these differences will make your Danish sound more natural and precise.
- Dele (Active Verb)
- Use this when you are the one doing the sharing. 'Jeg deler min mad med dig' (I share my food with you). It focuses on the giver.
- Være fælles om
- This is a very common idiomatic alternative to 'deles om'. It literally means 'to be common about'. 'Vi er fælles om opgaven' (We are sharing the task/doing it together).
- Splitte
- Often used for splitting a bill or a cost, similar to English. 'Skal vi splitte regningen?' is very common among younger Danes.
Vi kan enten deles om udgifterne eller lade firmaet betale.
If you are talking about dividing something physically, you might use opdele. For example, 'Vi opdeler klassen i to grupper' (We are dividing the class into two groups). This is more intentional and structured than the general deles.
In formal writing, you might see distribuere (distribute) or fordele (allocate/distribute). 'Overskuddet fordeles mellem aktionærerne' (The profit is distributed among the shareholders). While 'deles' could be used here, 'fordele' sounds more professional and precise.
How Formal Is It?
Wusstest du?
The root 'del' is related to the English word 'deal' (as in 'to deal cards'). In both languages, the original sense involves dividing a whole into smaller parts.
Aussprachehilfe
- Pronouncing it like 'del-ese' (adding an extra vowel).
- Forgetting the 's' at the end, making it sound like 'dele'.
- Pronouncing the 'd' too hard (it should be soft, almost like a 'th' in some positions, though here it is initial and clear).
- Confusing the 'e' sound with 'æ'.
- Muffling the 's' so it sounds like 'delene'.
Schwierigkeitsgrad
Easy to recognize but can be confused with 'dele' or 'delene'.
Requires correct use of prepositions like 'om' and 'i'.
The final 's' must be clear to distinguish from 'dele'.
In fast speech, the 's' can blend into following words.

Tipps
The S-Verb Rule
Remember that 'deles' doesn't change from infinitive to present tense. It stays 'deles' in both cases, which makes it easier to use!
Being Polite
In Denmark, suggesting 'Skal vi deles om regningen?' is considered very fair and polite. It shows you don't expect others to pay for you.
Deles vs. Fordeles
Use 'deles' when you are part of the group sharing. Use 'fordeles' when you are talking about how things are given out to others.
The Sharp S
Make sure the 's' is clear. If you say 'dele', it sounds like you are doing it alone. The 's' brings in the others!
Living Situations
If you are looking for a room in a shared apartment, you might see the phrase 'fællesarealer deles' (common areas are shared).
Passive Voice
Use 'deles' to sound more objective in reports. 'Resultaterne deles i to kategorier' sounds more professional than 'Vi deler resultaterne'.
Sol og Vind
The idiom 'at deles om sol og vind' is a beautiful way to say you share everything in life. Use it in a wedding speech!
The Power of 'Om'
Think of 'om' as 'around'. You are sharing 'around' the object. This helps remember the preposition.
Fast Speech
Danes often shorten 'deles om' to sound like 'dels-om'. Listen for that 's' followed by an 'o' sound.
The Cooperative Spirit
Understanding 'deles' helps you understand the 'Andelsbevægelse', a huge part of Danish history where farmers shared dairies and resources.

Wortherkunft
Derived from the Old Norse verb 'deila', which meant to divide, separate, or contend. The '-s' suffix was added later to create the middle-voice/reciprocal form.
Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: To be in a state of division or to divide among oneself.
North Germanic / Indo-European.Kultureller Kontext
Be careful using 'deles' in very hierarchical settings where sharing might be seen as inappropriate, though this is rare in egalitarian Denmark.
English speakers often just say 'share', but Danish distinguishes between the act of sharing (dele) and the state of sharing together (deles).
