You use the verb "tjene" when you talk about making money from working. It's like the English "to earn."
For example, if you have a job, you "tjener penge" (earn money). You can also use it to talk about a company making a profit, like "virksomheden tjener mange penge" (the company earns a lot of money).
When discussing financial compensation in Danish, particularly in the context of employment or service, the verb "tjene" is the most appropriate and common choice. It directly translates to "to earn" in this financial sense. While there are other verbs that might touch upon the idea of gaining something, such as "at opnå" (to achieve/obtain) or "at vinde" (to win), these do not specifically convey the act of earning money through work or effort.
For instance, one would say "Jeg tjener penge som ingeniør" (I earn money as an engineer) rather than "Jeg opnår penge som ingeniør." Using "tjene" emphasizes the direct link between labor or service rendered and the monetary remuneration received. This distinction is crucial for accurate and natural-sounding Danish when discussing income.
§ Don't confuse 'tjene' with 'give' or 'få'.
Many English speakers learning Danish tend to get 'tjene' mixed up with verbs like 'give' (to give) or 'få' (to get/receive). While you 'get' money in English, in Danish, when referring to earning income, 'tjene' is the correct verb. You don't 'få penge' in the sense of earning a salary; you 'tjener penge'.
Jeg tjener 200 kroner i timen. (I earn 200 kroner an hour.)
Jeg fik en gave. (I got a gift.)
§ Using 'tjene' with objects other than money.
While 'tjene' primarily means to earn money, it can also be used in a more abstract sense, meaning to 'deserve' or 'gain' something like respect or experience. However, new learners sometimes incorrectly apply it to tangible non-monetary objects where a different verb would be more appropriate.
For example, you wouldn't say 'jeg tjener en bog' (I earn a book) unless that book was payment for work. You would 'får en bog' (get a book) or 'køber en bog' (buy a book).
- Correct usage for non-monetary things:
- At tjene respekt (to earn respect)
- At tjene erfaring (to gain/earn experience)
- At tjene en belønning (to earn a reward)
These are abstract concepts or outcomes of effort, similar to earning money. If it's a physical item you acquire without payment, 'få' is often the better choice.
Han har tjent meget erfaring i sit job. (He has gained a lot of experience in his job.)
§ Conjugation errors.
Like all Danish verbs, 'tjene' conjugates. A common mistake is to forget its past tense and past participle forms, especially for A2 learners who are still getting a grasp on irregular or semi-irregular verbs. 'Tjene' is a regular verb, making its conjugation somewhat easier, but practice is still key.
- Conjugation of 'tjene':
- Present: tjener (e.g., Jeg tjener mange penge - I earn a lot of money)
- Past: tjente (e.g., Han tjente godt sidste år - He earned well last year)
- Past Participle: tjent (e.g., Hun har tjent sin løn - She has earned her salary)
Vi har tjent nok til ferien. (We have earned enough for the holiday.)
Ensure you are using the correct form based on the tense of your sentence. Using 'tjene' in a past tense context without conjugating it is a dead giveaway of a beginner. Pay attention to the '-te' ending for the past tense and the '-t' ending for the past participle (when used with 'har' or 'er').

سوالات متداول
10 سوالBoth 'tjene' and 'arbejde' relate to work, but they focus on different aspects. 'Tjene' specifically means 'to earn money' or 'to serve' in a financial sense. For example, 'Jeg tjener mange penge' (I earn a lot of money). 'Arbejde' is the more general verb for 'to work' or 'to be employed'. For instance, 'Jeg arbejder på et kontor' (I work in an office). So, you 'arbejde' to 'tjene'.
Yes, 'tjene' can indeed mean 'to serve'. This usage is often seen in contexts like serving a customer or serving a purpose. For example, 'Hun tjener kunderne' (She serves the customers) or 'Dette redskab tjener et praktisk formål' (This tool serves a practical purpose). So it has a dual meaning, both financial and service-oriented.
The conjugation of 'tjene' in the present tense is straightforward:
- Jeg tjener (I earn)
- Du tjener (You earn)
- Han/hun/den/det tjener (He/she/it earns)
- Vi tjener (We earn)
- I tjener (You all earn)
- De tjener (They earn)
The past tense of 'tjene' is 'tjente'. For example: 'Jeg tjente mange penge sidste år' (I earned a lot of money last year). The past participle is 'tjent', used with 'har' or 'er' for perfect tenses, e.g., 'Jeg har tjent mine penge' (I have earned my money).
Yes, there are a few common phrases. A very useful one is 'at tjene til livets ophold', which means 'to earn a living'. For example: 'Det er svært at tjene til livets ophold' (It's hard to earn a living). Another common one is 'at tjene penge', simply 'to earn money'.
No, 'tjene' does not always imply physical work. You can 'tjene penge' from intellectual work, investments, or even from a business without directly performing physical labor. It simply refers to the act of acquiring money, regardless of the method.
Absolutely! 'Tjene' is perfect for talking about making a profit. For instance, 'Virksomheden tjener mange penge' (The company makes a lot of money/profit). You could also say 'at tjene på noget' (to profit from something).
You would say: 'Han tjener en god løn.' (He earns a good salary.) You could also say 'Han tjener godt,' which means 'He earns well.'
While there isn't a single direct opposite in a perfect antonym sense, verbs like 'bruge' (to spend) or 'tabe' (to lose, as in money) could be considered conceptual opposites in certain contexts. For example, 'Jeg tjener penge' (I earn money) vs. 'Jeg bruger penge' (I spend money) or 'Jeg taber penge' (I lose money).
Generally, 'tjene' is most commonly associated with earning money. While you might occasionally hear it in a broader sense, for earning points or rewards, Danes would more typically use 'optjene'. For example, 'Du kan optjene bonuspoint' (You can earn bonus points). So, stick to 'optjene' for points/rewards and 'tjene' for money.
