Explicação komme in your Level:
At A1 level, 'komme' is primarily used to express simple movement towards a location or person. Learners will encounter and use it in basic sentences like 'Jeg kommer' (I am coming) or 'Kommer du?' (Are you coming?). It's fundamental for understanding and participating in simple invitations and discussions about immediate plans. Examples include asking 'Hvornår kommer du?' (When are you coming?) and stating 'Han kommer i dag' (He is coming today). The focus is on the core meaning of arrival and basic personal movement.
At A2, learners expand their usage of 'komme' to include past tenses and more varied contexts. They can say 'Jeg kom i går' (I came yesterday) or 'De er kommet' (They have arrived). The verb is used in slightly more complex sentences, such as discussing past events or future arrangements with more detail. For instance, 'Vi kommer til festen, hvis vi kan' (We will come to the party if we can). The concept of something 'coming' in a more general sense, like 'Vinteren kommer' (Winter is coming), is also introduced.

komme em 30 segundos

  • To come, to arrive.
  • Basic verb of movement.
  • Used for people, events, things.
  • Essential for daily communication.
The Danish verb "komme" is a fundamental word that translates directly to "to come" in English. It signifies movement towards a place or person, or the arrival of something or someone. This verb is incredibly common in everyday Danish conversation and is one of the first verbs learners encounter. You'll hear "komme" used in a vast array of situations, from simple greetings and invitations to more complex descriptions of events and processes. It's essential for expressing basic interactions and understanding the flow of movement and arrival in Danish.
Basic Usage
"Komme" describes the action of arriving at a destination. For example, "Han kommer i morgen" means "He is coming tomorrow." It can also refer to the arrival of an event or a state, such as "Vinteren kommer" (Winter is coming).
Movement Towards
It's used when someone or something is moving in the direction of the speaker or a specified location. "Vil du komme til festen?" translates to "Will you come to the party?"
Appearance/Emergence
"Komme" can also mean to appear or emerge. For instance, "Solen kommer frem" means "The sun is coming out." In a more abstract sense, it can indicate the onset of something, like "Han kommer til kræfter" (He is regaining his strength).

Jeg skal komme hjem nu.

Kommer du snart?

Figurative Use
Beyond physical movement, "komme" can be used figuratively. For instance, "Det kommer an på" means "It depends." This shows the versatility of the verb.
Inquiries about Arrival
It's very common to ask about someone's arrival: "Hvornår kommer du?" (When are you coming?).
The verb "komme" is conjugated based on tense and subject, but its core meaning of arrival or movement towards remains consistent. In the present tense, it often takes the form "kommer." For instance, "Jeg kommer" (I come/am coming), "Du kommer" (You come/are coming), "Han/Hun/Den/Det kommer" (He/She/It comes/is coming), "Vi kommer" (We come/are coming), "I kommer" (You all come/are coming), "De kommer" (They come/are coming). The past tense is "kom," as in "Jeg kom i går" (I came yesterday). The perfect tense uses "er" with the past participle "kommet": "Jeg er kommet" (I have come).
Present Tense Examples
"Bussen kommer nu." (The bus is coming now.) "Mine venner kommer på besøg." (My friends are coming to visit.) "Solen kommer frem efter regnen." (The sun is coming out after the rain.)
Past Tense Examples
"Han kom for sent til mødet." (He came late to the meeting.) "Vi kom hjem sent i aftes." (We came home late last night.) "De kom med en god idé." (They came up with a good idea.)
Perfect Tense Examples
"Jeg er kommet for at hjælpe." (I have come to help.) "Har du kommet med posten?" (Has the mail come?) "De er kommet godt i gang med projektet." (They have gotten off to a good start with the project.)

De kommer snart.

You'll encounter "komme" in virtually every aspect of Danish life. It's the go-to verb for discussing travel plans, invitations, and the arrival of goods or people. In spoken Danish, it's used constantly. Imagine a typical conversation: someone might ask, "Kommer du til festen i aften?" (Are you coming to the party tonight?). The response could be, "Ja, jeg kommer." (Yes, I am coming.) or "Nej, jeg kan desværre ikke komme." (No, unfortunately I can't come.).
Everyday Greetings and Plans
When arranging to meet someone, "komme" is essential. "Hvornår kommer du?" (When are you coming?) is a very common question. If you're invited somewhere, you'll often hear, "Vi håber, du vil komme." (We hope you will come.).
News and Announcements
News reports often use "komme" to describe events unfolding. "Nyhederne kommer klokken 18." (The news comes on at 6 PM.) or "Der kommer en ny film næste uge." (A new movie is coming next week.).
Family and Friends
Discussions about family often involve "komme." "Mine forældre kommer på besøg i weekenden." (My parents are coming to visit this weekend.)
Business and Work
In a professional setting, you might hear, "Kunden kommer på mandag." (The client is coming on Monday.) or "Vi skal se, hvornår aftalen kommer i stand." (We need to see when the agreement comes about.).

Toget kommer om fem minutter.

A common pitfall for English speakers learning Danish is the confusion between "komme" and verbs like "gå" (to go) or "tage" (to take). While "komme" implies movement towards the speaker or a specific destination, "gå" generally means to move away or to walk. For example, saying "Jeg går til festen" might imply you are walking there, but "Jeg kommer til festen" means you will arrive at the party.
Using "gå" instead of "komme"
Mistake: "Jeg går til dig." (Incorrect when meaning "I am coming to your place.") Correct: "Jeg kommer til dig." (I am coming to your place.) The former implies walking away from the speaker's current location towards the listener's, which is less direct than "komme."
Incorrect Past Participle
Mistake: "Jeg har kom" (Incorrect perfect tense.) Correct: "Jeg er kommet." (I have come.) The perfect tense of "komme" always uses "er" as the auxiliary verb and "kommet" as the past participle.
Confusion with "arrive"
While "komme" often means "to arrive," it's not a direct one-to-one translation in all contexts. "Ankomme" is a more formal verb specifically for arriving, often used for transportation. However, in everyday speech, "komme" is far more common for arrival.

Fejl: Jeg går hjem nu. (Hvis du mener, du er på vej hjem).

Korrekt: Jeg kommer hjem nu. (Hvis du er på vej til et sted, og "hjem" er destinationen).

While "komme" is the most general verb for "to come," Danish has other verbs that can be used in similar contexts, often with nuances in formality or specificity.
Ankomme (to arrive - more formal)
"Ankomme" is a more formal verb specifically for arriving, especially in contexts like transportation or official events. "Toget ankommer kl. 15:00." (The train arrives at 15:00.) vs. "Toget kommer kl. 15:00." (The train is coming at 15:00 - more common in spoken Danish).
Nå (to reach, to arrive in time)
"Nå" implies reaching a destination or achieving something within a certain time frame. "Jeg nåede bussen." (I caught the bus.) or "Vi nåede frem før mørket faldt på." (We arrived before it got dark.) This is different from simply "coming."
Ske (to happen, to occur)
Sometimes, what "comes" is an event. In such cases, "ske" might be used. "Hvad sker der?" (What is happening?) rather than "Hvad kommer der?" (What is coming? - less natural for an event).
Indtræffe (to occur, to happen - formal)
Similar to "ske" but more formal, often used for significant events. "En ny æra indtræffer." (A new era occurs.)
Dukke op (to show up, to appear)
This phrasal verb means to appear unexpectedly or to show up. "Han dukkede op uden varsel." (He showed up without notice.) This is a more informal alternative to "komme" when someone appears.

Formelt: Toget ankommer kl. 10.

Uformelt: Toget kommer kl. 10.

Contexto cultural

No specific sensitivity issues are associated with the word 'komme' itself, but context is always important. For example, 'komme for sent' (to come late) can be seen as impolite in certain formal or business settings.

The direct cognate relationship with the English 'come' makes this verb relatively easy for English speakers to grasp initially. However, nuances in idiomatic use and the auxiliary verb in the perfect tense ('er kommet') require attention.

Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales often involve characters coming and going, facing challenges, and arriving at destinations. Danish proverbs frequently use 'komme' to express wisdom about life, such as 'Hvad der kommer let, går let' (What comes easily, goes easily). Modern Danish media, like TV series and films, extensively use 'komme' in everyday dialogue, reflecting its ubiquitous nature.
