Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will delve into the world of numbers in Danish. Mastering numbers is crucial for everyday communication, whether you're shopping, telling time, or discussing dates. In this comprehensive lesson, we will focus specifically on numbers from 1 to 100, including cardinal and ordinal numbers. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid foundation in Danish numbers and be able to confidently use them in different contexts.

Cardinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Numbers 1-20[edit | edit source]

Let's start with the basics. Here are the numbers from 1 to 20 in Danish:

Danish	Pronunciation	English
en	[ɛn]	one
to	[to]	two
tre	[tʁɛ]	three
fire	[fiːɐ̯ə]	four
fem	[fɛm]	five
seks	[sɛks]	six
syv	[sy]	seven
otte	[ɔdə]	eight
ni	[ni]	nine
ti	[ti]	ten
elleve	[ɛləvə]	eleven
tolv	[toːlə]	twelve
tretten	[tʁɛdən]	thirteen
fjorten	[fyːɐ̯dən]	fourteen
femten	[fɛmdən]	fifteen
seksten	[sɛkstdən]	sixteen
sytten	[sydən]	seventeen
atten	[atən]	eighteen
nitten	[nitən]	nineteen
tyve	[tyːvə]	twenty

Take your time to practice pronouncing these numbers. Notice that some numbers have unique pronunciations, such as "en" for one and "ti" for ten. Also, pay attention to the pronunciation of vowel sounds, as Danish has some unique vowel sounds that may differ from English.

Numbers 30-100[edit | edit source]

Now, let's move on to the numbers from 30 to 100. Danish follows a pattern where the numbers from 30 to 99 are formed by combining the words for the tens and the ones. Here are the numbers from 30 to 100:

Danish	Pronunciation	English
tredive	[tʁeːdəvə]	thirty
fyrre	[fyːɐ̯ə]	forty
halvtreds	[halftʁeːs]	fifty
tres	[tʁes]	sixty
halvfjerds	[halvfjɛɐ̯s]	seventy
firs	[fiːɐ̯s]	eighty
halvfems	[halvfɛms]	ninety
hundrede	[hundrəðə]	one hundred

To form numbers from 30 to 99, you need to combine the word for the tens with the word for the ones. For example, to say 36 in Danish, you would say "seksogtredive," which literally translates to "six and thirty." Similarly, 58 would be "otteoghalvtreds," which means "eight and fifty."

Remember, Danish numbers are formed by combining the tens and ones, so keep practicing to become comfortable with this pattern.

Ordinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the order or position of something. In Danish, ordinal numbers are formed by adding the suffix "-te" to the cardinal number. Let's look at some examples:

Danish	Pronunciation	English
første	[føɐ̯stə]	first
anden	[anən]	second
tredje	[tʁɛðə]	third
fjerde	[fiːɐ̯də]	fourth
femte	[fɛmdə]	fifth
sjette	[sjɛdə]	sixth
syvende	[syːənə]	seventh
ottende	[ɔtəðə]	eighth
niende	[niːənə]	ninth
tiende	[tiːənə]	tenth

When using ordinal numbers in Danish, it's important to note that they agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. For example, "første" (first) changes to "først" when modifying a neuter noun, like "et hus" (a house).

Practice using ordinal numbers in different contexts to familiarize yourself with their usage and agreement with nouns.

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Numbers play a significant role in Danish culture, just like in many other cultures. Here are some interesting cultural facts related to numbers in Denmark:

1. Number Superstitions: Danes, like many other people, have certain superstitions regarding numbers. For example, the number 13 is considered unlucky in Danish culture, just like in many other Western cultures. Many buildings in Denmark skip the 13th floor or label it as the 14th floor to avoid the perceived bad luck.

2. Birthday Celebrations: In Denmark, it is customary to celebrate a person's "round" birthday, which occurs when they turn 30, 40, 50, and so on. These birthdays are often celebrated with family and friends, and the person of honor is expected to provide a meal or refreshments for the guests.

3. Time and Punctuality: Danes are known for their punctuality and value being on time. If you have an appointment or a meeting in Denmark, it's important to arrive on time or even a few minutes early. Being late is considered disrespectful and may leave a negative impression.

4. Counting System: Danish follows a decimal system, similar to English, where the numbers are based on powers of 10. This makes it relatively easy to learn and understand Danish numbers, especially for English speakers.

5. Shopping and Bargaining: When shopping in Denmark, it's important to be aware of the prices and numbers. Danish shopkeepers are generally honest, and bargaining is not a common practice. However, it's always a good idea to double-check prices and ask for clarification if needed.

These cultural insights provide a glimpse into the Danish perspective on numbers and their significance in everyday life. Understanding the cultural context can enhance your language learning experience and help you connect with the Danish culture on a deeper level.

Exercises[edit | edit source]

Now, let's practice what we've learned so far. Here are some exercises to help you reinforce your knowledge of Danish numbers:

Exercise 1: Write the following numbers in Danish:

1. 15 2. 42 3. 79 4. 93 5. 100

Exercise 3: Practice counting from 1 to 30 in Danish.

Now, let's check your answers:

-It may seem like a challenge, but reading the numbers out loud multiple times and repeating them can help you remember them better.
+Take your time to practice pronouncing these numbers. Notice that some numbers have unique pronunciations, such as "en" for one and "ti" for ten. Also, pay attention to the pronunciation of vowel sounds, as Danish has some unique vowel sounds that may differ from English.
-=== 21 to 100 ===
-Once you have learned the numbers from 1 to 20, counting from 21 to 100 becomes easier. You only need to know a few words, which are the multiples of ten:
-* tyve (20)
-* tredive (30)
-* fyrre (40)
-* halvtreds (50)
-* tres (60)
-* halvfjerds (70)
-* firs (80)
-* halvfems (90)
-* hundrede (100)
-To count these numbers, first, say the multiple of ten, then the remaining number. For example, 35 is "femogtredive," which translates directly to "five and thirty."
+=== Numbers 30-100 ===
-Here are some examples:
+Now, let's move on to the numbers from 30 to 100. Danish follows a pattern where the numbers from 30 to 99 are formed by combining the words for the tens and the ones. Here are the numbers from 30 to 100:

-Ordinal numbers are numbers that express position or order, like "first," "second," "third," etc. In Danish, most ordinal numbers are formed by taking the cardinal number and appending "-te", such as første (first) and anden (second). When the cardinal ends in a vowel, the ordinal may add an extra -'e', such as tiende (tenth).
