Feel free to edit this page by adding new words and expressions !

In Danish, the conjugation of verbs is the same across all pronouns.

The infinitive verbs always end in -e, and are always preceded by the phrase "at". For example: "at gå", meaning "to go" or "to walk".

To form the present tense, you have to add -r to the verb, and replace the "at" with the correct pronoun depending on your subject.

The Pronouns are :

ENGLISH	DANISH	PORTUGUESE
I	JEG	EU
YOU	DU	VOCÊ
HE	HAN	ELE
SHE	HUN	ELA
WE	VI	NÓS
YOU (PLURAL)	I	VOCÊS
THEY	DE	ELES

Using the example of "at gå" (to go):

ENGLISH	DANISH	PORTUGUESE
I GO	JEG GÅR	EU VOU
YOU GO	DU GÅR	VOCÊ VAI
HE GOES	HAN GÅR	ELE VAI
SHE GOES	HUN GÅR	ELA VAI
WE GO	VI GÅR	NÓS VAMOS
YOU (PLURAL) GO	I GÅR	VOCÊS VÃO
THEY GO	DE GÅR	ELES VÃO
