Grammar Point: Compound Nouns
In Danish, we often use compound nouns to create new words. In this lesson, we introduced a number of compound nouns related to science and technology. For example:
- Teknologi - Technology - made up of Tekno + logi
- Robotteknologi - Robotics - made up of Robot + teknologi
- Datalogi - Computer Science - made up of Data + logi
- Kunstig intelligens - Artificial Intelligence - made up of Kunstig + intelligens
Notice how the two words are put together to create a new word. This is important to remember when encountering new vocabulary in Danish.
Expressions
Here are some expressions that you might find useful when discussing Science and Technology:
- Jeg studerer bioteknologi. - I study biotechnology.
