Danish grammar

Idiomatic prepositional phrases

Some Danish preposition + noun combinations behave like set phrases with non-literal meanings. Learn them as fixed expressions – a different preposition often sounds wrong. Examples: i tvivl (uncertain), på arbejde (at work), på vej (on the way), til tiden (on time), i orden (all right).
With i – states and conditions
Jeg er i tvivl	I am uncertain
Alt er i orden	Everything is all right
Han er i live	He is alive
Maskinen er i stykker	The machine is broken
Vi er i gang	We are in progress / working on it
