Danish grammar
Much, many
Danish splits English "much/many" based on whether you can count the thing or not. Use meget for stuff you can't count (water, time, work), and mange for things you can count (books, people, hours). Meget also means "very" before adjectives. | |
Can't count it? Use meget | |
For quantities of uncountable things (like English "much" or "a lot of"): | |
Der er for meget sukker i | There is too much sugar in it |
Jeg har meget arbejde i dag | I have a lot of work today |
Hun har ikke meget tid | She doesn't have much time |
Vi drak meget vand | We drank a lot of water |
