Danish grammar

Relative pronouns

Relative pronouns link a noun to a clause that describes it. Danish mainly uses der, som, hvis, and hvor.
der – subject only
Use der when the relative pronoun is the subject of the clause. It cannot be used after a preposition and cannot be an object.
Hun har en ring, der er smuk	She has a ring that is beautiful
Det er en mand, der bor her	That's a man who lives here
Jeg kender folk, der taler japansk	I know people who speak Japanese
Vi så et hus, der lå ved søen	We saw a house that lay by the lake
