Danish/Lesson 2

This is an unfinished translation of Swedish/Lesson_4. ^ Lektion 1: Velkommen ^ Lektion 3: Tal og Farver ^ Immediate family Forældre ~ Parents Just like in English, the Danish language has several words for mother and father. Starting with the words for mother, we see: Mor And sometimes: Moder The most common word for father is: Far But occasionally Fader is used. Søskende ~ Siblings The words for søskende (siblings) are for brother: Bror Broder and for sister: Søster Børn ~ Children In Danish, the words for son and daughter are close to English. They are søn and datter, respectively. The rest of the family Onkel = Uncle, used mostly for a man married to a moster or faster Morbror = Mother's brother Farbror = Father's brother Tante = Aunt, used mostly about a woman married to a farbror or morbror Moster = Mother's sister Faster = Father's sister Niece = Niece Nevø = Nephew Fætter = Male cousin Kusine = Female cousin Bedsteforældre ~ Grandparents Grandparents are also quite simple. Keep in mind mor is mother and far is father. Maternal Grandparents: Mormor = Maternal grandmother Morfar = Maternal grandfather Paternal Grandparents: Farmor = Paternal grandmother Farfar = Paternal grandfather The Danish word for grandchild is barnebarn. Oldeforældre ~ Great-grandparents Oldefar/Oldefader = Great-grandfather Oldemor/Oldemoder = Great-grandmother The Danish word for great-grandchild is oldebarn Tipoldeforældre ~ Great-great-grandparents Tipoldefar/Tipoldefader = Great-great-grandfather Tipoldemor/Tipoldemoder = Great-great-grandmother The Danish word for great-great-grandchild is tipoldebarn.
