Make sure to read the pronunciation and hear the audio as well. If you have any question about this course, Contact us from the page Danish Classes.

Imperative

Knowing the imperative form in Danish is a powerful skill. It can make it easy to ask someone to do something, and clarify what you want done.

Below is a list of 20 imperative forms and expressions that you might come across or use very often. The table contains 3 columns (English, Danish, and Audio). Make sure you repeat each word after hearing it by either clicking on the audio button or by reading the pronunciation. That should help with memorization as well as improving your pronunciation.
