Lesson 10 - Likes and Dislikes
Likes and Dislikes -'lide'
Danish for to like is at kunne lide. Warning: As you can see lide goes together with kunne. If you omit kunne in the lovely sentence jeg kan lide meget (I like a lot (of things)), it becomes Jeg lider meget (I suffer a lot) as lide on its own means to suffer(!). The Danes tend to pronounce it as kunne li' - keep it short, you don't sound out the 'de' - opposed to suffer where you sound out the whole of the word 'lide'.
Notice that godt [lit: well] is added when say you like something. Godt can be left out but Danes usually keep it in as to emphasize that yes they do like this or that. |
