The Danish alphabet consists of 29 letters. Twenty six of these are the letters a through z. Three additional letters come at the end of the Danish alphabet: æ, ø, and å.
Because English and Danish are related languages, many common words are very similar in the two languages. For example, the following Danish words closely are easily recognizable in their written form to English speakers: have, over, under, for, kat. These words may be pronounced quite, differently from the English pronunciation, however.
The infinitive forms of Danish verbs end in a vowel, which in almost all cases is the letter e. Verbs are conjugated according to tense, but otherwise do not vary. For example the present tense form of the Danish infintive verb spise ("to eat") is spiser; this form is the same regardless of whether the subject is in the first, second, or third person, or whether it is singular or plural.
Danish nouns come in two genders: common, and neuter. There is no way to know which gender a word falls under, except by memorization.
The numbers from one to ten in Danish are: en, to, tre, fire, fem, seks, syv, otte, ni, ti.
