In Danish grammar, demonstrative adjectives are used to indicate which object or person is being referred to, in relation to the speaker. They often correspond to the English words “this,” “that,” “these,” and “those.” Danish demonstrative adjectives are essential for expressing specificity and clarity. They agree in gender and number with the noun they modify, and can be placed before the noun or after a possessive pronoun.
