Genitive Exercises For Danish Grammar

The genitive in Danish grammar is used to show the possession or relationship between two nouns. It is formed by adding -s to the end of the possessor noun, similar to the English “apostrophe s” (-‘s). The Danish genitive is relatively simple, as it doesn’t change according to the gender or number of the possessor noun. In modern Danish, the genitive is becoming less common, being replaced by the use of prepositions such as “af” (of). However, it is still important to learn and recognize the Danish genitive, as it is found in many fixed expressions, place names, and literary texts.
