Question 16

TRUE OR FALSE
In Danish, the most common way to express that someone is wearing something is to say that they ‘have it on’ them. In Danish, ‘to wear’ becomes ‘at have på.’

Answer 16

TRUE, and it conjugates to ‘har på’ in the present tense.

Examples:
‘I wear shoes’ becomes ‘jeg har sko på’ where ‘sko’ is the object being worn.

Question 17

TRUE OR FALSE
In Danish, it is permissible to omit the article before the thing you’re wearing. For instance:
'Jeg har kjole på'
instead of
'Jeg har en kjole på'

Answer 17

TRUE:
‘Jeg har en kjole på’ → literally ‘I have a dress on’ meaning ‘I am wearing a dress’
‘Jeg har kjole på’ → literally ‘I have dress on’ meaning ‘I am wearing a dress’

Most often the second one (without article) is used, while the first one is chosen if one wishes to add emphasis to the item being worn.
