Hello everyone!
I'm looking for a reliable Danish word frequency list. The only one that Google seems to bring up is http://www.101languages.net/danish/most-common-danish-words/
Has anyone seen any others that are more reliable, or actually written by an accredited source?
Thanks!
Part 2
Errors and oddities I noticed:
Examples:
at lykkes:
“De lykkedes mig træffe ham hjemme.” A “t” is missing. It should have been
“Det lykkedes mig træffe ham hjemme.”
at passe:
“De
passer deres børn meget godt.” “They are looking after/babysitting
their children very well” . To me that’s an unclear sentence to use in a
teaching situation since
“passe børn” generally means that someone looks after/babysits someone else’s children.
at styre:
“Hun
styrede bilen lige ind i et træ. ” “She steered the car right into a
tree” is odd to use in a teaching situation. Provided the act of
steering is something deliberate, it’s a rather unusual thing to want to
do.
at trække:
“Mødet trak ud til” (A time expression is missing). The sentence could be changed to for instance:
“Mødet trak ud til sent på aftenen”
A
few of the perfect tenses have been marked with a “-” as though they
don’t exist, which is not correct. Some of them are however extremely
rarely used. If you want to find those missing perfect tenses they can
be looked up here: http://ordnet.dk/ddo
at nævne:
the past tense can be both “nævnte” and “nævnede”
Hi Douglas.
I have had to split this comment into to parts, since there is a limit to how long a comment can be on Italki.
Part 1
This list
(http://www.emu.dk/sites/default/files/120%20ord%20skema_1.pdf) of the
120 most frequent words (made for children) is from the Ministry of
Children, Education and Equality. It’s the only “accredited source” I
could find.
Here is a link to 250 commonly used Danish verbs with their conjugations:
http://fjern-uv.dk/250.pdf
I
wouldn’t call the source accredited, but I have checked the pdf-file
for errors. My wife is also learning Danish, so this is useful for her
as well. The person who made the list claims it’s the 250 most used
Danish verbs. Whether that is true I don’t know, but they are no doubt
common and useful.
For each verb there is also an example in which
the verb is used. As you can probably imagine, many of the verbs have
more than one meaning.
The verbs are listed twice. From page 12-22 the verbs are listed alphabetically. I have only checked that the examples and conjugations are correct from page 12-22.
