To produce this list of the 1000 most common Danish words, we processed a large number of Danish texts. Vocabulary words were converted to their dictionary form (inflections were removed) through a process called lemmatization.
This Danish vocabulary list can be filtered by word type (noun, verb, adjective, etc..) by clicking on the buttons below.
-
og
[conjunction]
(and)
Linguists have observed that frequently used words tend to be shorter. This phenomenon, known as the “brevity law” or “Zipf's law of abbreviation”, is apparent in this Danish vocabulary list.
-
være
[verb]
(to be)
-
i
[preposition]
(in)
This is the highest-ranked preposition in this frequency list of Danish vocabulary words. For more on these small words which serve an important grammatical function, see this guide to Danish prepositions.

This is a very common Danish word because it has two uses: it is the definite article for nouns with the neuter grammatical gender and it is also used as a pronoun.

have
[verb]
(have)
-
for
[preposition]
(for)
-
der

-
kunne
[verb]
(can)
The Danish verb “kunne” means “to be able to” or “can” in English. It is an auxiliary verb that is used to express ability, possibility, or permission. For example, “Jeg kan spille golf” means “I can play golf” and “Han kunne ikke komme til festen” means “He couldn’t come to the party.” In addition to its use as an auxiliary verb, it can also be used as a transitive verb, in which case it means “to know”, as in the phrase “Han kan fransk” which means “He knows French”.

barn
[noun]
(child)
In linguistics and among language learners, a word like this is called a “false friend” because it resembles a word from another language (in this case the word “barn” in English), but it has a completely different meaning.
-

(therefore)

-

-
klokke
[noun]
(bell)
The reason why the word “klokke” is frequently used in Danish is that in addition to meaning “bell”, it is also used when telling the time. For example, the phrase “Klokken er fem” means “It's five o'clock”.
-

skrive
[verb]
(to write)
Danish is not a Latin-based language, but it has adopted some Latin words over time. One such example is the Danish verb "skrive," meaning "to write." It is derived from the Latin verb "scribo," which shares the same meaning and is the root of several words in modern Romance languages like "escribir" in Spanish and "écrire" in French.
-
dog
[adverb]
(however)
The Danish word “dog” is an example of what is called a “false friend” in the context of language learning: it resembles an English word, but it has an entirely different meaning. In Danish, the word “dog” has no relation to the canine animal. It is an adverb that translates to “however”.
-
sammen
[adverb]
(together)
-
side
[noun]
(page)
-
mulighed
[noun]
(possibility)
The Danish noun “mulighed” translates to “possibility” in English. Note that the suffix “-hed” is used in Danish to create nouns from adjectives. In the case of “mulighed,” this suffix is added to the adjective “mulig,” which means “possible.” You will find several examples of this phenomenon in this Danish vocabulary list, where adjectives are turned into nouns by adding the “-hed” suffix.

ligge
[verb]
(to lie)
The Danish verb “ligge” means “to lie” as in “to be located in a horizontal position.” This verb is used to describe the position of an object or a person. For example, “Bogen ligger på bordet” means “The book is lying on the table.” This verb can also be used to describe the location of a place. For example, “København ligger i Danmark” means “Copenhagen is located in Denmark.”
-
hvilken
[pronoun]
(which)
-
krone
[noun]
(crown)
“Krone” is a common word in Danish because it refers to the Danish currency. The Danish krone has been the official currency of Denmark since 1875 and is also used in the Faroe Islands and Greenland. The word “krone” literally means “crown” in Danish.
-
egen
[adjective]
(own)

ønske
[verb]

-
I
[pronoun]
(you - plural)
In Danish, the word “I” is a second-person plural pronoun used to address multiple people. It is translated to English as “you.” This may confuse English speakers learning Danish because “I” in English is the first-person singular pronoun. (see this guide to Danish pronouns)

ekstra
[adjective]
(extra)
The Danish word “ekstra” and the English word “extra” are cognates, meaning they share the same etymological origin. Both words can be traced back to the Latin term “extrā.” Interestingly, while the Danish alphabet includes the letter “x,” it is not often used in spelling Danish vocabulary words. Instead, many words that would traditionally be spelled with “x” in other languages are spelled with “ks” in Danish.

eksempel
[noun]
(example)
The Danish word “eksempel” translates to “example” in English, and it comes from the Latin word “exemplum.” However, the Danish language typically avoids using the letter “x,” so the word is spelled differently. Many Latin words that contain “x” are spelled with “ks” in Danish.

billig
[adjective]
(cheap)
The Danish adjective “billig” translates to “cheap” in English. Interestingly, this word has its origin in the German language. The term “billig” in German also means “cheap”, and it is likely that the word was introduced into Danish through trade and commerce relations between the two countries.
