Contacts & SNS

1. Hvad er dit telefonnummer?

   What is your phone number?

   Usage

   Exchange contact info; in Denmark phone numbers often link to MobilePay

   Grammar Note

   "Hvad" is pronounced "va" — Danish "hv" cluster is pronounced as just "v"

2. Har du Instagram?

   Do you have Instagram?

   Usage

   Exchange social media accounts; Instagram is widely used among young Danes

   Grammar Note

   Yes/no question inverts subject and verb: "Har du" = "do you have"

3. Lad os udveksle kontaktoplysninger

   Let's exchange contact information

   Usage

   Suggest exchanging contacts with a new acquaintance

   Grammar Note

   "Lad os" means "let's" (let us). The infinitive follows directly

4. Hvad er din e-mailadresse?

   What is your email address?

   Usage

   Ask for an email address in professional or formal situations

   Grammar Note

   "E-mailadresse" is borrowed from English. Danish readily adopts English tech vocabulary

5. Kan jeg tilføje dig på Facebook?

   Can I add you on Facebook?

   Usage

6. Send mig en besked

   Send me a message

   Usage
