Udtal og grammatikspørgsmål

[Aurinĭa]

Hvordan udtales k i ord som kende, køn, kyst, skjule, skib, skære? Og g i ord som gengive, genert, gjalde?
Når brukes der og når som som subjekt i en relativsætning?

Tak!

[Aleco]

K udtales som vanligt K i alle de ord du skrev.
Og bare G i 'genert' udtales på en anden måde: "sh". (Er ikke sikker på "gjalde")

der = who (I am the one who loves you = Det er mig der elsker dig)
Men med ting som stener og dyr anvændes også 'der'... Nej, jeg er ikke sikker på hvordan det skildes mellem 'der' og 'som'.

Aleco is right about the pronunciation of g and k.

I've lived in Denmark all my life and you never use gjalde (it's an archaic word, 'spille' is used instead). Anyway, it's pronounced as it is spelled.

Der and som mean the same thing, and in simple sentences you can use either one. In more complex sentences there are some simple rules for placing them: Som can refer to both the subject and the object of the sentence, der can only refer to the subject. The basic idea is, however, just to shift between them whenever you can so you can vary your language(otherwise it will sound monotone and a bit childlike).

I couldn't remember the word with gj I wondered about, so I just took the first word with gj I found in the dictionary.

Thank you for the explanation.

Just remember, that K is a voiceless aspirated consonant, just like in most other Germanic languages (actually, all of them I think), and it's written like this in X-SAMPA: [k_h] or [g_0_h].

G is generally voiceless unaspirated [g_0] or [k], but gj might be [g_0j] like in gjorde ~ [g_0jo:@]. I'm assuming gjalde [g_0jal:@] falls into the same group.

Not in Dutch. Voiceless stops (ptk) are not aspiritated in Dutch. When speaking English, I do it automatically, but when I'm speaking Danish I constantly have to remind myself to aspirate them. But my exam went very well, my teacher even said my pronunciation was very good

Yes, I've noticed that recently. It's really interesting actually. And I wonder, how come Dutch hasn't aspirated (?) its consonants. But then again, this question belongs under the Dutch forum, so reply there, if you want to.
