Adjectives in Danish
Hej alle.

I want to have a good collection of adjectives to use in Danish. Good, bad, happy, sad are all great and I can look them up.

How about suggesting some other ones that Danes use frequently? Any help gratefully received.

Hej Charlie

I personally use these words very often:
Fedt - awesome/great
Dejlig, skøn - wonderful/lovely
Træls - this "Jylland-word" can be used in EVERY kind of negative situation
Lækker - this words has many definitions, it depends on the situation.
E.g. "lækker mad" (delicious food)
"lækker pige" (hot girl)
"Jeg tager på ferie i næste uge. Det bliver lækkert" (I'm going on vacation next week. It will be great!)
Rar - pleasant/nice
Sær - weird/strange

I hope it helps
