    Not good. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Apples for doctors are like garlic for vampires.

          Only if you throw it hard enough.

            Unless it is a Tarantino's Red Apple.

              I haven't really heard anyone use the work doktor, just læge. Thoughts?

                It is not used much for medical doctor any more.

                  I'm also taking Danish lessons in Denmark and they never use "doktor", it is not Danish, a doctor is "en læge"

                    still - læge is much more used today - unless as a title - or in TV series showing life in denmark 50 years ago

                    Huh, that's weird. I would've guessed that the apple would've kept them away.

                        when we use rød and when rødt?

                          Rød when you want to describe a -n noun. Rødt when you want to describe a -t noun

                            In the Danish I learned growing up "et" meant "the".

                              in this case it is a number e.g. one = 1 = et

                                Et can mean 'one' or 'the' depending on the context, but only for -t nouns
