"Der er meget koldt udenfor, jeg henter flere tæpper."

Translation: It is very cold outside, I will fetch more blankets.

[Bluthund]

Why is it "der er koldt" and not "det er koldt"?

[jesklittum]

Both would be equally correct. "Det er koldt" is a subjective feeling relating to the person, whereas "Der er koldt" is more objective. A person could say; "Jeg fryser. Det er koldt" relating to the person him/herselvf feeling the cold, but would say "Der er koldt i Sibirien" based on the knowledge that it is a cold place in general.

[Bluthund]

I see. Thanks!

Is It common to use the present instead of the future? Tak

[ycUvuSap]

The future tense is implied, so there is no need to be explicit about it.

[ycUvuSap]

Er "It is very cold out." også rigtigt?

[Patty13647]

Why am I being marked wrong for saying, "I will fetch several blankets" when both
"several" and "more" make perfect sense in this sentence?
