"Papiret har en beskidt kant."

Translation: The paper has a dirty edge.

[sjolsen]

Is there a better word for "dirty" than literally "beshitten?"

[Jnwulff]

You can use snavset

But beskidt does not mean that something has shit on it

Skidt is dirt dust, spiderwebs and stuff like that. It is also a foul way og saying that you have used the toilet ( a form of the verb
skide)but what comes out of a person is never skidt

Shit in danish is lort. To say something is covered in shit you could say belortet. It is mostly used as a swear word but will be understood. (Belortet is not recognized as a word by dansk sprognævn)

The grund-form of 'beskidt' is already with a 't' ? (eg : this word is well written or not ?)

[Xneb]

Yes, it is beskidt for both common and neuter, with the e-form being beskidte

Thanks ! have a lingot :)

To confuse me, "kant" is "side" in Dutch and I almost wrote that.

[scalambra]

Might a Dane use arket or papirarket instead of papiret?

[DragonNights]

We might, but that makes the sentence even more specific. "Ark" is specifically one piece of paper, but in this sentence "papir" could in principle mean a whole stack of paper, as long as it is seen as a unit, like an unwrapped ream of printer paper.

[scalambra]

Thanks. I understand about the specificity of a sheet of paper - I was thinking that a stack of paper would have a side rather than an edge, and just wanted to check that one could use "ark" here as a stand-alone word.
