"Do you believe in her?"

Translation: Tror du på hende?

[lambda314]

So how would you say 'Do you believe her'?

[Hedebygade]

"Tror du x" is grammatically correct (i think) but you never hear it. Typically we use "tror du på x". I can see that the english sentences, 'do you belive her' and 'do you belive in her' have slightly different meanings, but we do not make that distinction.

Thank you, this is really helpful!

Why isn't the expression 'Stoler du på hende?' accepted?

[Talmerian]

So, I am getting the sense that believing in someone and believing them is the same thing in Denmark? That can't be correct.

Whats wrong with tror du i hende

[tobyponz]

You probably meant "Tror I på hende", which I just flagged as probably correct

[mipani]

I think he meant "Do you believe in her", so his "i" meant "in", not "you (plural).

[AlKnox]

That's what i also said, because I usually see på meaning "on", as in "do you believe on her"?

[CONNORSCUL3]

I did the same thing. I think that I figured it out.

So, believe is a verb, right? And, say that she ate you, right? So, then you would be IN her, so you would be believing in her.
