"Har du en biograf?"

Translation: Do you have a cinema?

[EvgenFirst]

Funny word for cinema) Greek origin or just a coincedence?

[Hedebygade]

Danish or swedish in origin but created by combining greek words. Bio=living. Graf= writing or depiction.

[KasperFeld]

Hence the similarity to biography, the description of someones life.

[Howard]

Like "bioscoop" in Dutch, from Greek bios "life" and skopein "look at."

[Kadmos_Thebes]

Danish is wonderful and I love Greek words in any language. It makes learning a lot easier. But in Greek we say κινηματογράφος. That would be "kinematograf." --> cinema, kino in other languages.
Biograf reminds me of βιογράφος, i.e. a biographer. Still, a beautiful word. Why not.

Unless we're talking about collectable cards or something.

Do not forget what they call home-cinema. Many people can own a private cinema

[AnCatDubh]

That was really confusing. In Hebrew that word means ‘biographer’.

[BrunnoHC]

What's that? A byography?

[OsoGegenHest]

Har du...? = Have you...?

[tonkotsuLover]

It's in question form. It translates to "do you have"

[ElliottPet4]

Indeed.

Are you eating?: "spiser du?"

You are eating: "du spiser"

Even in english, putting the verb at the start (are - to be) turns it into a question just by rearranging words.

[Veronica1694]

no....how am i suppossed to remember that biograph is cinema? TOO WEIRD am i allowed to disagree with a whole language?

[Monika914903]

Just go to Denmark and read the posters in the streets: NU I BIOGRAFEN

[sll-ttt]

And biograf is a very easy word to remember, unlike folketinginerngheterneren, tallerknernenren, pandekagepanden, or even bjørnene vs børnene
