"Do the pants fit you?"

Translation: Kan du passe bukserne?

[SuzannaWaldorff]

Ville man ikke på dansk spørge : " Passer bukserne dig ?"

[frankenwer]

My question, too. I wrote " Passer buksenevpå dig?? " and was surprised about the answer

[lubenicalara]

Is "Passer dig bukserne?" wrong?

[kenmerk]

I think it is because of word order

[romaklimenko]

If "kan" is "can", why the "do" is here?

[carolinejcooper]

I read this literally as "can you fit (in) the pants?" But that is just not the form that would be used in English. English says "The pants fit you", not "You fit in the pants." When talking about clothing in English, the person is the object of the sentence, not the clothing.
