"Du bad om sukkeret."

Translation: You asked for the sugar.

[jayagmon]

could this also mean "about the sugar"?

[deactivated user]

No, that would be: "Du spurgte om sukkeret."

[jayagmon]

so "bad" is "asked for", and "sprugte" is simply "asked"?

[deactivated user]

Yes, essentially.

"at spørge" means to pose a question while "at bede" is more like to request / to ask for (and it also means to pray)

Dictionary definitions (in Danish):

at spørge (vb.)

at bede (vb.)
