"Sammen er vi stærke!"

Translation: Together we are strong!

[Meredydd]

I know that sometimes it happens that you change the order of words, but could you help me out with an explanation? Thank you

Copied from a previous comment of mine:

Danish utilises V2 word order which means that the finite verb has to come in the second position in a declarative main clause (= a main clause that isn't a question).

You see that in the following sentence, er comes in the second position: Vi er stærke.

If we add something in front of the sentence, the verb still has to be in the second position:

• Sammen er vi stærke.

Thanks for a good explenation.

what is wrong with together we are powerful ?

[AbbyWertz]

I love this phrase, but this is the first I've heard of V2 word order.
