Kürer

Kører is the present tense form of the Danish verb køre, meaning to drive or to operate a vehicle. It is used when the subject performs the action of driving, whether it is a car, bus, bicycle, train, or any vehicle, and it can also be used more broadly for moving something that travels or for running a device or system. The verb appears in sentences such as jeg kører, du kører, han kører, vi kører, I kører, de kører.

Grammatical forms include the infinitive køre, the simple past kørte, and the past participle kørt. The perfect tense is formed with have/har: jeg har kørt, vi har kørt. The imperative form is kør (singular) or kør (plural with a following verb often implied by context), used to give a command such as “Kør!” meaning “Drive!” or “Go ahead.”

Usage notes emphasize that køre governs typical motion or operation constructions. Common expressions include køre bil for to drive a car, and køre til arbejde for driving to work. In Danish, the word is also linked to related terms such as kørekort (driving license) and kørsel (driving or motion). Danish shares cognates with Norwegian and Swedish, where kjøre or köra serve analogous functions, reflecting common North Germanic roots.
