"Være" is a Danish verb that translates to "to be" in English. It is one of the most fundamental and frequently used verbs in the Danish language, serving as a copula to link the subject of a sentence with its predicate. The verb "være" is irregular, meaning its conjugation does not follow the standard patterns of regular Danish verbs.

The present tense conjugations of "være" are as follows: "jeg er" (I am), "du er" (you are), "han/hun/den/det er" (he/she/it is), "vi er" (we are), "I er" (you all are), and "de er" (they are). In the past tense, the verb is conjugated as "jeg var" (I was), "du var" (you were), "han/hun/den/det var" (he/she/it was), "vi var" (we were), "I var" (you all were), and "de var" (they were).

"Være" is also used in the formation of various tenses and moods in Danish. For example, it is used to form the present perfect tense when combined with the past participle of other verbs and the auxiliary verb "har" (have). Additionally, "være" plays a crucial role in the passive voice construction, where it is used with the past participle of the main verb to indicate that the subject is the recipient of the action rather than the doer.

In summary, "være" is an essential verb in Danish, serving as the primary means of expressing existence, identity, and state of being. Its irregular conjugation and versatile usage make it a key component of Danish grammar.
