Example on how to use the verb – Danish version
Hver morgen kan Clara lide at tegne billeder af dinosaurer i sin notesbog. Hendes lærer, fru Ellis, som altid har kunnet lide naturvidenskab, beundrer Claras livlige fantasi. “Du bliver palæontolog!” siger hun ofte. Men Clara, der som lille tumling kunne lide hvalpe mere end knogler, er ikke sikker endnu.
Fru Ellis kan lide mysterier, og hendes passion begyndte for år siden, da hun kunne lide at samle sten som barn. Hun husker stadig spændingen ved at opdage sit første stykke rav. Nu har hun givet den nysgerrighed videre til Clara. Men på det seneste har fru Ellis kunnet lide at tilbringe tid med en sjusket golden retriever, Max, som hun adopterede sidste vinter.
En eftermiddag, mens Clara tegner en T-Rex, kan Max lide at puffe hendes hånd med sin snude. Pigen griner, og fru Ellis smiler, da hun indser, hvordan livets små glæder – dinosaurer, kruseduller og hunde – har flettet sig sammen. Clara har kunnet lide historiefortælling, siden hun kunne tale, og i dag indeholder hendes fortælling en hvalp, der også kan lide dinosaurer.
English version
Every morning, Clara likes to draw pictures of dinosaurs in her notebook. Her teacher, Ms. Ellis, who has always liked science, admires Clara’s vivid imagination. “You’ll grow up to be a paleontologist!” she often says. But Clara, who liked puppies more than bones as a toddler, isn’t sure yet.
Ms. Ellis likes mysteries, and her passion began years ago when she liked collecting rocks as a child. She still remembers the thrill of discovering her first piece of amber. Now, she’s passed that curiosity to Clara. Yet, lately, Ms. Ellis has liked spending time with a scruffy golden retriever, Max, whom she adopted last winter.
One afternoon, while Clara sketches a T-Rex, Max likes to nudge her hand with his nose. The girl laughs, and Ms. Ellis smiles, realizing how life’s little joys—dinosaurs, doodles, and doggies—have intertwined. Clara has liked storytelling since she could speak, and today, her tale includes a puppy who likes dinosaurs too.
