Danish:Verbs
From Christoph's Personal Wiki

The present tense in Danish verbs is expressed by adding an r to the end.
The basic form of a verb is the infinitive. In English these are words preceded by to, as to go and to be. The Danish translation of to in this case is at. Danish infinitives usually end in e, and you get the present tense by adding r.
