### Plural Adjectives: The "-e" Ending

In Danish, adjectives change to match the number of things or people they describe. When describing a plural subject—like "we" (*vi*), "you all" (*I*), or "they" (*de*)—you add **-e** to the end of the base adjective.

For example, *glad* (happy) becomes *glade*, and *sur* (mad) becomes *sure*.

### Describing Plural Nouns

This rule applies to all plural nouns. Whether you are talking about girls (*pigerne*), boys (*drengene*), or even animals, if there is more than one, the adjective must take the **-e** ending.

- *rask* (healthy) becomes *raske*
- *trist* (sad) becomes *triste*
- *tørstig* (thirsty) becomes *tørstige*

### Stacking Adjectives and Asking Questions

The plural **-e** ending is consistent. It stays exactly the same when you turn the sentence into a question, or when you describe a group using more than one adjective. 

When using multiple adjectives together, just remember to add **-e** to every single adjective that describes the plural subject!
