Questions & Answers about Har du planter i huset?
How do we form the plural for the word planter here?
The singular noun is en plante (a plant). To make regular nouns plural, you usually add -er. But because plante already ends in an -e, you just add an -r to get the plural planter (plants).
Why doesn't the Danish question use a word for "do"?
Danish doesn't use helper words like "do" to make questions. Instead, you just swap the verb (har) and the subject (du). So, instead of saying "Do you have", you literally say "Have you" (Har du).
How does huset mean "the house"?
In Danish, "the" isn't a separate word that goes before the noun. Instead, it attaches to the end! The word for "a house" is et hus. To say "the house", you take that et and stick it on the end to make huset.
Is the "t" at the end of huset pronounced?
No, it is silent! When you add -et to the end of a noun to mean "the" (like making hus into huset), the final t is usually silent.
