Questions & Answers about Er vandet varmt her?
Why does varmt end in -t?
Varmt is describing vandet (the water). Because vand is a neuter noun (an et-word), adjectives describing it must take a -t ending to match. The basic dictionary form of the adjective is just varm.
Why is it vandet instead of just vand?
Vand means water. To say 'the water', Danish attaches the definite article to the end of the noun. Since vand is an et-word, we add -et to make vandet.
Why is the verb er at the very beginning of the sentence?
Danish creates yes/no questions by swapping the subject and the verb. By putting the verb er (is) before the subject vandet (the water), it easily turns a regular statement into a question.
Do I pronounce the t at the end of vandet and varmt exactly the same?
No, they are different! The t at the end of a definite noun like vandet is pronounced as a soft D. But the t added to an adjective like varmt is pronounced clearly as a regular crisp T-sound.
