Questions & Answers about Har du to katte?
Why is there no Danish word for "do" at the start of this question?
Danish doesn't use a helper word like "do" to ask questions. Instead, you just swap the subject and the verb, putting the verb first. Har du... literally means "Have you..." but it is the standard way to say "Do you have...".
Does the number to change depending on the gender of the noun?
No, it stays exactly the same! In Danish, only the number 1 changes based on gender (en for common gender words, and ét for neuter words). For the numbers 2 through 10, the word never changes form, no matter what you are counting.
Why does the plural word katte have two T's when the singular word is just kat?
When adding the plural -e ending to a short word that ends in a single consonant, Danish often doubles that consonant (so kat becomes katte). This spelling rule tells you to keep the "a" vowel sound short and snappy.
