Questions & Answers about Fire kvinder arbejder i byen.
Does the number fire change if the noun is a neuter (et) word instead of a common (en) word?
No, numbers like fire (four) stay exactly the same regardless of the noun's gender. The only number that changes is one (en or et). So it is always fire, whether you are counting women or houses!
I see kvinder means women. How do I say just one woman?
The singular is en kvinde. Because it already ends in an 'e', you just add an -r to make it plural, which gives us kvinder.
If there are four women working, why doesn't the verb arbejder change to a plural form?
One of the best things about Danish is that verbs do not change for plurals! The present tense of the verb always ends in -r, no matter who or how many people are doing the action. It is jeg arbejder (I work) and fire kvinder arbejder (four women work).
I know i means in, but where is the word for the in i byen?
Danish usually attaches the word for the to the end of the noun. The word for city is en by. To say the city, you attach that -en to the end of the word, creating byen.
