Questions & Answers about Hans hår er kort.
Does hans change if the thing being owned is an et word or plural?
No, it stays exactly the same! Unlike min (my) or din (your), the word hans (his) does not change to match the gender or number of the noun that comes after it.
Since hår is an et word, why doesn't the adjective kort have a -t added to it?
When an adjective describes an et word, you usually add a -t to the end of it. However, because the base form of kort (short) already ends in the letter -t, we don't add a second one.
Is hår used exactly like 'hair' in English here?
Yes! Just like in English, when you talk about the hair on someone's head, hår is treated as a singular mass noun. That is why we use er (is) instead of treating it as a plural group of individual hairs.
