Questions & Answers about Han har et stort hoved.
Why is it et and not en before stort hoved?
In Danish, nouns belong to one of two groups: common words (en-words) or neuter words (et-words). The word for head, hoved, is an et-word, so we use et for "a".
Why is there a -t at the end of stort?
Adjectives must match the noun they describe. Because hoved is an et-word, the base adjective stor (big) gets a -t added to the end. If it were describing an en-word, like a dog (en stor hund), there would be no -t.
How do you pronounce the d at the end of hoved?
It is pronounced as a "soft d" in Danish. It sounds a bit like the "th" in the English word "the", but your tongue should lightly touch the back of your lower teeth instead of resting between your teeth.
Does the verb har change if I say "I have" instead of "he has"?
No, Danish verbs are very simple in this way! The verb does not change depending on who is doing the action. It is always har in the present tense, whether you are saying jeg har (I have), han har (he has), or vi har (we have).
