Questions & Answers about Hendes ansigt er flot.
Why doesn't Hendes change to match the gender of the word ansigt?
When using words like "my" or "your" (min / mit, din / dit), you have to match the gender of the noun. But third-person possessives like hendes (her) and hans (his) are fixed! They never change, so you use hendes whether the next word is an en word or an et word.
Is the d in Hendes silent?
Yes, it is! When a d comes right after an n in Danish, it is almost always silent. You should pronounce hendes as if it were spelled "hennes".
The word ansigt is an et word. Why doesn't the adjective flot get an extra -t at the end?
You are right that adjectives usually get a -t added to the end when they describe an et word (a neuter noun). However, because the base form of flot already ends in a -t, we do not add a second one. It stays exactly the same.
Could I use smukt instead of flot to mean beautiful?
Yes! Smuk is the direct translation of "beautiful," so you could absolutely say Hendes ansigt er smukt (notice we do add a -t to smuk here because of the et word). Flot is a slightly broader word that means "great-looking," "handsome," or "pretty," and it is extremely common in everyday Danish.
