Questions & Answers about Hans øre er rødt.
Why is it rødt and not just rød?
In Danish, adjectives have to match the gender of the noun they describe. Because øre (ear) is an et-word (a neuter noun), you must add a -t to the base adjective rød (red) to make it rødt.
How can I tell if øre is an en-word or an et-word just by looking at this sentence?
The adjective rødt is your biggest clue! Because it has that extra -t at the end, it tells you that the noun it describes (øre) must be an et-word (et øre).
Does the word hans (his) change because øre is an et-word?
No, it doesn't. Unlike the Danish words for "my" (min/mit) or "your" (din/dit), the words for "his" (hans) and "her" (hendes) never change to match the noun. It will always be hans, whether he owns an en-word or an et-word.
Is øre singular or plural here?
It is singular ("ear"). If it were plural ("ears"), the sentence would be Hans ører er røde. Notice how both the noun (ører) and the adjective (røde) would change to match the plural form.
