Questions & Answers about Hvad er din adresse?
Why do we use din here instead of dit?
Possessive pronouns in Danish change to match the gender of the noun they belong to. Because adresse is a common-gender word (en adresse), we use din. If you were asking about a neuter word (an et word), like et hus (a house), you would use dit instead.
Is adresse spelled exactly like the English word?
Almost, but watch out! In Danish, adresse has only one 'd' and two 's's. The English word has two 'd's. It is a very common spelling mistake for English speakers to accidentally add an extra 'd' when writing in Danish.
How is Hvad pronounced in this sentence?
The 'd' in Hvad is completely silent. In normal, everyday conversation, it is pronounced just like "va". This is very common in Danish—many short words ending in 'd' drop the sound entirely.
