Questions & Answers about Hvilket land har færrest borgere?
Why do we use færrest here instead of mindst?
Færrest is the superlative of få (few), meaning "fewest." You use it with countable nouns like borgere (citizens). Mindst means "least" and is used for uncountable nouns like water, time, or money.
Does færrest need an extra -e at the end because borgere is plural?
No. When using færrest as a quantifier directly in front of an indefinite plural noun, it does not get an -e ending. You would only add the -e if you were making it definite, as in de færreste borgere (the fewest citizens).
Why is it hvilket land and not hvilken land?
Land is a neuter noun (an et-word). The word for "which" has to match the gender of the noun it describes, so hvilken becomes hvilket.
What is the singular form of borgere?
The singular is en borger. For most Danish nouns that already end in -er in the singular, you simply add an -e to make them plural.
