Questions & Answers about Min lønkonto er helt tom.
Why is the common gender "min" used for a loanword like "konto"?
While konto (account) is a loanword from Italian, it takes the common gender in Danish, so it is en konto. This means you must use the common gender possessive min. Also, remember that its plural is irregular: konti.
Why does the word "helt" have a "-t" added to it in this sentence?
In this sentence, helt acts as an adverb meaning completely or entirely, modifying the adjective tom (empty). When you turn the adjective hel (whole) into an adverb, you add a -t.
What would happen to the adjective "tom" if the subject were plural?
If you were describing a plural noun, like mine lommer (my pockets), the adjective needs a plural -e ending. Because tom ends in a single consonant after a short vowel, you must double the m before adding the e, making it tomme.
