Questions & Answers about Jeg sover med to puder.
Why does the plural word for pillows (puder) only add an -r?
In Danish, most nouns that already end in an -e in their singular form (en pude) just add an -r to become plural indefinite. You do not need to add an extra vowel.
Does the number to change depending on the gender of the noun?
No, numbers from to (two) and up stay exactly the same regardless of whether the noun is an en-word or an et-word. Only the number one (en or et) changes to match the gender of the noun.
Could I use sover to say I am falling asleep?
No, sover only describes the ongoing state of being asleep. If you want to say you are falling asleep, you have to use a different phrase: falder i søvn.
I always forget: is the d in med silent?
It is not completely silent, but it is a soft d (blødt d). This means it is pronounced softly, sounding somewhat similar to the 'th' in the English word 'the,' rather than a hard, punchy English 'd.'
