Questions & Answers about Dat retro logo is cool.
Why doesn't retro get an -e at the end? We're using dat, which usually forces an -e.
Because retro ends in the vowel -o. In Dutch, adjectives ending in vowels like -a, -o, -i, or -y (which are usually loanwords) are invariable. This means they never get an -e ending, even when grammar rules would normally require one.
How does the word dat confirm the gender of logo?
Dat is the demonstrative pronoun ('that') used exclusively for singular het words. If logo were a de word, the sentence would have to start with die.
Unlike retro, does the English loanword cool follow normal adjective rules if placed before a noun?
Yes. Because cool ends in a consonant, it behaves like a regular Dutch adjective. In this sentence, it is used after the verb, so it gets no ending anyway. But if you placed it before a de word, it would get an -e, for example: een coole tas (a cool bag).
