Questions & Answers about Hundert Flaschen stehen in der Küche.
Why is it just Hundert instead of Ein hundert?
In German, you do not need to use a word for "a" or "one" before exactly one hundred. Just saying Hundert naturally means "a hundred."
How do you form the plural for a word like Flasche?
Why do we use stehen here instead of just saying they "are" in the kitchen?
While English speakers often just say things "are" somewhere, German prefers to be specific about how objects are positioned. Because bottles are placed upright, German says they stehen (stand).
The word for kitchen is feminine (die Küche). Why does it say in der Küche?
When you use the word in to describe a fixed location (like where something is resting or standing), feminine words change their "the" from die to der. This grammar change is called the dative case.
