Questions & Answers about Den uautoriserede betaling undersøges, forudsat at banken får kortoplysningerne.
Why is it den and not det in den uautoriserede betaling?
Because betaling is a common-gender noun in Danish: en betaling.
When a common-gender noun is definite and has an adjective before it, Danish uses den:
- en betaling
- den uautoriserede betaling
If the noun were neuter, you would use det:
- et kort
- det nye kort
Why does uautoriserede end in -e?
In Danish, adjectives usually take -e in a definite noun phrase after den, det, or de.
Compare:
- en uautoriseret betaling = indefinite
- den uautoriserede betaling = definite
So the -e ending here is not random; it shows that the noun phrase is definite.
Why is it den uautoriserede betaling and not den uautoriserede betalingen?
