Questions & Answers about Pandehåret er blevet for langt.

What does pandehåret mean exactly?

It means the fringe in British English or the bangs in American English.

Literally:

• pande = forehead
• hår = hair

So pandehår is literally forehead hair.

Why does pandehår become pandehåret?

Because Danish usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun.

So:

• et pandehår = a fringe / a set of bangs
• pandehåret = the fringe / the bangs

The ending -et is the definite ending for a neuter noun.

Is pandehår singular or plural?

In Danish, it is normally treated as a singular neuter noun, even though English often says bangs, which is plural.

That is why the sentence uses:

• er = singular is
• langt = the neuter singular form of long

So Danish thinks of it more like fringe hair or the fringe than like a plural noun.
