Questions & Answers about Min billet gælder også i metroen.
Why is it min billet and not mit billet?
Because billet is a common-gender noun in Danish: en billet.
In Danish, possessive words agree with the noun’s gender:
- min
- common gender singular
- mit
- neuter singular
- mine
- plural
So:
- min billet = my ticket
- mit hus = my house
- mine billetter = my tickets
Why is there no word for a or the before billet?
That is normal in Danish when you use a possessive like min.
Just like in English, you do not say my the ticket. Danish works the same way:
- min billet = my ticket
- not min billetten
- not min en billet
The possessive already makes the noun phrase definite enough.
