Questions & Answers about Vi køber foder til kaninen, og senere køber hun også foder til hamsteren.
Why do kaninen and hamsteren end in -en?
Because in Danish, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of standing as a separate word.
- kanin = rabbit
- kaninen = the rabbit
- hamster = hamster
- hamsteren = the hamster
So til kaninen means for the rabbit, and til hamsteren means for the hamster.
Why is it foder and not mad?
Foder is specifically feed / animal food, so it is the natural word when talking about food for pets or animals.
- foder = feed, pet food, animal food
- mad = food in a more general sense, often human food
So køber foder til kaninen sounds much more natural than using mad here.
