"Hendes sko er hvide."

Translation: Her shoes are white.

[skullcap]

I'm pretty sure the speaker had a stroke before 'hvide'

[I-eat-spycrabs]

Lol yes

[Martin771116]

Dude, I was going to write the same thing! Hilarious.

[xenoph2]

"hendes sko er VLLLLLL"

[cOOlaide117]

Is "sko" both singular and plural?

[degeberg]

Yes. "En sko", "to sko", "tre sko", "et par sko" (a pair of shoes).

There is a difference in declension when it's in definite form though: skoen, skoene.

[MantisObscura]

So would "her shoe is white" be correct?

[MantisObscura]

Or - wait - hvide is plural, so "hendes sko er hvide" means "her shoes are white" but "hendes sko er hvid" would be "her shoe is white"?

[degeberg]

Yes, exactly :)

[JamesTWils]

No, the singular would take a singular adjective. Of course, who can tell in the spoken language, since one consonant pretty much sounds like another in Danish, when they decide to throw in a consonant or two. ;-)

thanks

[KatLilie]

tak, i had the same questions :D

[cmike111]

Thank you for reminding me of the plural for white, i missed that and was going to ask the same thing

[David555219]

I did the same mistake. From which country are you from?

[rachelvantonder]

Why is "hendes sko er hvid" wrong? Can't it mean "her shoe is white"?

[tidyas]

That's only 'cause she hasn't been outside yet !

[Leonardo485459]

Oh my! Is the pronunciation for hvide correct? What I got was "yuah"

[11chanj]

Are hvide and hvid pronounced differently?

[pigu006]

her shoe is white......wrong~

[TheLegend2886090]

okay

[Imapetsitter]

Did not hear "hvide"

[CaitlynLar10]

I swear I will never get the hang of these language rules :( help
