          So, in Danish. We use "sko" in singular form for "shoes"?

            "Sko" is also the plural form (en sko (one shoe), skoen (the shoe), flere sko (several shoes), alle skoene (all the shoes))

                    "Sko" is for both singular and plural forms I believe.

                            In all honesty I might actually use this. I hate shoes.

                              so, different from Swedish which uses a reflexive pronoun after "på" , in Danish it is correct to leave "på" dangling, is that correct?

                                Should "I do not have socks on" be accepted?

                                  I feel like if you're going to use this type of sentence structure it would make more sense to say the person has the article of clothing on, not that the person is wearing the article of clothing. I understand that Duolingo recognizes har X på as wearing X but it really should be has X on.
