            Can "moderne" be translated "fashionable", as well?

              Moderne is the base adjective. And adjectives whose base form ends on -e are (most often) invariant for gender and number.

              • en moderne mand
              • et moderne hus
              • moderne børn
              • det er meget moderne

              Would you actually say this in Denmark? Do you call people individuals?

                  The latter to translate "modern", the former if you want to say "the fashions" (mode -> moder -> moderne)

                    Duolingo pronounces 'moderne' with the stress on the first syllable in one case, and on the second in another, both in the same sentence (in this very question!)
