So, ive noticed that "er" after after, "pige", "kvinde", "mand", or "dreng" means plural. And "en" means you put a "the" in front of it.
You put an "-r" at the end to make "pige" and "kvinde" plural but it is different when it comes to "mand" and "dreng".
To make "mand" plural, you switch out the "a" with an "æ".
To make "dreng" plural, you add an "e" at the end.
pige --> piger
kvinde --> kvinder
mand --> mænd
dreng --> drenge
It should be accepted. However you are advised to use 'kvinder' instead of 'damer' as the latter has a little old-fashioned and slightly demeaning connotation.
Exceptions are when you say "damer og herrer" (ladies and gentlemen) or "ældre damer" (older women). And it is also used by young people as an equivalent to ladies in American pop-culture
As a native danish speaker, I would say:
dame = lady
kvinde = woman
And avoid using "dame", as it is very rarely used, and when used, it is sometimes negative and rude.
pige = girl
pigen = the girl
piger = girls
pigerne = the girls
dreng = boy
drengen = the boy
drenge = boys
drengene = the boys
kvinde = woman
kvinden = the woman
kvinder = women
kvinderne = the women
mand = man
manden = the man
mænd = men
mændende = the men
