"Hvor mange ord er der?"

Translation: How many words are there?

[chilvence]

All of them.

[wojo4hitz]

Toooo many

[Olweg]

why not 'order', if there are many of them?

[Xneb]

Because the plural of "ord" is "ord".

et ord = a word
ordet = the word
flere ord = several words
alle ordene = all the words

[Olweg]

Oh ok, thanx :)

[Pleijaden94]

Hey, this is analog to worm - orm! Maybe it also applies to worth -> orth, or work -> ork, ... ;) ?

[HastaLaVista83]

No, but the pattern definitiely exists!

word - ord

worm - orm

wolf - ulv

week - uge (compare German "Woche")

strange - underlig (literal "wonderly")

wish - at ønske (compare German "wünschen")

And some more...
