"The girl designs shoes and socks."

Translation: Pigen designer sko og strømper.

Shouldn't sko change in any way?

[deactivated user]

No, sko doesn't change from the indefinite singular to the indefinite plural.

[askrahn]

Any idea why not? Is it a loan word from a language without plurals?

[deactivated user]

I don't think there's a specific reason. English has words like this too, such as sheep, deer and aircraft.

And no, sko isn't a loan word. It developed from the same root as English shoe, German Schuhe and Dutch schoen.

Thank you :)

A verb that is easy to understand :-)

Er der noget fejl med "udvikler"? https://ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=udvikle

[Dave865524]

I wonder if "strømper" might be related to the archaic English "strumpet" (whore)? The image of a woman rolling up her stockings is titillating even to modern audiences; that could explain the connection, if there is one.
