Adjectives need to agree with the gender and number of noun they're describing:
indefinite singular m/f: hvit
indefinite singular n: hvitt
definite singular m/f/n: hviteall plurals: hvite
So are you saying tha a single cat "en katt" would be "en hvit katt", multiple cats would be "noen hvite katter"? Seems strange to modify the adjective relative to the sum of nouns it refers to.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
I'm sure it must seem so to someone whose native language is English, but it's actually not all that uncommon. :)
Thank you. I'm finding that speaking English for so long has put me at a disadvantage learning other languages like Norsk. With your help I'll be fluent in no time!
Is it correct to say "de hvite katter" instead of "hvite kattene" for the white cats, or are they interchangable and understood the same way?
