    why not, 'dette hus er stort og dyrt'?

      "dette" means "this", and always refers to something close to the speaker

          Could it also be 'Denne hus er stort og dyrt?'

            Nej, "denne" betyder ogsaa "this"

              Why not (store og dyr)? Or when we use stort instead of store or stor?

                «Stor» is when the noun is common (with «en» ending) «Stort» is when the noun is neutral (with «et» ending) «Store» is when the nouns are plural

                Same with Dyr, Dyrt and Dyre (I am not sure for Dyre tho, maybe it's Dyr even when it refers to a plural)
