How many grammatical genders do Danish nouns have?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. two: common gender and neuter
- Step 1: Danish merged masculine and feminine into one common gender. Step 2. Common-gender nouns take en and neuter nouns take et. Answer: two. Why not the others: Three genders are found in German and Icelandic, and the other counts do not match Danish.
