In English, gender is shown
in the pronouns: he, him,
his (masculine), she, her, hers (feminine)
and it, its (neuter).
The distinctions are fairly
straightforward (if you're English-speaking).
Many European
languages show gender distinctions in their pronouns and in their nouns.
For
example, in French: un jardin = a
garden, une voiture = a
carriage.
In Spanish: un libro = a
book , una casa = a
house
Similarly, in Danish some nouns are
indicated by en (
= a car);
other nouns
are preceded by et (
= a house).
There are no rules to show what is en and what is et.
However, around 75% of Danish
nouns use en.
To help you remember, all et-words are orange throughout the site.
