6 Interesting Facts About Danish

As in many languages, Danish nouns get divided into genders. But unlike many languages, Danish has both natural and grammatical genders. Natural genders correspond to the biological sex of whatever you are talking about – so a woman is of the feminine gender. For grammatical genders, however, Danish has fused together the masculine and feminine (which is how Romance languages categorise their nouns, for example) into the common gender. The other grammatical gender is the neuter. So you have natural masculine and feminine genders in addition to the grammatical common and neuter.
