Correct Wrong AnsweredJust like the definite form of the noun is made by adding an ending, plural forms also add endings. The plural form is not gender specific, but different nouns have different endings.
The most common endings are:
-er:
en bil / to biler
and -e:
en stol / to stole
In addition, som nouns do not have plural endings (sometimes written -Ø). Those nouns have the same form in singular and plural:
en fisk / to fisk
A small number of frequent words have plural forms that show a change in the vowel, either in combination with plural:
en bog / to bøger
Or in a combination without an ending:
en mand / to mænd
The definite plural form is made by adding the ending -ne:
hunde / hundene

Correct Wrong AnsweredAsk for help - get help with something:
It seems that Danes find it most polite to leave people at peace, not interfere and not get involved unless they need to, or are asked to.
You cannot automatically count on people asking if you are lost or helping you carry your stuff. Danes assume you can control it. But, if you need help, then you should just ask - Danes really want to help.
