Grammaire à connaître
Nouns in Danish have grammatical gender: common (en-words) or neuter (et-words). 'Hotel' is a neuter noun.
Et hotel (a hotel)
The indefinite plural of neuter nouns ending in a consonant or -e is often the same as the singular form, but 'hotel' is an exception and takes '-er'.
Hoteller (hotels)
The definite singular form of neuter nouns is created by adding '-et' to the indefinite form.
Hotellet (the hotel)
The definite plural form of neuter nouns is created by adding '-erne' to the indefinite plural form.
Hotellerne (the hotels)
When a demonstrative pronoun (like 'dette' - this, or 'det' - that) is used before a neuter noun, the noun remains in its indefinite form.
Dette hotel (this hotel)
