Danish: Ordbogen lists the noun version of død as døde. Can anyone comment/fix? I don't know enough about danish to tell what is correct. Rgould 07:40, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Your source only talks about the Engelish word dead and ordbogen.com is not the officiel Danish dictionary. For information about the danish language your always should use www.retskrivning.dk and ordnet.dk (http://ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=d%C3%B8d). Kinamand 09:10, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
The danish noun død means the process of dying, whereas "the dead" is translated with the adjective "død" ("dead"), used as a noun. "døde" is the plural form of the adjective "død", so "Ordbogen" is quite right.--Leo Laursen – (talk · contribs) 11:32, 12 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
