Yes, Danish seems to be in between German and English, except for the first example. die/der/das -> [see below] -> the drei -> tre -> three Donner -> torden -> thunder Ding -> ting -> thing daher -> derfor -> therefore du -> du -> thou I have no idea what happened to the definite article in Danish though: ein Haus -> et hus -> a house das Haus -> huset -> the house Aside: The Danish capitalization rules used to mirror the German rules until after WWII, where we switched to the Swedish rules.
