Et for neuter nouns (et hus, a house), en for the rest. When counting, say en. Danes will not correct you either way.
Spelled with a v, said like "soo". The only number up to ten that looks nothing like it sounds.
Twenty is tyve, thirty tredive, forty fyrre. Fifty, halvtreds (hal-TRES), is where Danish numbers become famously strange, so learn prices from the screen.
