    Scarlett Johansson
    Actress



    Scarlett Johansson is an Danish-American actress, model and singer. She made her film debut in North and was later nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead for her performance in ... Wikipedia





    Born: November 22, 1984 (age 29), New York City, New York, United States



    Height: 1.60 m



    Full name: Scarlett Ingrid Johansson



    Spouse:Romain Dauriac (m. 2013), Ryan Reynolds (m. 2008–2011)



    Upcoming movies: Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Chef


    I'm a foreigner so I'm genuinely asking this question, tbh. Google uses "An Danish-American" instead of "A Danish-American" but what I learned from school tells me quite the opposite, and when such a conflict happens I always tend to believe the American website rather than a chinese school, but after reading the whole thing I become even more confused.

    It appears, according to Google, that our Goddess has already got married to Romain Dauriac but I haven't heard of any news about her wedding, did I miss something?

    And no matter which grammar is correct, how the did our Goddess become a (or an) Danish American in the first place? She was born in NY so she's 100% a natural American, and I think that such terms like Danish-American are often used to refer to those foreign born immigrants, or am I wrong again?

    There's a reason why Google should and will be bought up by Bill Gates, tbh.

    Ever been to Gongdu? an before a vowel and a before a consonant is the basic rule but in this situation it seems either would work as the D sound in Danish has both vowel enunciation. I think A is more appropriate but with how screwy English rules are, it may not be the 'correct' one. But what do I know? I was taught English in Medellin and Caracas.

    A for a word that starts with a consonant An for a word that starts with a vowel.

    ^ Thanks (and gracias) I just suspected but had a hard time believing that google was so full of fail, until you people confirmed it to me. Goddess ain't married to that French yet (even if it's ever gonna happen), though in my novels she got married to him as early as in November last year and I even attended their wedding

    Yeah, both of you are also females, too. Another similarity.

    Is that why we say "a hour" and not "an hour"?

    There's exceptions to the rule. This is English after all. Nothing makes sense.

    I also have a lot in common with Goddess like, we both have obsessive characters[1], and although I was not born in NY, my hometown is at the exact same la ude as NY and also located on the eastern coast of a huge continent. And we even look similar in some way, my facial figure is just like that of Goddess, fleshy cheeks and full lips etc...

    [1] "I have an obsessive character. I manicure my nails at three in the morning because nobody else can do it the right way. Maybe that's the secret to my success." -- Goddess

    Harlem or Mono or whomever, its not the main account holder so either way everyone knows its not meth fiend posting.

    A hint, try not to use new words the main account holder probably never even knew existed. This isn't even a subtle change.

    This rule does make sense, though.

    The a/an distinction exists only to make the language flow better when spoken, so it's determined by how words sound rather than how they're spelled. "An" always precedes a word that begins with a vowel sound. "A" always precedes a word that begins with a consonant sound. That's why we say/write "an hour" and "a one hundred dollar bill."

    That's what I thought but I wasn't 100%. Hour, honor, etc all sound like a vowel. So based on that rule is it "A Danish" or "An Danish"?
