Definite Articles Exercises For Estonian Grammar

E-learning portal for self-study grammar exercisesย 

Definite Articles in Estonian grammar are unique because Estonian language does not have specific definite articles such as “the” in English, but rather expresses definiteness by adding endings to the nouns, usually “-a” or “-u” in singular form and “-de” or “-te” in plural form. These endings, called “definite genitive”, mark the nouns as specific and distinguish them from their indefinite counterparts. In this exercise, you will practice filling in the blanks with the correct definite article endings for nouns in Estonian.
