Definite articles Exercises For Latvian Grammar

Grammar exercise for native language understandingย 

In the Latvian language, there are no grammatical devices such as โ€œtheโ€ or โ€œaโ€ to distinguish between definite and indefinite nouns. However, there are endings (-ais, -ฤ, -ais, -ฤs for masculine singular, feminine singular, masculine plural, feminine plural respectively), known as definite forms, added to adjectives to express definiteness. Incorporating these definite forms accurately and consistently in your sentences is fundamental to mastering Latvian grammar.
