Articles - Danish Grammar

In Danish grammar, articles play an important role in determining the gender and number of nouns. The definite article “den/det” is used for singular and plural nouns, while the indefinite article “en/et” is used only for singular. The choice of article depends on the gender of the noun and whether it is countable or uncountable.

Danish nouns can be either common or neuter gender. Common gender nouns take the article “en” for singular countable nouns and “den” for singular uncountable nouns. For plural countable nouns, the article is “de”, and for plural uncountable nouns, it is “de”.

Neuter gender nouns take the article “et” for singular countable nouns and “det” for singular uncountable nouns. For plural countable nouns, the article is “de” and for plural uncountable nouns, it is also “de”.

It is important to note that Danish articles also change depending on the case and definiteness of the noun phrase. This can include adding suffixes or changing the form of the article itself. A thorough understanding of articles is necessary for correct Danish noun phrase formation.
