2 Nouns

2.1 The articles used with nouns

There are two articles used with nouns: en and et. The article is placed before the noun.

en hund a dog
et hus a house

Words with en are called n-words.
Words with et are called t-words.

There are, unfortunately, no rules that tell us when to use en, and when to use et.

Comparison:
In English we have the indefinite articles a and an. A is used in front of a vowel, an in front of a consonant.

a man
an apple

2 Navneord

2.1 Navneords kendeord

Der er to kendeord: en og et. Kendeordet står foran navneordet.

en hund
et hus

Ord med en kaldes n-ord.
Ord med et kaldes t-ord.

Der er desværre ingen regler, som fortæller, hvornår man bruger en, og hvornår man bruger et.
