Regular nouns: Indefinite form

Yunha er ei jente. (Yunha is a girl.) Thiago er en gutt. (Thiago is a

boy.) Donald er et troll. (Donald is a troll.)

Nouns are great fun! A Norwegian noun will be either masculine,

feminine or neuter. This is a result of gender equality in Norway (lol).
The indefinite article varies according to gender, and exists in three
forms:

MASCULINE FEMININE
NEUTER (N)
(M) (F)

en gutt ei jente et troll

In some cases like “en gutt”, “ei jente” and “et troll” the biological
gender of what is described will be the same as its grammatical
gender. But many nouns don’t have any ”biological gender”, so it is
easier to learn the article of each new noun along with the noun itself.

 en bil – a car
 ei seng – a bed
 et bilde – a picture

The feminine article, ei, is optional: it is entirely possible to drop it and

use the masculine enin its place: ei/en seng. So yes, when it comes to
Norwegian nouns, we haven’t achieved genuine gender equality, yet,
and the masculine gender is still superior.

Anyway, there are three indefinite articles (i.e. en, ei, et) in Norwegian.

I hope the number doesn’t scare you because the usage of Norwegian
indefinite articles is not very different from the usage of the indefinite
article (i.e. a (an)) in English.

When you visit Norway and meet several trolls, you might want to use
the plural form of the noun troll. Norwegian uses a suffix to indicate the
plural. Most words will end in –er the plural indefinite form:

-Hun treffer en gutt. She meets a boy.

-Hun treffer mange gutter. She meets many boys.

On the other hand, neuter nouns of only one syllable, like “troll”, will
usually have no suffix in the indefinite plural form:

-Han ser et troll. He sees a troll.

-Han ser mange troll. He sees many trolls.
