(denne), (danne) (dette) | There are no plural forms for indefinite articles, as the are only ever used to refer to singular things. (denne), (danne) (dette) are all used for ''this'', ''these'', or ''those''; one only has to switch between them due to a noun's gender. | ||
It should be mentioned that the distinction bewteen (den) and (dan) is not always clear. Most mainland Scandinavians tend to pronounce them almost the same since they are used to only distinguishing between two grammatical genders in their native languages. In some cases in Icelandic, the Masculine and Feminine are pronounced the same, and are only clearly seperate in writing as (-inn) and (-in). | It should be mentioned that the distinction bewteen (den) and (dan) is not always clear.
