The Indefinite Article
L'articolo indeterminativo
Ll-Artìcuele Ndetermenatìv

The indefinite article is the same throughout Molise:

• nu before a masculine noun beginning with a consonant and often before words beginning with "i".
• na before a feminine noun beginning with a consonant and often before words beginning with "i".
• n' before any noun beginning with a vowel and sometimes with "g" followed by a vowel.

There is no plural indefinite article per se, but words like parìchj, čìjrt, and ne dùj (meaning "several", "some", and "a couple of") function as such.

For example:

• Nu trén (a train), nu trìt de pan (a piece of bread), nu gjardìn (a garden)
• Na tàvele (a table), na man (a hand), na fémmene (a woman)
• N'àčene de (a dash of), n'ômbr (a shadow), n'uòv (an egg)

• Če štev parìchj gjend (There were (lit. "there was") quite a few people)
• Čìert gjend če crèdene nd'u diàvele (Some people believe in the devil)
• P'a štrad jàvene ne dùj przùn (A couple of people were walking around the street, lit. "on the street went a couple of people")
