Plural[edit | edit source]

Nouns have their basic form and a plural form, which has the suffix -en.

  • en fru (a woman)
  • fruen (women)


Loan words ending in a vowel, have the plural suffix -s.

  • autos (cars)
  • fotos (photos)


Genitiv[edit | edit source]

The genitive is marked by the suffix -s.

  • en frends hus (a friend's house)


The genitive is applied also in order to form adverbs.

  • naghts (by night)
  • dels (partly)


If the noun already ends in -s, no other -s will be added. Instead, there will be an apostrophe.

  • Thomas' autos (Thomas' cars)
