Questions & Answers about Je krijgt garantie op enkele tweedehands producten.
Why is it enkele and not enkelen here?
You use enkele without the -n when it directly describes a noun that comes right after it—in this case, producten. You only add the -n to make it enkelen when the word stands completely alone and refers to people.
Does enkele mean "single" or "a few" here?
It means "a few" or "some". While the singular word enkel can mean "single" (like in een enkel product - a single product), the plural form enkele translates to "a few" or "several".
Why doesn't tweedehands get an -e at the end, since producten is a plural noun?
Tweedehands is an exception to the normal adjective rules. Adjectives that end in -s and come from noun phrases (literally "second hand") are invariable. This means they never get an -e ending, no matter what noun they describe.
The English translation says "a warranty", but there is no een before garantie. Is that normal?
Yes! In Dutch, it is very common to drop the article for general conditions, concepts, or agreements like garantie (warranty), ruzie (an argument), or korting (a discount). You simply say je krijgt garantie.
