Questions & Answers about Makkeren bruger strategien; spillekortet i udvidelsen giver vinderen pointet.

Why do so many nouns end in -en or -et in this sentence?

Because Danish usually marks the by attaching it to the end of the noun.

So in this sentence:

• makkeren = the partner / the teammate
• strategien = the strategy
• spillekortet = the playing card
• udvidelsen = the expansion
• vinderen = the winner
• pointet = the point

This is one of the biggest differences from English. Instead of a separate word like the, Danish often uses a suffix.

How do I know when the definite ending is -en and when it is -et?
