Questions & Answers about Jeg gemmer filen i den samme mappe på computeren.

Why do filen and computeren end in -en?

Because Danish usually puts the definite article on the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like the.

• en fil = a file
• filen = the file
• en computer = a computer
• computeren = the computer

For many common-gender nouns, the definite ending is -en. For many neuter nouns, it is -et:

• et hus = a house
• huset = the house

So filen and computeren simply mean the file and the computer.

Why is it den samme mappe instead of den samme mappen?
