Indefinite articles and -ar verbs (en, ett)

"A" and "an": en and ett

Last lesson the article was welded to the end. The indefinite one is a separate word in front, and the noun goes back to its bare form:

• hunden → en hund
• familjen → en familj
• barnet → ett barn

So the ending you already know tells you which to use. This is why Swedes call them en-words and ett-words.
