DET: determiner
Definition
Determiners are words that modify nouns or noun phrases and express the reference of the noun phrase in context. Like adjectives, Danish determiners typically agree with the noun they modify for gender and number, e.g. din dreng “your boy” (common singular), dit barn “your child” (neuter singular), dine døtre “your daughters” (plural).
Examples
- Articles: en “a/an”, et “a/an”, den “the”, det “the”, de “the”
- Possessive determiners: min “my” as in min bil “my car”, deres “their” as in deres holdninger “their opinions”, dit job “your job”
- Negative determiners: ingen “no” as in han har ingen empati “he has no empathy”
