There are three articles in Dutch, two Definite article De and het, one Indefinite article een。 Since nouns in Dutch are also yin and yang neutral, and this part of speech is reflected by the preceding article, we learn Dutch You need to memorize the preceding article and the following noun together to make it a complete and correct word. Fortunately, in Dutch, no matter whether the noun is feminine or masculine, de is added before it, while all neutral nouns are added with het.
In addition, there are two points that need special attention:
First, after all nouns are plural, their articles use de;
Second, ALL SINGULAR DIMINUT Ⅳ ESAREHET-WORDS: altitude ` tafel '(table) isade word (decafel), the diminutive is`hettafeltje',etc.
(This rule is not very clear and needs to be understood in the future. Does it mean that the article of all singular nouns with suffix should use het, while the first principle should be followed when the suffix nouns become plural)
The use of the indefinite article een is basically the same as that of a in English, and there is no other form.
