"The" is not a Danish word; it is an English definite article. In Danish, the definite article is typically a suffix (e.g., "huset" for "the house").


In this sentence, 'huset' combines 'hus' (house) with the definite article 'et' to form the definite singular form, implicating 'the house'.

Huset er stort.

The house is big.


Here, 'bilerne' is the plural definite form of 'bil' (car) with the definite article 'ne' attached, indicating 'the cars'.

Jeg ser på bilerne.

I am looking at the cars.


In this example, 'stranden' is the definite singular form of 'strand' (beach), combining with the article 'en' from its common gender to mean 'the beach'.

Lad os tage til stranden.

Let's go to the beach.
