et

et

"Et" is the Norwegian neuter singular indefinite article, meaning "a" or "an" in English.

Here, 'et' is the indefinite article for neuter gender nouns, matching the word 'tre' (tree), which is neuter.

Jeg ser et tre.

I see a tree.

In this sentence, 'et' functions as the indefinite article for the neuter noun 'brev' (letter).

Jeg skriver et brev.

I am writing a letter.

'Et' is used here as an indefinite article aligning with the neuter noun 'spørsmål' (question).

Et spørsmål sprettet opp i tankene mine.

A question popped up in my mind.
