Folksprak/Grammar/Nouns

Plural
Nouns have their basic form and a plural form, which has the suffix -en.


 * en fru (a woman)
 * fruen (women)

Loan words ending in a vowel, have the plural suffix -s.


 * autos (cars)
 * fotos (photos)

Genitiv
The genitive is marked by the suffix -s.


 * en frends hus (a friend's house)

The genitive is applied also in order to form adverbs.


 * naghts (by night)
 * dels (partly)

If the noun already ends in -s, no other -s will be added. Instead, there will be an apostrophe.


 * Thomas' autos (Thomas' cars)
