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)
