1. the(definite article)

The definite suffix is added to a noun to make it definite, but this is not nearly as common asEnglishthe, and is never done in the earliest texts, including most poetry, legal texts and runic inscriptions. There are four rules for how to apply the definite suffix to a given noun.

1. There must beagreement between the suffix and the noun, in gender, case and number.
2. The suffixed article will lose its-i- after the short closing vowels-a,-i, and-u. Note that, usually, contraction will happens also after a long closing vowel, but not if it leaves the wordmonosyllabic.
