Usage notes

In Flanders this is commonly used as the dialectal form of een#Dutch|een. It is only used for masculine words, while een is still used for feminine and neuter words.

The form nen is used in the same place as "an" is used in English; before a vowel. The same happens for the definite article de#Dutch|de which becomes den#Dutch|den.

Pronunciation


Pronoun

{{infl|fi|pronoun|plural||stem|ne|nii-}}

  1. In the Context of they. Plural of the pronoun se#Finnish|se (“it”).
  2. When used like a definite article, “the” or “those”.
  3. : Tässä ne kirjat nyt ovat. — “Here are the books now.”
  4. {{context|lang=fi|colloquial|dialectal|of people}} they (in literary standard: he#Finnish|he).


Inflection

The case suffixes are mostly regular (except inessive and elative singular). Abessive is never used in singular and extremely seldom in plural. Comitative niin is more or less a theoretical construction, since it has developed into an adverb, and its current meaning cannot be derived from ne.
