The Nordaþ language uses determiners in a mostly similar way to English. The main difference is that that they "agree" with what they refer to in terms of both number (singular/plural) and gender (masculine/feminine) and inflect to show placement.

Articles
Definite article
The definite article in Nordaþ is -de*, and attaches directly to the stem word. Any inflections to it are added after the de.
Indefinite article
The indefinite article in Nordaþ is -en*, and is used the same way that -de* is.
Possessive determiners
Unlike Romance languages, Nordaþ does not distinguish between genitive pronouns and genitive adjectives - they are both genitive pronouns in Nordaþ. (See also Nordaþ pronouns.)
