"A knife and a fork"

Translation: En kniv og en gaffel

[Bobesch1]

Is : "en kniv og ei gaffel" also correct?

[Deliciae]

No, "gaffel" can only be masculine.

While all feminine nouns have a masculine option, all masculine nouns do not have a feminine counterpart. You can use this dictionary to check the genders whenever you're in doubt. :)

[BrendanWar19]

Most English speakers would say "A knife and fork". Would that be "en kniv og gaffel" or is it always necessary to put in the indefinite article?

[trudeam]

You'd use the indefinite article with both or none of them: en kniv og en gaffel - or - kniv og gaffel

[toshiibae]

How do you say "can i have a knife and fork"

[trudeam]

You may say "Kan jeg få kniv og gaffel?" but the more polite version is "Kan du gi meg kniv og gaffel?" (Can you give me a knife and fork?) or the same with "en kniv og en gaffel". If you want to be really polite you can say: "Kan du være så snill og gi meg kniv og gaffel? " (Can you give me a knife and fork, please.)
