"Den lille mauren"

Translation: The small ant

[sivad9]

Why does "den" need to be used to mean "the ant" if the "the" is already implied from the "-en" at the end of maur?

[fveldig]

Because it's needed in front of an adjective. This also means that it can translate to both "the little ant" and "that little ant".

tusen takk!

Why do I hear her say "Lili Marlene"?

[legendory]

Can i also use liten in place of lille?

[Deliciae]

"Liten" would be used with the indefinite form, "en liten maur", but not with the definite form.

Why?
