"Eplet er en frukt."

Translation: The apple is a fruit.

[Akudo-Kyos]

Why does Eplet not have an et or en before it? Does words not need an article in some cases?

[Luke_5.1991]

• eplet = the apple
• et eple = an apple

[RussJenkins]

I guess "the apple" here refers to apples in general, a common construction in many languages, if a bit un-natural in English. This is not talking about one specific apple is it?

[jean729272]

An apple is a fruit would be better

[DarioPl26]

Are 'eple' and 'eplet' pronounced similarly?

[GenaroCanc1]

Why the word changed if it's at the beginning or in the middle or end of a sentence? “Jeg spiser et epple?” “Eplet er en frukt?” How must I know how and when to change it? Thanks in advance!

It thought I was spelling the whole thing in English because I spelled apple wrong
