"En bok och en tidning"

Translation: A book and a newspaper

[kanala]

It seems like 'och' turns into 'oh' here.. is that voice error, or does och blend into the next word/is it said more softly, sometimes?

[ann3ann3]

I was wondering this myself! Hopefully someone can explain

[Shivaadh]

I think it's correct, cos the same pronunciation was used in other, earlier lessons.

ett and en are "a" ?

[ThePet081]

yes, but also "an" and "one"

How can one know if en means one or the?

[alexinIreland]

When used before the noun, en means a (and, subsequently, one). When it is placed after the noun, like in boken and tidningen, en makes the noun definite, so there it means the. (Same goes for et(t)). There's a good explanation of all this in the first few skills of the tree (Basics 1, Basics 2, the Definites skill)
