This is extremely weird since "the" isn't listed under "en" according to the system. I'll look into this. "The" is NOT accepted

"The" isn't a word in swedish, instead it's the end of the world that determines it. PojkeN =the boy FlickaN = the girl
"En" dosn't mean "the". It means one and so does "ett". We don't have a word for the, we change the endings of Words.
The legendary first word of each language. Your journey begins with en flicka.
Mine began with "en man" Just like how my German journey stated with "der Mann," my Dutch journey started with "man," and my Danish journey started with "En mand."
Yeah, yeah, I know. (secretly my first word on the Swedish course was en pojke). For whatever reason, in my mind, learning "girl" is the defining moment for the beginning of a course. I'm not sure why. Looking the circles next to your name, I can see you know where I'm coming from when I say it's different all the time. For me, Italian started with la ragazza, Portuguese started with a menina, Irish started with cailín, and Danish started with pigen. As for you, it seems all the Germanic languages are conspiring against you to teach you "man". Oh well, your journey begins somewhere around that area. Good luck with the Swedish-studying, for everybody :)
Each noun is either en or ett, just like French nouns are either la or le or German nouns are der, das or die. It has to memorized with the noun.
Don't worry to much about getting en/ett right, if you make mistakes it will still be perfectly understandable to us native speakers.
