Still don't know the difference between en and ett

[Zmrzlina]

It has to be memorized with each word.

[MaxyWaxy02]

En is a, ett is an. En is used most of the time, while Ett is used before a word starting with a vowel (a e i o u)

[Jijo_Ulmo]

Not always "ett" before a word with an vowel en affär = a shop, en ek= an oak, en insekt = an insect, en olycka = an accident, en ursäkt= an apology.

[Quetie_3.789]

From what I've seen, ett is used with objects and en is for people

Pojke vs. Kille, and Flicka vs. Tjej? Either dialects or for different names for one another; an explanation for this, snälla?

[Arnauti]

Late answer but maybe someone else wonders as well. pojke and flicka are younger while kille and tjej are a little bit more informal; can be older; and can mean boyfriend/girlfriend. For a child, either works, but it's old-fashioned to talk about a 20-something as en flicka or en pojke.
