Is the ending different for plural but not includinf "the"? Like to say eating apples and fruits or is it translated either way?

The "-ne" postfix makes a plural noun definite, so: "the apples" = "æblerne", "apples" = "æbler".
The ending of a Danish word affects it's pluralization. For example: Æble = Apple Æbler = Apples Æblet = The apple Æblerne = The apples.

In English, "fruit" can be singular or plural. "Fruits" is not incorrect, but is much less commonly used.

i can' understand the system now.the apple=æbleT/the apples=æblerNE.i thought it should be the same in plural,too;so T or N in both of them.
et æble (an apple), æblet (the apple), flere æbler (serveral apples), alle æblerne (all the apples)
