"The banana is our only food."

[sarabkr]

I thought 'onze' was used for 'de' words? Why is 'ons' used here when 'banaan' is a 'de' word?

[Simius]

As a noun, "eten" is a het-word. So "het eten" becomes "ons eten". The form is unrelated to the banana.

[Ahti]

Mhm. Why is it enige though?

[Simius]

After a possessive (like "onze") adjectives also get the ending -e, just like after a definite article.

hello! i translated with "enkele eten" and it was not accepted. can anyone explain me why? bedankt!

[Benatduo]

enkele means some or a few!

[rilianxi]

why not "enkel eten"? there was another sentence where "enkel" meant "one".
"geen enkel kind hoort het schaap".

"De banaan is ons alleen eten" was not correkct. Can somebody tell me why?

[Simius]

"Alleen" is not an adjective and cannot be used as such.
