"Het oude paard is zwak."

Translation: The old horse is weak.

[jamoncillo_]

Even if true, it is rude to point it out like that

[mturner2891]

Poor horse.

I'm a bit confused. 'paard' is a 'het' but the adjective has a final 'e' this definite article het (Het + adjective with final e + noun)

with indefinite 'een' the adjective has no final 'e'
(Een + adjective without final e + noun)

[El2theK]

Het oude paard - Een oud paard

De oude man - Een oude man

An adjective does not get in "-e" suffix if either it stands alone, or it stands before a(n) "het" word and there is no definite article (or similar).

• "het oude paard" - The adjective does not stand alone.

• "het paard" - "Paard" is a "het" word.

• "het" - There is a definite article, thus the rule doesn't hold. "Oude" gets an "-e".
