"It is a bear."

Translation: Det er en bjørn.

[R-Rustad]

I'm a bit confused here. If bjørn is taking "en" in this sentence, why is "Det" being used instead of "Den"?

[Luke_5.1991]

"It," when used by itself at the beginning of a sentence, can always be "Det," regardless of the gender of the noun that follows. "Den" must be a masculine/feminine noun.

When to use "de" "det" and "den".

I'm never gonna learn how to pronounce the word bjørn, or the Norwegian alphabet.

How can i type the Norwegian letters?

Fun fact: Bjørn is also a boy's name in Norwegian. Yes you can name your son "Bear".
