[edit] Derived terms
[edit] Usage notes
- De denotes the going out, departure, removal, or separating of an object from any fixed point (it occupies a middle place between ab (“‘away from’”) which denotes a mere external departure, and ex (“‘out of’”) which signifies from the interior of a thing. Hence verbs compounded with de are constructed not only with de, but quite as frequently with ab and ex; and, on the other hand, those compounded with ab and ex often have the terminus a quo indicated by de).

de (third person plural nominative, dative and accusative dem, genitive deras, reflexive sig)
[edit] Article
de
- the, a definite article used in the beginning of noun phrases containing attributive adjectives and nouns in the plural. This article is used together with the definite suffix of the noun to indicate the definiteness of the noun phrase.
- de gröna bilarna
- the green cars
- de gröna bilarna
[edit] Usage notes
The same type of noun phrases with singular nouns instead use den (common gender) or det (neuter) for this function. Some definite noun phrase with attributive adjectives may skip these preceding articles. This is the case especially for many lexicalized noun phrases and also for many noun phrases working as proper names of organisations, geographical places, TV shows, events and similar.
- Brittiska öarna
- The British Isles
While the personal pronoun de has an object form and a genitive form, the definite article de is unaffected by the syntactic role of the noun phrase.
