4.7 Irregular Plurals, continued

2) We have already learned that most one-syllable et-nouns do not add -er in the indefinite plural.

For example:  et fjell → mange fjell.
(NB!  There is one important exception to this rule:  et sted —> mange steder)

A few en/ei-nouns work the same way–with no ending in the indefinite plural:

 

en ting mange ting (thing)
en/ei mil mange mil (Norwegian mile)
en ski mange ski (ski)
en/ei mus mange mus (mouse)
en feil mange feil (error, mistake)
en/et kilo mange kilo (kilogram)
en meter mange meter (meter)
en mygg mange mygg (mosquito)
en sko mange sko (shoe)
en kjeks mange kjeks (cracker)
