Meanwhile Danish turns the indefinite article into a definite suffix. Like:

A house: "et hus"
The house: "huset"
Houses: "huse"
The houses: "husene"

Don't most (if not all) Nordic languages do that?

Scandinavian, yes, nordic, well, I don't think they do it in Finnish? Not sure about Icelandic.

Fair. I meant Scandinavian and not Finno-Scandic in my comment. Finnish isn't even in the same language family, so I don't claim to know anything about it

English can be confusing too-- just look how many homophones we have! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNTM9iM1eVw
