Determiner
d' f or n
Reduced form of déi
Reduced form of dat
Usage notes
This article form is commonly not pronounced between /t/ and another consonant, and occasionally otherwise when the combination of preceding and following consonants creates an impossible cluster. Only rarely is this muteness avoided by using the full form of the article. Rather, the lack of an in definite article becomes a definite article by default. Occasional ambiguities, particularly in the plural, are tolerated.
