Flyet

Flyet is the definite singular form of the Danish and Norwegian noun fly, which means "airplane." In those languages, flyet literally translates to "the airplane" and is used to refer to a specific aircraft. The form reflects the neuter gender of fly and the definite suffix -et.

In Danish, fly denotes an airplane, and flyet is the form used when the airplane in question is known or being specified. For example, the sentence Flyet er forsinket means "The plane is delayed." The plural definite form is flyene. The suffix -et is a common neuter definite ending in Danish.

In Norwegian Bokmål, flyet serves the same function: "the airplane." An example is Flyet har landet, meaning "The plane has landed." The corresponding plural definite is flyene. Norwegian uses similar patterns for neuter nouns when forming the definite singular.

Across Scandinavian languages, the exact definite form can differ. For instance, Swedish uses flyget as the definite singular for the same noun meaning "the airplane," illustrating a divergence in definite suffixes within the region.
