artikler

Artikler is a plural noun used in Danish and Norwegian to refer to articles. The term covers several related meanings depending on context: pieces of writing in journalism, items or goods in catalogs or inventories, and, in linguistic descriptions, the grammatical determiners known as articles. The exact use and form can vary by language.

In journalism and publishing, artikler denote individual written works published in newspapers, magazines, or online outlets. These can include news reports, features, opinion pieces, reviews, and investigative articles. An artikkel is typically authored, dated, and attributed to a publication, and it may be organized by topic or section. The term is common in newsroom and editorial contexts, where artikler are indexed, archived, and cited as sources.

In a linguistic or grammatical sense, artikler can refer to the set of determiners that mark definiteness or indefiniteness in a language. Languages that employ articles often distinguish definite and indefinite forms, either as separate words (the, a/an) or as suffixes attached to nouns. In Scandinavian languages, for example, articles may appear as separate words or as definite suffixes, and the singular form of the word for “article” parallels the grammar terminology used by linguists.

In retail, catalogs, and databases, artikler also denote individual items or products listed for sale or reference. This usage is common in inventory systems, e-commerce platforms, and library catalogs.
