Step 3 : The indefinite article in Cornish

The indefinite article is what we call the word a in English. The indefinite article is used with nouns in English (a book, a chair, a door etc.). To get started in Cornish, pick just 3 important nouns. We suggest you learn the nouns lyver, kador and daras (book, chair, door). Once you have learned these nouns, you can then learn how to use each noun with the indefinite article. This is easy in Cornish, because in Cornish, there is no indefinite article. So the word lyver can mean book or a book, the word kador can mean chair or a chair and the word daras can mean door or a door. You can scroll to the top of this page to see a short lesson about the indefinite article in Cornish including useful examples. Once you have learned to use the indefinite article with the Cornish nouns lyver, kador and daras, you're ready to move on to Step 4 (the definite article in Cornish).
