The Inuktitut indefinite article

The indefinite article is what we call the words 'a' and 'an' in English. The English indefinite article 'a' does not exist in Inuktitut. Unlike English, a noun on its own can be considered indefinite without the need for a specific word to show this.

Examples

nauttiaq

a flower

angut

a man
