What is an indefinite article?

An indefinite article is a type of article used in languages to refer to non-specific items or objects within a given context. Unlike definite articles, which indicate specificity, indefinite articles denote a more general or unidentified noun. In English, indefinite articles include "a" and "an."

In French, indefinite articles are "un" for masculine nouns and "une" for feminine nouns, for example, "un chien" (a dog) and "une table" (a table).

In Spanish, the indefinite articles are "un" for masculine nouns "una" for feminine nouns, such as "un libro" (a book) and "una casa" (a house).

In German, the indefinite articles are "ein" for masculine and neuter nouns and "eine" for feminine nouns, for instance, "ein Mann" (a man) and "eine Frau" (a woman).

These articles serve to introduce nouns in a non-specific way and can vary based on gender, number, or case, depending on the language.
