## Swedish
### Etymology 1

From the plural of Old Norse hinn (demonstrative pronoun), suffixed to the end of the noun stem. Usually corresponds to Danish, Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk -ne.

#### Alternative forms

* -a (used for fourth-declension nouns)
* -en (used for fifth-declension nouns not ending in -are)
* -ne (archaic, masculine)

#### Suffix

-na
* Marker of definiteness on nouns in the plural (except for nouns of the fourth and some of the fifth declension).
    ‎stolar (“chairs”) + ‎-na → ‎stolarna (“the chairs”)
    ‎lärare (“teachers”) + ‎-na → ‎lärarna (“the teachers”)

##### Usage notes

* In earlier Swedish, the suffix -na was only used for feminine nouns, while -ne was used for masculine nouns, thus "stenarne" (definite of stenar) and "kvinnorna" (definite of kvinnor) were used alongside each other. In attempts to try to produce archaic language, the suffix is sometimes changed to -ne in all positions, producing historically incorrect forms like "kvinnorne".

### Etymology 2

From Old Norse -na, from Proto-Germanic *-naną.

#### Suffix

-na
* -en; Used with some adjectives or verbal stems to form inchoative verbs
    ‎trött (“tired”) + ‎-na → ‎tröttna (“to tiren, become tired”)

##### Usage notes
###### Inchoative verb

    The suffix -na may be analysed as two morphemes (-n (inchoative verb stem) + -a (infinitive)). Traditionally the a's near the ends of the Swedish first declension verb forms have been regarded as part of the suffixes, but nowadays it is more common to see it described as part of the stems of these verbs, since all endings not beginning with an a are extinct or considered heavily archaic.
