Featured answer

@papapati "en man" is "a man" while "mannen" is "the man".

edit: "man" can also be "one" or "you". Example:

När man joggar blir man svettig (when you jog, you get sweaty/when one jogs, one gets sweaty).

@CatMama Could you please write how do I say then
a flower and the flower
a woman and the woman
a banana and the banana

I just want to see the rule when changing from "a" to "the"

@papapati en blomma - blomman
en kvinna - kvinnan
en banan - bananen

This only applies to nouns that have the n-gender. When it's t-gender it looks like this:

ett barn - barnet (a child - the child)
ett bord - bordet (a table - the table)

About 70% of swedish nouns are n-gender, so if you are unsure, write the n-gender. :)
