This is a pretty specific question about grammar schematics. I’m a pretty new Danish learner, and I noticed that some of the nouns have double letters in their definitive forms (-en or -et at the end) but not in their indefinite forms (en or et before the noun). For example, et spil and spillet. I noticed that this is similar to how there’s double letters in some forms of English verbs (i.e. running), and was wondering if there was similarly a way to tell when vs when not to use a double letter, or if there’s just a few irregularities that I’ll have to learn.

Thanks and much appreciated!
