Ni artikali: Na, Ni et Un
Na/Ni: The definite articles "Na" and "Ni" derive from the Irish articles “An” (sgl.) and “Na” (pl.). In Europún “Na” means “the” (sgl.) and “Ni” “the” (pl.). There is no distinction between f, m and n, i.e. na fem – the woman, ni femi – the women, na patar – the father, ni patari – the fathers, na strat – the street and ni strati – the streets.
Un: The indefinite article is “Un” and there is no distinction between f, m and n, i.e. un fem – a (one) woman, un patar – a (one) father and un strat – a (one) street.

Pronounciation
Europún allows the speaker to pronounce a word in a way that is familiar to her/his own language (but to keep a unique spelling at the same time), i.e. Na faz – The face:
English: Na feıs
German: Na fa∫
French: Na fas
C, K et Q
C is the K in the beginning: con-vil-ca’ut!
K is the K in the middle: n’akt (except Genetiv plural, i.e. ni pagi d’buqi)
Q is the K in the end: na Iraq
Reason: The “K” sound is not equally represented in the European languages. Therefore a combination is needed to reflect the varieties of the “K” sound so different European language groups find it easier to accept Europún spelling.
Ni jokari - The jokers
“Z”
Pronounced as “SH” (IPA "∫") it allows the speaker to use it as a soft “SH”, “TS” or even “S” in all its variety, i.e. na zabad, na zatox, na danz.
“Ú”
Pronounced as “EE” (IPA "I:") it is replacing “-Y” in English, “-IE” in German and French, i.e. n’apatú, na farmazú.
„X“
Pronounced as „CH“ (IPA "X") as in „Loch“ it allows the speaker to change the sound „CH“ to „K“ or “KS”, i.e. na monarxú, na export/eksport, na taxi/taksi (ni taxi/taksi pl.):
English: The monarchy, the export, the taxi
German: Die Monarchie, der Export, das Taxi
French: La monarchie, l’export, le taxi
