Time for Lanina’s Grammar!
Words in plural.
In english, a s is just added when it comes to plural.
“Pig - Pigs”
There are some words that are different, like
“Man - Men”
In swedish, it’s a bit more difficult.
Most words get a r when talking about a substantive in plural.
But, most words also end in consonants, how does this work?
It goes [vowel]+r.
What vowel is usually determined by what the last letter in the word is. And some you just have to learn.
-OR
Examples: Kvinna (woman), hylla (shelf), panna (forehead)
Most words in this group ends with an A.
These words will have -or in plural.
So:
En kvinna
Flera kvinnor
En hylla
Två hyllor
Some words that end with consonants are also here, like “ros” (rose).
-AR
All words in this group are words that are “n-words”, so that its “en pingvin” (a pinguin) or “en stol” (a chair) not words like “ett bord” (a table)
Example:
En fågel (a bird)
Flera fåglar (many birds)
En pojke (a boy)
Två pojkar (two boys)
There are some wierd things here too. Some words change more than just putting -ar after them. Words like “dotter” (daughter) becomes “döttrar”.
-ER
Most words in this group are also “n-words”. There are many words here that that end in e-[consonant] like “regel” (rule)
Before you can put -er on them, you have to take the last vowel out. So it becomes “regler” instead of “regeler” (easier to say).
Examples:
Film - Filmer (film, films)
Bok - Böcker (book, books)
Växt - Växter (plant, plants)
There are more groups, but I will write about them later.
Like -R, -N and words that do not change at all.
