  • Two beautiful paintings.

The adjective doesn't change!

Now, look at the Swedish example:

Adjective: vacker[edit | edit source]

  • Ett vackert hus.

a -t is added because "hus" is an "ett-word"

  • En vacker flicka.

the adjective does not need to be conjugated when describing "en-words"

  • Två vackra tavlor.

we remove -er and add -ra, to show that this word is in plural.

Let's look at another example:

Adjective: stor (eng: big)[edit | edit source]

  • Ett stort bord. (eng: a big table)
  • En stor skola. (eng: a big school)
  • Två stora hästar. (eng: two big horses)

Can you tell the difference now?
