Adjectives in Swedish

Hej everybody,

In today's lesson you will learn some common ¨ADJECTIVES¨ in Swedish.

Feel free to edit this page by adding new words and expressions !

Alert: Before you take this lesson on Swedish adjectives, make sure you have already taken the lesson on Swedish nouns (Ett or En)! 📚

In Swedish, adjectives are conjugated depending on the noun that is being described, just like in English. To further enhance your understanding of Swedish grammar, you can also explore other related topics such as Swedish plural nouns, the comprehensive guide to Swedish Grammar, and the concept of Negation in Swedish. Happy learning! 🇸🇪✨

Adjective: beautiful[edit | edit source]

  • A beautiful house.
  • A beautiful girl.
  • 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?
