â
In Swedish, the common adverbial ending, like English -ly, is -t. These adverbs are identical to ett-word adjectives. vacker â vackert beautifully, glad â glatt happily, snĂ€ll â snĂ€llt kindly
Some adjectives ending in -ig take an adverbial ending in -en or -tvis. verklig â verkligen really, naturlig â naturligtvis naturally
And, of course, many adverbs simply have no particular ending: e.g. ofta, kanske, alltid.
â
Unlike English, adverbs are always placed after the verb in sentences that start with the subject. This is because of the V2 rule â the verb must always come second. Jag springer ofta. I often run. /Du Ă€ter hemma. You eat at home.
Like English, adverbs are placed before adjectives and other adverbs. Huset Àr mycket blÄtt. The house is very blue. /Jag Àr lyckligt gift. I am happily married. /Han Àr aldrig hemma. He is never at home.

Swedish adjectives have different forms depending on whether the noun is definite or indefinite, whether itâs singular or plural, and whether itâs an en or an ett word.
For singular en-words, the suffix is -à (i.e. nothing at all), meaning the adjective is identical to the basic form:en stor fisk, en gul bil, en snÀll hund. For singular ett-words, the suffix -t is added to the basic form: ett stort hus, ett gult bord, ett snÀllt meddelande. For plural words, the ending is always -a, regardless of the gender of the word: stora fiskar/hus, gula bilar/bord, snÀlla hundar/meddelanden.
If the noun is definite, the adjective takes the ending -a in all cases, no matter gender or number. Whatâs important to note, however, is that whenever a definite noun is used together with an adjective, an article is placed in front of the adjective. This article is den for singular en-words, det for singular ett-words, and de for plural words (note that de is pronounced as âdomâ). en stor fisk â den stora fisken; ett gult bord â det gula bordet; snĂ€lla hundar â de snĂ€lla hundarna This article is mandatoryâthe only time it isnât used is in proper names and epithets: Svarta Havet âthe Black Seaâ, Röda Torget âthe Red Squareâ, Vita Huset âthe White Houseâ.
The definite form of the adjective is also used with possessives, even though the noun itself is not definite: min fisk â min stora fisk;ditt bord â ditt gula bord;; Eriks hundar â Eriks snĂ€lla hundar.
In addition to the definite -a form, there is also a definite form ending in -e. This form is used in the singular when the noun being referred to is male (and would be referred to as han as opposed to den):den store mannen, den nye ministern, den kloke pappan.It is common in epithets referring to men:Lille Prinsen âthe Little Princeâ, Alexander den Store âAlexander the Greatâ. It should be noted that this masculine form is optional in the written language, and usually absent in colloquial Swedish, the exception being in names and titles such as those mentioned above.
