Swedish Skill:Food

Food is the fourth skill (assuming read left to right) in the language tree for Swedish. It has five lessons which introduce common words related to food.

Grammar Notes[]

Swedish uses two separate indefinite articles, en and ett, both of which are equivalent to a or an in English. The definite form is however very different from English and is contructed by adding an ending to a word: -en is added to en-words and -et is added to ett-words. So sked (spoon) becomes skeden (the spoon) and glas (glass) becomes glaset (the glass). If a word ends with a vowel, typically the "e" is dropped and just the end consonants "n" or "t" are added. There are however exceptions such as teet.
