Questions & Answers about Alt er klart til spillekvelden, bortsett fra at spillbrettet mangler.
Why is it alt and not alle?
Alt means everything or all of it and is grammatically singular.
Use alle for plural nouns or plural people/things:
- alle spillene = all the games
- alle er klare = everyone is ready
So Alt er klart means Everything is ready.
Why is it klart and not klar?
Because alt is grammatically neuter singular, and the adjective has to agree with it.
The adjective klar changes like this:
- klar for common gender singular
- klart for neuter singular
- klare for plural / definite contexts
So:
- Bilen er klar = The car is ready
- Huset er klart = The house is ready
- Alt er klart = Everything is ready
