Questions & Answers about Lagkamraten förklarar turordningen.

Why does lagkamraten end in -en?

Because lagkamraten is the definite singular form of lagkamrat.

• lagkamrat = teammate / team-mate
• lagkamraten = the teammate

In Swedish, the definite article is often added to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word before it.

So:

• en lagkamrat = a teammate
• lagkamraten = the teammate

This -en ending is very common for common-gender nouns.

Is lagkamraten one word? Why not two words like in English?

Yes, it is one word. Swedish very often forms compound nouns as a single word.

Here:

• lag = team
• kamrat = mate / companion / friend
• lagkamrat = teammate

English sometimes writes similar ideas as two words or with a hyphen, but Swedish usually prefers one compound word.

This is extremely common in Swedish, so getting used to long compound nouns is important.
