Questions & Answers about Fallet är tydligt.

Why does fallet end in -et?

Because fall is a neuter noun in Swedish, and -et is the usual definite singular ending for many neuter nouns.

So:

• ett fall = a case / a fall
• fallet = the case / the fall

In this sentence, fallet is definite, so it means the case rather than a case.

What gender is fall, and how can I tell?

Fall is an ett-word, meaning it has neuter gender.

You can see that from its indefinite form:

• ett fall = a case

This matters because Swedish adjectives often change form depending on whether the noun is common gender, neuter, or plural.
