Questions & Answers about Elden värmer rummet.

Why is it elden and not eld?

Elden is the definite singular form of eld, which means fire.

• eld = a fire
• elden = the fire

In Swedish, the definite article is usually added to the end of the noun, instead of being a separate word like the in English.

So:

• eld → elden
• rum → rummet

That is why the sentence says Elden värmer rummet = The fire warms the room.

Why is it rummet and not just rum?

For the same reason: rummet is the definite form of rum.

• ett rum = a room
• rummet = the room

The noun rum is a neuter noun (an ett-word), so the definite singular ending is -et:

• ett rum
• rummet

So rummet means the room, not just room.
