Questions & Answers about Vi planerar veckomenyn.

Why is veckomenyn written as one word?

Because Swedish usually forms compound nouns as a single word.

Here, veckomenyn is made from:

• vecko- = week / weekly
• meny = menu

So veckomeny means weekly menu, and veckomenyn means the weekly menu.

This is very common in Swedish. Where English often uses two words, Swedish often prefers one compound word.

Why is there no separate word for the?

In Swedish, the is often expressed by adding an ending to the noun instead of using a separate word.

• en meny = a menu
• menyn = the menu

So:

• veckomeny = weekly menu
• veckomenyn = the weekly menu

The -n at the end marks the definite form. Since meny is an en-word, its definite singular form is menyn.
