Questions & Answers about Soppan tinar i kylskåpet.
Why is it soppan and not soppa?
Because -n/-an is the definite ending in Swedish.
- soppa = soup
- soppan = the soup
So soppan means the soup, not just soup in general.
Why is there no separate word for the?
In Swedish, the is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word.
So:
- soppan = the soup
- kylskåpet = the fridge
This is very normal in Swedish. English uses a separate article; Swedish often uses a suffix.
