Questions & Answers about Pojkvännen kommer till repetitionen.

Why do both pojkvännen and repetitionen end in -en?

Because both nouns are in the definite singular form.

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

• pojkvän = boyfriend

• pojkvännen = the boyfriend

• repetition = rehearsal
• repetitionen = the rehearsal

So the sentence uses the boyfriend and the rehearsal, not just a boyfriend and a rehearsal.

Why isn’t there a separate word for the, like in English?

In Swedish, the most common way to say the is by adding an ending to the noun.

So instead of:

• the boyfriend
• the rehearsal

Swedish says:

• pojkvännen
• repetitionen

A separate definite word such as den/det/de is usually only added in certain situations, especially with adjectives:

• pojkvännen = the boyfriend
• den snälla pojkvännen = the kind boyfriend

So in your sentence, no separate word is needed.
