Questions & Answers about Hon bor i ett stort hus.
Why do we say "Hon" instead of "Han" or "Hen"?
"Hon" is the Swedish pronoun meaning "she". "Han" means "he", and "Hen" is a gender-neutral option.
What does "bor" mean here, and is it the only way to say "live"?
In this sentence, "bor" means "lives (resides)". Swedish has other verbs like "lever", which generally means "to be alive", but "bor" specifically addresses where a person resides.
Why "i" instead of another preposition?
In Swedish, "i" often translates to "in". It indicates the location where someone lives or where an action takes place. In this case, it shows she lives in a house.
Why does the sentence use "ett hus" instead of "en hus"?
Swedish nouns can be either en-words or ett-words. "Hus" is an ett-word, so the indefinite article is "ett" rather than "en".
What does "stort" mean, and why does it have that extra 't' at the end?
"Stort" is the neuter singular form of "stor" ("big"). Because "hus" is an ett-word, the adjective must match that form, adding the "t" at the end to become "stort".
