Learn Hardcore Swedish: Jag gillar snön.

It translates as "I like the snow." Here, Jag means I, gillar means like, and snön stands for the snow with a definite article attached.

Why is snön written with an -n at the end instead of just snö?

In Swedish, the definite article is usually expressed as a suffix attached to the noun. Snö means snow in general, and when you add the -n, it becomes snön, meaning the snow. This definite form is a common feature in Swedish grammar.

How does the verb gillar function in this sentence regarding subject-verb agreement?

The verb gillar is in the present tense and is used with the subject Jag (I). In Swedish, the present tense form of the verb often remains the same regardless of the subject, so gillar is used for I like, you like, etc., without additional conjugation changes.

Is the definite suffix formation (like adding -n to snö) consistent across other Swedish nouns?

Yes, many Swedish nouns adopt definite forms by adding a suffix, but the exact ending can vary based on gender and word type. For common gender nouns like snö, you add -n (making it snön). Other nouns might take -en, -et, or different endings. The pattern depends on the particular noun and its grammatical classification.
