Det finns flera sorters te i den här affären.

Det finns is the standard Swedish way to say there is or there are.

Here, det does not refer to a specific thing. It is a dummy subject, just like there in English existential sentences.

Examples:

• Det finns en bok på bordet. = There is a book on the table.
• Det finns många människor här. = There are many people here.

So Det finns flera sorters te ... simply means that several kinds of tea exist or are available there.

Because Swedish verbs do not change form for singular and plural subjects in the present tense.

So the same verb form is used in both:

• Det finns ett problem. = There is a problem.
• Det finns flera problem. = There are several problems.

English changes between is and are, but Swedish does not do that here.

Flera means several.

It is used before plural nouns and does not change form here:

• flera böcker = several books
• flera affärer = several shops
• flera sorters te = several kinds of tea

So you can think of flera as a straightforward quantity word.

In expressions meaning kinds of or types of, Swedish often uses an -s form:

• en sorts te = one kind of tea
• flera sorters te = several kinds of tea

Here, sorters does not show possession. It is part of a common pattern with category words such as:

• sort
• slag
• typ

You may also see other constructions, such as:

• flera sorter av te = several kinds of tea

But flera sorters te is very common and natural.

Because te is being used as a general category word after sorters.

In English, we also usually say:

• kinds of tea not
• kinds of a tea

The same idea applies in Swedish:

• en sorts ost = a kind of cheese
• två sorters kaffe = two kinds of coffee
• flera sorters te = several kinds of tea

So te here means tea in general, not one specific tea.

Den här affären means this shop or this store.

In standard Swedish, a phrase like this + noun is usually built with:

• den/det/de
• här
• a definite noun

So:

• den här boken = this book
• det här huset = this house
• den här affären = this shop

This structure may feel unusual to an English speaker because Swedish uses both a demonstrative word and a definite noun form.

Because after den här, Swedish normally uses the definite form of the noun.

The forms are:

• en affär = a shop
• affären = the shop
• den här affären = this shop

So even though English says this shop without the, Swedish still marks the noun as definite.

Both can mean this shop, but they differ in style.

• den här affären is the more common everyday form
• denna affär is more formal or written

In ordinary speech, den här affären is usually what learners will hear most often.

Yes. Butik is often a very natural alternative.

Compare:

• den här affären = this shop/store
• den här butiken = this shop/store

Both work, but butik is often a bit more specific for a physical retail shop. Affär can also have broader meanings in other contexts, such as business or deal, so butik sometimes feels more concrete.

Normally, no, not if you mean there are several kinds of tea in this shop.

To express existence or availability, Swedish usually uses det finns:

• Det finns flera sorters te i den här affären.

Det är is usually used for identifying or describing something, not for saying that something exists somewhere.

So in this sentence, det finns is the natural choice.

Yes, absolutely. That sentence is also correct and natural.

Compare:

• Det finns flera sorters te i den här affären.
• I den här affären finns det flera sorters te.

The meaning is basically the same, but the second version puts more focus on in this shop.

This is a good example of Swedish verb-second word order: if you move i den här affären to the front, the verb finns still has to come in the second position.
