Vi har inte tillräckligt med bestick, så jag diskar några skedar till.

Because Swedish uses the fixed pattern tillräckligt med + noun to mean enough (of) something.

Here, tillräckligt does not behave like an adjective agreeing with bestick. Instead, it works more like enough in English:

• tillräckligt med bestick = enough cutlery
• tillräckligt med pengar = enough money
• tillräckligt med stolar = enough chairs

So even though bestick refers to several items, tillräckligt stays in this form in this construction.

This is a very common Swedish structure:

• tillräckligt med + noun = enough of / enough

So:

• tillräckligt med bestick = enough cutlery
• tillräckligt med mat = enough food

The med is part of the standard pattern. You usually do not translate it literally as with here.

A related pattern is:

• tillräckligt många + countable plural noun = enough many / enough
• tillräckligt mycket + uncountable noun = enough much / enough

For example:

• tillräckligt många glas = enough glasses
• tillräckligt mycket vatten = enough water

But tillräckligt med bestick is completely natural and very common.

Because bestick is usually treated as a collective or uncountable noun, like cutlery or silverware in English.

So Swedish often says:

• Vi har bestick. = We have cutlery.
• Vi har inte tillräckligt med bestick. = We don’t have enough cutlery.

You would use besticken if you meant a specific set of cutlery already known from the context:

• Var är besticken? = Where is the cutlery? / Where are the utensils?

But here the sentence is talking generally about whether there is enough cutlery available, so no article is needed.

Bestick means cutlery, silverware, or eating utensils.

It usually refers to things like:

• gafflar = forks
• knivar = knives
• skedar = spoons

So bestick is a general category word, while skedar is one specific type within that category.

Because bestick is the general category, while skedar names the specific items the speaker is going to wash.

The idea is:

• We don’t have enough cutlery in general.
• So I’ll wash a few more spoons.

This is natural. The speaker may know that spoons are what’s missing, or may simply be washing some spoons because that will help solve the problem.

Diskar is the present tense of diska, which usually means:

• to wash dishes
• to do the washing-up

In this sentence, jag diskar några skedar till means the speaker is washing some spoons.

Even though English might say wash some more spoons, Swedish often uses diska for this kind of cleaning of kitchen items.

Examples:

• Jag diskar. = I’m doing the dishes.
• Hon diskade tallrikarna. = She washed the plates.

Swedish often uses the present tense for something that is about to happen or that the speaker decides to do right now.

So:

• så jag diskar några skedar till = so I’ll wash a few more spoons

This is very natural in Swedish.

If you said:

• så jag ska diska några skedar till

that would also be possible, but it sounds a little more like a stated plan or intention. The simple present often feels more immediate and conversational.

Here, till means more or additional.

So:

• några skedar till = a few more spoons

This is a very common use of till after a noun phrase:

• en kopp till = one more cup
• två minuter till = two more minutes
• lite kaffe till = a little more coffee

So this till does not mean to here. It means extra / more.

That is the normal word order in Swedish for this meaning.

Swedish commonly says:

• en till = one more
• en bok till = one more book
• några skedar till = a few more spoons

English puts more before the noun, but Swedish often puts till after it.

You can also sometimes use fler:

• några fler skedar

But några skedar till is extremely idiomatic and natural.

Några means some or a few when used with plural countable nouns.

So:

• några skedar = some spoons / a few spoons

It is used with an indefinite plural noun:

• några böcker = some books
• några glas = some glasses

In this sentence, några skedar till means a few more spoons.

Because in a normal Swedish main clause, the negation inte usually comes after the finite verb.

So:

• Vi har inte... = We do not have...

This is standard main-clause word order:

• Jag förstår inte. = I do not understand.
• Hon kommer inte. = She is not coming.

This is an important pattern in Swedish.

Because så here is a coordinating conjunction meaning so, and after coordinating conjunctions, Swedish usually keeps normal main-clause word order:

• så jag diskar...
• men jag går...
• och vi väntar...

So the subject jag comes before the verb diskar.

If another element were deliberately put first for emphasis, then inversion could happen, but in this sentence the neutral order is:

• så jag diskar några skedar till

The noun is:

• en sked = a spoon
• skeden = the spoon
• skedar = spoons
• skedarna = the spoons

So the plural skedar is a normal and useful form to learn. It is not especially irregular, but it does not simply add -s like English.

Yes. That would also be correct:

• Jag diskar några fler skedar.

That means roughly the same thing as:

• Jag diskar några skedar till.

The version with till is especially common in everyday speech. It often sounds very natural when talking about adding a little more of something.

So both work, but några skedar till is a very idiomatic choice here.
