Questions & Answers about Vilken typ passar dig?
Why is it vilken and not vad?
Vilken is used when you are asking someone to choose from a noun: which type.
Vad usually means what in a more general sense.
So:
- Vilken typ passar dig? = Which type suits you?
- Vad passar dig? = What suits you?
Because typ is actually stated in the sentence, vilken is the natural choice.
Why is it vilken and not vilket or vilka?
That depends on the gender and number of the noun.
- vilken → for en-words in singular
- vilket → for ett-words in singular
- vilka → for plural
Typ is an en-word: en typ.
So the correct form is vilken typ.
Compare:
- Vilken bok...? because bok is an en-word
- Vilket hus...? because hus is an ett-word
- Vilka skor...? because skor is plural
