Questions & Answers about Arrangören hyr lokalen.

Why do both arrangören and lokalen end in -en?

Because in Swedish, the definite article the is often added to the end of the noun as a suffix.

• arrangör = organizer
• arrangören = the organizer
• lokal = venue / room / premises
• lokalen = the venue / the room / the premises

Both of these nouns are common-gender (en) nouns, so the definite singular ending is -en.

Why is there no separate word for the in the sentence?

Swedish usually does not use a separate word for the in simple sentences like this. Instead, definiteness is built into the noun itself.

So:

• the organizer = arrangören
• the venue = lokalen

This is one of the biggest structural differences from English.

What is the basic dictionary form of these nouns?

The basic forms are:

• arrangör = organizer
• lokal = venue / room / premises

If you want the indefinite singular forms, you would say:

• en arrangör = an organizer
• en lokal = a venue / a room

So the sentence is using the definite singular forms, not the basic indefinite ones.
