Questions & Answers about Föreningen får bidrag genom att värva sponsorer.
Why is föreningen translated as the association rather than just association?
Because föreningen is the definite singular form of förening.
- förening = association / club / society
- föreningen = the association
In Swedish, the definite article is often added as an ending, so instead of a separate word like the, you get -en attached to the noun.
Why isn’t there a separate word for the before föreningen?
In Swedish, definiteness is often built into the noun itself.
So:
- en förening = an association
- föreningen = the association
Unlike English, Swedish usually does not use a separate the in simple cases like this. The ending already does that job.
