Qualitative Pronouns: sådan, sådant, sådana
To talk about a specific type or kind of thing, use the qualitative pronoun sådan (such / that kind of). Like adjectives, it must agree with the gender and number of the noun it describes.
| Form | Used with | English |
|---|---|---|
| sådan | en words | such |
| sådant | ett words | such |
| sådana | Plurals | such |
Notice that in Swedish, when talking about singular nouns, the indefinite article (en or ett) usually comes before the pronoun (e.g., en sådan kappa), whereas in English we say "such a coat".
| I want to buy such a coat. | Jag vill köpa en sådan kappa. |
| We do not sell such fabric here. | Vi säljer inte sådant tyg här. |
| Nobody buys such clothes! | Ingen köper sådana kläder! |
Expressing Taste and Style
When talking about fashion, you will naturally want to discuss the fit, style, and fabrics. Use words like stil (style), smak (taste), design (design), and material (material) to express your preferences.
| I do not like the style, but he has good taste. | Jag tycker inte om stilen, men han har bra smak. |
| I like the design, but not the material. | Jag tycker om designen, men inte materialet. |
You can combine these fashion terms with qualitative pronouns to be very specific about what you do and don't like.
| Such fashion is not for me. | Sådant mode är inte för mig. |
| Such a scarf suits my taste. | En sådan halsduk passar min smak. |
