Adjectives with En-Words
When you use an adjective to describe a noun, it needs to agree with that noun's gender. If you are describing an en-word (like bilen or boken), the adjective stays in its base form.
| The car is big. | Bilen är stor. |
| The book is heavy. | Boken är tung. |
Adjectives with Ett-Words
If you are describing an ett-word (like huset or bordet), you must add a -t to the end of the adjective.
For example, stor (big) becomes stort, and tung (heavy) becomes tungt.
| The house is big and very nice. | Huset är stort och mycket fint. |
| The table is heavy. | Bordet är tungt. |
Describing "It"
When you use det as an abstract "it" to describe a general situation or the weather (like "It is cold!"), the adjective also takes the -t ending. This is because the pronoun det acts exactly like an ett-word.
| It is cold here! | Det är kallt här! |
| We play football and it is very fun. | Vi spelar fotboll och det är mycket roligt. |
