Singular adjectives (stor, stort)

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.

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.

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.
