Questions & Answers about Huset är stort och mycket fint.
Why do stort and fint end in a -t?
They describe huset (the house), which is an ett-word (ett hus). In Swedish, when an adjective describes an ett-word, you add a -t to the base form of the adjective. The base forms here are stor (big) and fin (nice).
Do I have to add -t to every adjective in the sentence?
Yes! Because both adjectives describe the same ett-word (huset), they both need to match it. If the sentence were about an en-word instead, like bilen (the car), you would use the base forms without the -t: Bilen är stor och mycket fin.
I know hus means "house". Why is it written as huset here?
In Swedish, the word for "the" is added to the end of the noun rather than being a separate word in front of it. Since "a house" is ett hus, you add -et to the end to get huset (the house).
Doesn't mycket usually mean "much" or "a lot"?
It can mean "much", but when you put mycket directly in front of an adjective like fint (nice), it translates to "very".
