Questions & Answers about Vattnet är inte kallt.
Why does inte come after the verb är?
In simple Swedish sentences, the negation word inte (not) always goes right after the verb. Since är is our verb here, inte follows it directly.
Why is the word for cold spelled kallt here instead of just kall?
In Swedish, adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. Since vatten is an ett-word, we have to add a -t to the end of the adjective, making it kallt.
How does the word vatten (water) become vattnet (the water)?
Since vatten is an ett-word, you normally add -et to the end for the definite form (the water). But because the word already ends in -en, it drops the last e to make it easier to say, giving us vattnet.
