Questions & Answers about Trädet i trädgården är mycket stort.
Why is it stort with a "t" at the end instead of just stor?
Stort describes the tree (trädet), which is an "ett" word. In Swedish, adjectives get a -t added to the end when they describe an "ett" word.
How do trädet and trädgården get their "the" meaning without a separate word?
In Swedish, "the" is usually attached to the end of the noun. Träd is an "ett" word, so it gets -et to become trädet (the tree). Trädgård is an "en" word, so it gets -en to become trädgården (the garden).
Are the words for tree (trädet) and garden (trädgården) related?
Yes! The base word for garden is trädgård, which is a compound made of träd (tree) and gård (yard or farm). A garden is literally a "tree-yard".
I thought mycket meant "much". Why does it mean "very" here?
It translates to both depending on how you use it! When placed right before an adjective like stort (big), mycket acts as "very". When talking about amounts, it means "much" or "a lot".
