Questions & Answers about Hon har flera blommor i trädgården.
Why does the plural word for flowers end in -or (blommor)?
The singular form is en blomma (a flower). In Swedish, most en words that end in -a belong to noun Group 1. To make them plural, you drop the final -a and add -or.
What is the difference between flera and många?
Flera translates to "several", meaning a handful or a few. Många translates to "many", which implies a much larger amount. If she had a massive garden completely full of flowers, you would use många instead.
Why does the sentence use trädgården instead of just trädgård?
Because the English translation says "in the garden". In Swedish, you usually do not use a separate word for "the". Instead, you add a definite suffix to the end of the noun. En trädgård means "a garden", and adding -en to the end makes it trädgården ("the garden").
Is trädgård a compound word?
Yes! It is made up of träd (tree) and gård (yard or estate). So a garden in Swedish is literally a "tree-yard". Spotting these compound words is a great trick for memorizing new vocabulary at this level!
