Questions & Answers about Jag köper många skor.
Why is the plural of en sko formed by adding just -r?
Because sko ends in a vowel, it belongs to Group 3 of Swedish nouns. To make these nouns plural, you simply add -r to the end, giving us skor (shoes).
How can I remember if sko is an en word or an ett word?
It is en sko. A great trick for your current level is that almost all Swedish nouns that end in a vowel and take an -r in the plural (Group 3 nouns) are en words.
Why use många instead of mycket here?
Många translates to 'many' and is used for things you can count one by one, like skor. You use mycket ('much' or 'a lot') for uncountable things, like water or time.
Does Jag köper mean 'I buy' or 'I am buying'?
It means both! Swedish does not have a separate continuous tense like English does with 'am buying'. The present tense verb köper covers both a general habit and an action happening right now.
