Questions & Answers about Frågorna är svåra.
How did the word fråga become frågorna?
Fråga (question) is an en-word that ends in -a. To make it plural, we drop the -a and add -or, making frågor (questions). To say the questions, we add the definite plural suffix -na to the end, giving us frågorna.
Why does svåra have an -a at the end?
In Swedish, adjectives must match the noun they describe. Because frågorna is plural, the adjective svår (difficult) gets an -a added to the end to become the plural form svåra.
Does every plural noun get -na for its definite (the) form?
Not always! While plural nouns ending in -or, -ar, or -er usually take the -na ending (like frågorna), ett-words that end in a vowel take -a, and ett-words that end in a consonant take -en.
