Questions & Answers about Svaren är alltid enkla.
Why does the definite plural svaren (the answers) end in -en instead of -na?
Svar (answer) is an ett-word that ends in a consonant (ett svar). These words don't change in the indefinite plural (one answer = ett svar, two answers = två svar). To make it definite plural (the answers), you just add -en to the end, making it svaren.
Why is the adjective enkla instead of enkel?
Adjectives in Swedish change to match the noun they describe. Because svaren (the answers) is a plural noun, the adjective takes the plural ending -a.
If we just add -a for the plural, shouldn't it be enkela?
Good spot! Adjectives ending in -el, -er, or -en (like enkel) usually drop their last e when you add a plural ending. The vowel is dropped to make it smoother to pronounce, so enkel becomes enkla.
Is there a rule for where to put alltid (always) in this sentence?
Yes! Small adverbs that affect the whole sentence, like alltid (always) or inte (not), usually go immediately after the first verb in a normal main sentence. That is why it is Svaren är alltid rather than placing alltid before the verb.
