Questions & Answers about Dagarna är varma och svaren är enkla.
How do we get the word dagarna?
The base word is en dag (a day). The plural is dagar (days). Because it is an en-word, we add the suffix -na to the plural form to mean "the" days, resulting in dagarna.
Why does svaren use the suffix -en instead of -na for "the"?
svar is an ett-word ending in a consonant. For these words, the singular and plural are exactly the same (ett svar, flera svar). To make this type of word definite plural ("the answers"), we add the suffix -en to get svaren.
Why do the adjectives varma and enkla end in -a?
Adjectives need to match the noun they describe. Because dagarna and svaren are plural, the adjectives take their plural form, which is usually made by adding an -a to the end of the base words varm and enkel.
If the base word for simple is enkel, why isn't the plural enkela?
When a Swedish adjective ends in -el, -er, or -en (like enkel), we drop the vowel before the final consonant when adding the plural -a. This makes the word easier to say, so enkel becomes enkla.
