Questions & Answers about Därför att festen är rolig.
How does därför att answer the question word varför?
Varför means "why", and därför att is the phrase we use to answer it, meaning "because". While varför asks for a reason, därför att provides the reason.
Can I just use därför by itself here?
If you only use därför, it translates closer to "therefore" or "for that reason". When you want to say "because" to explain why something is happening, you need the full phrase därför att.
Why is it festen and not just fest?
In Swedish, you make a noun definite (saying "the" instead of "a") by adding the article to the end of the word. Since party is en fest, adding the "-en" ending makes it festen (the party).
Does rolig mean "fun" or "funny"?
It can actually mean both depending on the context! Here, it means the party is "fun". If you were talking about a joke or a comedy movie, rolig would mean "funny".
