Questions & Answers about Hon köper många blommor idag.
Why do we use många instead of mycket here?
Blommor (flowers) are things you can count, so we use många (many). We use mycket (much) for uncountable things like water, coffee, or time.
Why doesn't the Swedish sentence have a word for "is" to say "is buying"?
Swedish does not have a separate "-ing" tense like English does. The single present tense verb köper translates to both "buys" and "is buying" depending on the context.
How is the plural word blommor formed?
The singular form is en blomma (a flower). Because it is an en-word ending in -a, we drop the -a and add -or to make the plural blommor.
Is it also correct to write idag as two words?
Yes! Both idag and i dag are correct. Writing it as one word is very common in modern Swedish, but you will see both.
