Questions & Answers about Har du sköna strumpor?
Why is there an -a at the end of sköna?
Because it describes a plural noun (strumpor). In Swedish, when an adjective comes right before a plural word, you usually add an -a to the base form of the adjective. The base form here is skön (comfortable).
What is the singular form of strumpor?
The singular is en strumpa (a sock). When an en-word ends in -a, it usually forms its plural by dropping the -a and adding -or.
Why doesn't the sentence start with a word for "Do"?
Swedish doesn't use helper verbs like "do" or "does" to ask questions. Instead, you just swap the verb and the subject. So Du har (You have) becomes Har du? (Have you?).
Can sköna mean something other than "comfortable"?
Yes! With clothes or furniture, it means "comfortable". But the base word skön is very versatile and can also mean "nice", "pleasant", or "relaxing" (like a pleasant day or a nice feeling).
