Questions & Answers about De säljer ljusa kläder idag.
Why is there an "-a" on the end of ljusa?
Because it is describing kläder (clothes), which is a plural word. When an adjective describes a plural noun, we add an -a to the end of its base form. So, the base word ljus (light) becomes ljusa.
Is kläder always plural?
Yes! Just like the English word "clothes", kläder is a plural word without a direct singular form. Because it is plural, any adjective describing it will always need that plural -a ending.
Where is the word for "are" in this sentence?
Swedish doesn't use a separate word for "are" when talking about an ongoing action. The single present tense verb säljer translates to both "sell" and "are selling".
How should I pronounce the word De?
Even though it is spelled De, it is almost always pronounced as "dom" in everyday spoken Swedish.
