Questions & Answers about Vi har sex frågor.
Does the word sex just mean the number six here?
Yes! In Swedish, the number six is spelled sex. It is pronounced very similarly to the English word, though the Swedish vowel is slightly shorter and crisper.
Why does the word for questions end in -or?
The singular word for a question is en fråga. In Swedish, when a noun ends in -a, you usually make it plural by dropping the -a and adding -or. That gives us frågor (questions).
Does the verb har change if the subject is singular, like I or he?
No, Swedish verbs are very straightforward because they do not change based on who is doing the action. It is always har (have or has) in the present tense, whether you say jag har (I have), han har (he has), or vi har (we have).
Is the word order here the same as in English?
Yes, for basic statements like this, Swedish uses the exact same Subject-Verb-Object word order as English. The subject Vi comes first, followed by the verb har, and then the object sex frågor.
