Questions & Answers about Många studenter har hundra frågor.
Why do we use många here instead of mycket?
Both words translate to 'a lot' or 'many/much', but you must use många for things you can count one by one, like studenter (students) or frågor (questions). You use mycket for uncountable things like water or time.
Why does the sentence just say hundra instead of 'en hundra' for 'a hundred'?
In Swedish, you normally leave out the word for 'a' or 'one' when talking about exactly one hundred or one thousand. You simply say hundra or tusen.
How do the plural endings work for studenter and frågor?
Swedish has a few different ways to make words plural. The singular words are en student and en fråga. Words ending in a consonant often add -er to become plural (studenter). For 'en' words that end in -a, the -a changes to -or in the plural (frågor).
Is the word order exactly the same as in English here?
Yes! Just like English, basic Swedish statements usually follow a Subject-Verb-Object pattern. Here we have the doer (Många studenter), the action word (har), and the thing they have (hundra frågor).
