Questions & Answers about Fredag är en fantastisk dag!
Why is Fredag capitalized here? Do we always capitalize days of the week in Swedish?
No, days of the week like fredag are normally written with lowercase letters in Swedish. It is only capitalized here because it is the very first word of the sentence.
Why is the adjective fantastisk used here instead of fantastiskt?
Adjectives in Swedish change their ending depending on the noun they describe. Because dag is an en-word (it uses the article en), the adjective stays in its basic form. If it were describing an ett-word like äpple (apple), you would add a -t at the end to make it ett fantastiskt äpple.
Does fredag mean free day?
It looks and sounds a bit like it, but no! Just like in English, fredag is named after the Norse goddess Frigg or Freyja. If you want to say you have a free day or a day off, the common phrase to use is en ledig dag.
