Questions & Answers about Januari och februari är kalla.
Why is Januari capitalized but februari isn't?
In Swedish, the names of days and months are normally written with a lowercase letter. Januari is only capitalized here because it is the very first word of the sentence.
Why does the word for cold (kalla) have an -a at the end?
Swedish adjectives change depending on what they describe. Because we are talking about two months together (January and February), the subject is plural. To make the adjective kall plural, you add an -a to the end.
Does the verb är mean both "is" and "are"?
Yes! Unlike English, Swedish verbs do not change depending on who or what is doing the action. Whether you are talking about one thing ("January is") or multiple things ("January and February are"), the verb remains exactly the same: är.
