Questions & Answers about Vädret är varmt i mars och april.
Why does the sentence use vädret instead of a separate word for "the"?
In Swedish, "the" is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word. The base word is väder (weather). Because it is an "ett" word, we add -et to the end to make it vädret (the weather).
Why is there a "t" at the end of varmt?
Adjectives in Swedish change their ending to match the noun they describe. Since väder is an "ett" word, the adjective varm (warm) needs a -t at the end to match it, becoming varmt.
Do we always use i before months, like in English?
Yes! To say "in" a specific month, Swedish uses the preposition i, just like English. So "in March" is i mars.
Why aren't mars and april capitalized?
Unlike English, Swedish does not capitalize the names of months, days of the week, or languages, unless they appear at the very beginning of a sentence.
