Questions & Answers about God morgon! Jag är trött.
Why is it god and not gott?
In Swedish, adjectives must match the noun they describe. The word morgon is an en word (common gender), so we use the basic form of the adjective, which is god. If the noun were an ett word (neuter gender), you would use gott.
Does the verb är change depending on who is speaking?
No, which makes Swedish verbs very easy for beginners! The verb är stays exactly the same no matter who the subject is. It is always jag är (I am), du är (you are), han är (he is), and so on.
Does the adjective trött change if a woman says this instead of a man?
No. Swedish adjectives do not change based on masculine or feminine gender. They only change based on whether the noun is an en word, an ett word, or plural. Because jag refers to a single person (which acts as an en word), the word remains trött for everyone. If multiple people were tired, it would change to the plural form: vi är trötta.
