Questions & Answers about Vi säljer inte sådant tyg här.
Why is the word for "such" spelled sådant here instead of sådan?
Sådant changes to match the gender of the noun it describes. Because tyg (fabric) is an ett-word, you must use the neuter form, which adds a -t: sådant. If it were an en-word like jacka (jacket), it would be sådan jacka.
Does tyg stay in the indefinite form after sådant?
Yes. After words like sådan, sådant, and sådana, the noun is in the indefinite form (tyg), just like in English where we say "such fabric" rather than "such the fabric".
Is it okay to translate sådant tyg as "that kind of fabric"?
Absolutely. In everyday English, "such fabric" can sound a bit formal. Translating sådant as "that kind of" or "this sort of" is very natural and captures the exact meaning of the Swedish word.
