Questions & Answers about Resultatet är både viktigt och intressant.
Why do the adjectives viktigt and intressant end in -t here?
In Swedish, adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. Because resultatet comes from an ett word (ett resultat), the adjectives take the -t ending. If the noun were an en word, like en nyhet (a news story), they would be viktig and intressant without the extra -t.
