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.
How does the phrase både ... och work?
The phrase både ... och means "both ... and". It is a very common pair used to link two things together, just like in English. You put the first descriptive word after både and the second one after och.
If I wanted to say "I think the result is both important and interesting", which verb of opinion from this lesson should I use?
You would use tycker, because this is a subjective opinion based on your own evaluation of the results. You would say: Jag tycker att resultatet är både viktigt och intressant. Remember that tror is used for guessing or believing something without knowing for sure, while tänker is for the active process of thinking in your head.
Why is the noun written as resultatet and not just resultat?
Resultatet is the definite form, meaning "the result". Because resultat is an ett word, you add the suffix -et to the end of the word to make it definite.
