Questions & Answers about Studien visar ett intressant resultat.
Could we use tror or tycker instead of visar here?
No. Tycker is for personal opinions and tror is for beliefs. A study provides factual data, so it demonstrates or shows (visar) rather than having feelings or beliefs.
Why is it intressant and not intressantt since resultat is an ett word?
You are right that adjectives usually get a -t at the end when describing an ett word. However, because intressant already ends in a -t, we do not add another one. It looks exactly the same as the en word form!
The dictionary says a study is en studie. Why is the definite form studien and not studieen?
Because the root word studie already ends in a vowel. When an en word ends in a vowel, you usually just add an -n to make it definite (meaning 'the study').
Is the final -t in resultat silent?
No, you pronounce the -t clearly here! It is usually only silent in a few specific words like det or in the definite -et ending of nouns (like huset). Because resultat is the base form of the word, the -t is spoken.
