Questions & Answers about De säljer läckra frukter i ståndet.
Why is the word for delicious spelled läckra instead of läckera?
The base form of this adjective is läcker. When you make it plural to match frukter, you would normally just add an -a. However, adjectives ending in an unstressed -el, -er, or -en drop that e before adding the -a to make them easier to pronounce. So, läcker becomes läckra.
Is De at the beginning of the sentence pronounced the way it is spelled?
No, this is a quick reminder that the pronoun de (they) is almost always pronounced as dom in spoken Swedish, even though it is written as de.
What is the base form of ståndet (the stall)?
The base word is stånd (a stall, stand, or booth). It is an ett word (ett stånd), so to say the stall, you add -et to the end, making it ståndet.
How does the plural work for frukter?
The singular form is en frukt. Like many common nouns in Swedish, it simply takes an -er ending in the plural to become frukter.
