Questions & Answers about Partiet som har flest röster får majoriteten.
Why is flest used here instead of mest for "the most"?
Flest is the superlative form of många (many). You use it with things you can count, like röster (votes). If you were talking about an uncountable amount, like water or time, you would use mest (the most).
Does the word röster mean "votes" or "voices"?
It can mean both! En röst can refer to a human voice or a vote in an election. In this context about a political party and a majority, it clearly means "votes".
Why is it Partiet and not Partien if it means "the party"?
The base word is ett parti (a party). Because it is an ett word, it takes the -et ending in the definite form, making it partiet (the party). If it were an en word, it would end in -en.
I learned that får means "may" or "is allowed to". Why does it translate to "gets" here?
The verb får has two common meanings. As a helping verb, it means "may" or "is allowed to". But when it is the main verb of the sentence and is followed by a noun, as it is here with majoriteten (the majority), it means "gets" or "receives".
