Questions & Answers about Pusslet är ganska svårt.
Does the word ganska change if the noun is an en word or plural?
No, ganska is an adverb, so its spelling is locked. Even though the adjective svårt changes to match the ett word pusslet, degree adverbs like ganska (quite), väldigt (very), and för (too) never change their form.
Why is there a -t at the end of svårt?
Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. Because pussel is an ett word, the adjective svår (difficult) gets a -t added to the end to become svårt. This rule still applies even when a degree adverb like ganska separates the noun and the adjective.
Why is "the puzzle" spelled pusslet instead of pusselet?
For ett words that end in -el (like pussel), we drop the second e before adding the definite ending -et. This makes the word flow better when spoken, so pussel plus -et becomes pusslet.
