Questions & Answers about Brädspelet är väldigt roligt.
Why does the word for 'very' end in '-t' here (väldigt)?
Väldigt is acting as a degree adverb to make the adjective stronger. It comes from the adjective väldig (huge or enormous). In Swedish, you create this kind of adverb by adding a -t to the base adjective.
Why is it roligt instead of just rolig?
Adjectives in Swedish change to match the noun they describe. Because the noun it describes, brädspelet, comes from an ett word (ett spel), the adjective gets a -t added to the end to match it.
Can I use mycket instead of väldigt to say 'very fun'?
Yes, mycket roligt works perfectly too! Väldigt is extremely common in everyday Swedish and adds a slightly stronger, more expressive feeling, much like saying 'really fun' instead of just 'very fun'.
Is brädspelet an en word or an ett word?
It is an ett word. For compound words like this one (made from bräde and spel), the gender is always decided by the very last word. Since it is ett spel, it becomes ett brädspel, which gives us the definite form brädspelet.
Wait, doesn't roligt mean 'funny'?
Yes, rolig can mean both 'funny' (haha) and 'fun' (enjoyable). You have to use the context to know which one it is. For a board game, it almost always means that the game is fun to play!
