Questions & Answers about Jag hoppas att spelet är väldigt roligt.
Why do we use väldigt for "very" here? Doesn't it mean "huge"?
You are right that the adjective väldig means "huge" or "enormous". But when we add -t to make it an adverb (väldigt), it translates to "very" or "extremely". It is one of the most common ways to emphasize adjectives in Swedish.
Both väldigt and roligt end in -t. Are they both matching the noun spelet?
Why is "the game" translated as spelet and not spelen?
Spel (game) is an ett-word. To say "the game" in the singular, we add -et to make spelet. If you used spelen, you would be saying "the games" in the plural.
If I wanted to say "I hope that the game is NOT very fun", where would I put inte?
You would say: Jag hoppas att spelet inte är väldigt roligt. The word att (that) starts a subordinate clause (a secondary part of the sentence). In Swedish subordinate clauses, negation words like inte must be placed before the verb (är).
