Questions & Answers about Vi har få utgifter den här månaden.
Why do we use få here instead of lite?
Få means "few" and is used with things you can count (countable nouns), like utgifter (expenses). If you were talking about an uncountable noun like money or time, you would use lite (a little/little). For example: Vi har lite pengar (We have little money).
Is there a difference in meaning between få and några få?
Yes! Just like in English, få simply means "few" (which focuses on the small amount, meaning "not many"). If you say några få, it means "a few" (which sounds a bit more positive, meaning "a small number of").
What is the singular form of utgifter?
The singular is en utgift (an expense). It's an en-word, and it forms its plural by adding -er, making it utgifter (expenses).
Why does it say den här månaden instead of just den här månad?
In Swedish, when you use den här (this) or den där (that), the noun that follows must always be in its definite form (the "the" form). That's why we use the definite månaden (the month) instead of the indefinite månad, even though in English we just say "this month".
