Questions & Answers about Har företaget ingen inkomst i år?
Why is it ingen here instead of inget or inga?
Ingen is used because it describes the noun inkomst (income), which is an en word (en inkomst). If it were describing an ett word, you would use inget, and for plural words, you would use inga.
Can I say inte någon inkomst instead of ingen inkomst?
Yes, absolutely! You can say Har företaget inte någon inkomst i år? Both mean exactly the same thing. In Swedish, ingen is simply a shorter, very common way to combine inte and någon (not any) into one word.
Why does företaget end in -et?
The base word for company is an ett word: ett företag. To make it definite (meaning the company instead of a company), you add -et to the end, giving you företaget.
