Questions & Answers about Du får ingen ersättning för en repad jacka.
Why is the word for "scratched" repad here instead of repat or repade?
Repad is a past participle being used as an adjective to describe jacka. Because jacka is an en-word (en jacka), the participle takes the -d ending. If it were describing an ett-word, it would be repat, and if it were plural or definite, it would be repade.
How do you form the past participle repad from the verb?
It comes from the verb repa (to scratch), which is a Group 1 verb. For Group 1 verbs, you form the past participle by taking the stem and adding -d for en-words, -t for ett-words, and -de for plural or definite forms.
Why use ingen ersättning instead of inte en ersättning for "no compensation"?
I learned that får means "may" or "is allowed to". Why does it translate to "get" here?
