Questions & Answers about Vet du värdet på ett stulet pass?
Why is it stulet and not stulen?
Past participles work like adjectives when they describe a noun. Because pass is an ett word (ett pass), the participle takes a -t ending to match it. If we were talking about an en word, like en bil (a car), it would be en stulen bil.
Why do we use vet here instead of känner for "know"?
Veta (which becomes vet in the present tense) is used for knowing facts or information, like knowing the value of something. Känna is used for knowing people, places, or being personally familiar with someone.
Why is the preposition på used here for "of" instead of av?
In Swedish, på is commonly used instead of av when talking about the value, price, or name of a specific thing. So "the value of" translates to värdet på.
Why does the word värde end in -t here?
Värde (value) is an ett word. To say "the value" instead of "a value," you add the definite ending -t to the end, making it värdet.
