Questions & Answers about Företagets märkliga hemsida har ingen information.
Why is the adjective märkliga in the definite form, but the noun hemsida is not?
This is the main rule for possessives and genitives! After an owner like Företagets (The company's), the adjective must take its definite form, which usually ends in -a. However, the noun that follows must stay in the indefinite form. That is why we say märkliga hemsida and not märkliga hemsidan.
Why is there no apostrophe in Företagets?
Swedish does not use apostrophes to show ownership. You simply add an -s directly to the end of the noun. Here, we take the definite noun företaget (the company) and add -s to get Företagets (the company's).
Why do we use ingen here instead of inget or inte?
The word for "no" or "none" has to match the gender and number of the noun it describes. Because information is a singular en-word, we use ingen. If it were a singular ett-word, you would use inget, and for plurals, you would use inga. Note that we use ingen instead of inte because it is acting like an adjective directly modifying the noun.
Does hemsida mean "website" or "homepage"?
