Questions & Answers about Min granne är mycket snäll.
Why do we use min instead of mitt here?
Granne (neighbour) is an en-word, so it takes the en-word possessive pronoun min. If the noun were an ett-word, like hus (house), you would use mitt (mitt hus).
I thought mycket meant "much". Why is it translated as "very"?
You are right that mycket often means "much" or "a lot" (as in tack så mycket). However, when you put mycket directly in front of an adjective like snäll, it means "very". You will also commonly hear väldigt used to mean "very" (väldigt snäll).
Why doesn't the adjective snäll have a -t at the end?
Adjectives in Swedish need to match the noun they describe. Because granne is an en-word, the adjective stays in its basic form, snäll. If it were describing an ett-word like barn (child), it would become snällt (ett snällt barn).
Do people actually pronounce the "t" at the end of mycket?
In formal writing, it always has a "t", but in everyday spoken Swedish, that "t" is almost always dropped. You will usually hear people pronounce it simply as "mycke".
