Questions & Answers about Vi väntar på fler avslöjanden.
Why does avslöjanden end in -n here?
The singular form is ett avslöjande (a revelation). Abstract nouns or actions that end in -ande or -ende are usually ett-words belonging to noun group 4. To make them plural, you simply add an -n. So, ett avslöjande becomes flera avslöjanden.
Why do we use fler instead of mer in this sentence?
In Swedish, fler is used for countable nouns (things you can easily count, like 'more revelations' or 'more cars'), while mer is used for uncountable things (like 'more water' or 'more time'). Since avslöjanden is plural and countable, fler is the correct choice.
Why is there a på after väntar?
When you are waiting for a specific thing or person in Swedish, you always use the phrasal verb väntar på. While English uses 'waiting for', Swedish literally says 'waiting on'.
How is the noun avslöjande formed?
It is built from the verb att avslöja (to reveal or expose). You can often turn a Swedish verb into an abstract noun by adding -ande or -ende to the stem, which is very similar to adding '-ing' or '-tion' to a word in English.
