Questions & Answers about Finns det andra alternativ med samma pris?
Why do we use andra here instead of annan or annat?
Because andra is the plural form of the word for "other". It is used here to match the plural noun alternativ (options).
How can I tell that alternativ is plural? It looks like a singular word!
The word alternativ is an ett-word ending in a consonant (ett alternativ). In Swedish, these words look exactly the same in their singular and plural indefinite forms. The plural determiner andra is your main grammatical clue that we are talking about multiple options here.
Why use Finns det for "Are there"? Can I say "Är där"?
No, you cannot say "Är där". When talking about the existence or availability of something (like saying "is there" or "are there" in English), Swedish always uses finns det, which literally translates to "is it found".
Why is it samma pris and not "sammat pris", since pris is an ett-word?
The word samma (same) is a special adjective because it never changes its ending. It stays exactly the same whether it describes an en-word, an ett-word, or a plural noun.
