Questions & Answers about Utseendet blir väldigt trendigt.
Why is the adjective trendigt spelled with a -t at the end?
Because it describes the subject, utseendet, which is an ett word (neuter). When you use bli (to become) or vara (to be) to link a subject to a describing adjective, the adjective must agree with the subject's gender. Since the base word is ett utseende, the adjective trendig gets a -t added to it.
What is the difference between saying Utseendet är väldigt trendigt and Utseendet blir väldigt trendigt?
The verb är means the appearance is already trendy right now. Using blir (becomes, gets, or will be) highlights a change of state. It means the appearance is currently changing to look trendy, or will turn out trendy as the final result of some ongoing work.
What is the base form of utseendet, and why doesn't it end in -et like many other neuter nouns?
The base word is ett utseende. Because it already ends in a vowel (-e), Swedish only adds a -t to make it definite (meaning "the appearance"). Adding the full -et ending would create an awkward double vowel.
Can I use mycket instead of väldigt here?
Yes, you can use them interchangeably to mean "very". Väldigt originally comes from the adjective for "huge" or "enormous", but in modern Swedish, it functions as an extremely common intensifier just like mycket.
