Questions & Answers about Solrosen är väldigt stor och gul.
This lesson is about the vad ... för (what kind of) construction. How would I use that structure to ask "What kind of sunflower is very big and yellow?"
You would split the question words around the noun, and then use som (that/which) to attach the description: Vad är det för solros som är väldigt stor och gul? (Literally: What is it for sunflower that is very big and yellow?).
What is the literal translation of the parts that make up the word solrosen?
It is a compound noun made of sol (sun) and ros (rose), plus the singular definite ending -en. So, in Swedish, a sunflower is literally a "sun-rose".
Väldig usually means "huge" or "enormous." Why does it mean "very" here, and why does it end in -t?
When you add a -t to an adjective like väldig, it becomes an adverb. As an adverb, väldigt is incredibly common in everyday Swedish to simply mean "very" or "extremely," modifying the adjectives stor and gul.
Why are stor and gul in their basic forms here, instead of ending in -t or -a?
