Questions & Answers about Vi föredrar ett litet arrangemang.
Since this lesson is about 'vad ... för', how would you ask 'What kind of arrangement do we prefer?'
You would use the split construction from this lesson: Vad föredrar vi för arrangemang? Notice how vad (what) and för (for) bracket the verb and the subject.
Why is the word for 'small' written as 'litet' here?
The noun arrangemang is a neuter noun (an ett-word), so the adjective liten must take its neuter form, litet. As a quick refresher, liten is highly irregular: its definite singular form is lilla and its plural is små.
What is the infinitive form of the verb 'föredrar'?
The infinitive is föredra. It is built from för and the short verb dra (to pull or draw). Just like dra becomes drar in the present tense, föredra simply adds an -r to become föredrar.
How do you make a word like 'arrangemang' plural?
Like many Swedish loanwords ending in -emang (such as abonnemang or engagemang), it is an ett-word that ends in a consonant. This means it looks exactly the same in the indefinite plural: ett arrangemang (one arrangement), flera arrangemang (several arrangements).
