Questions & Answers about Det är otillåtet att begränsa användarens rättigheter.
Why is rättigheter in the indefinite form when the English translation says "the user's rights"?
In Swedish, whenever you use a possessive word or a noun ending in the genitive -s (like användarens), the noun that belongs to it must be in the indefinite form. So it is användarens rättigheter, not användarens rättigheterna.
Why does otillåtet end in a -t here?
The adjective is describing the impersonal subject Det (It). When you use Det är... (It is...) to state a general rule or fact, the describing adjective must take the neuter form. The base word is otillåten (unauthorized or not allowed), which becomes otillåtet.
What is the base form of användarens and how does it get this ending?
The base word is the en-word användare (user). To say "the user", you add -n to make användaren. Finally, to show possession ("the user's"), you add an -s to the end, resulting in användarens.
What is the difference between rättigheter and just using rätter?
Rättighet (plural rättigheter) specifically means a legal, moral, or formal "right" or privilege. While en rätt can also mean a right, it is heavily used to mean a "dish" (of food) or a "court of law". Adding the suffix -het creates a clear abstract noun for rights.
