Question 1

Why is it denna aktie instead of denna aktien?

Accepted Answer

The formal demonstrative denna (this) always requires the noun to be in its indefinite form, which is why we use aktie. If you wanted to use the more common, everyday phrase den här, you would need the definite form: den här aktien.

Question 2

Why does the verb är come before the subject denna aktie?

Accepted Answer

This is the classic V2 (verb-second) rule. Because the sentence starts with the linking adverb dessutom (moreover), the verb är must immediately follow it in the second position. This pushes the subject, denna aktie, into the third position.

Question 3

What kind of word is dessutom?

Accepted Answer

Dessutom translates to "moreover," "furthermore," or "besides." It is an adverb used to add extra information or another supporting point to something you just said. It is a very useful linking word to make your Swedish sound more fluent and cohesive at the B1 level.

Question 4

Why does the adjective end in -full instead of -fullt?

Accepted Answer

The adjective värdefull (valuable) must agree with the noun it describes. Because aktie (share/stock) is an en-word (en aktie), the adjective takes the standard common gender form. If it were describing an ett-word, it would become värdefullt.
