Questions & Answers about Vad beviljar universitetet akademiska stipendier för?
Why is the plural of scholarship stipendier instead of stipendiumer?
Stipendium is a neuter Latin loanword ending in -um. To make these words plural in Swedish, you drop the -um entirely before adding the plural ending -er. So, ett stipendium becomes flera stipendier. You will see this same pattern in words like ett museum becoming museer.
Why do we use akademiska with an -a at the end?
The adjective needs to match the noun it describes. Since stipendier is plural, the adjective takes the plural -a ending, making it akademiska.
Is it grammatically correct to end the sentence with the preposition för?
Yes, this is very common in Swedish! Just like in English when asking What... for?, Swedish often leaves the preposition at the end of a sentence when the question word is moved to the front.
What form of the word is universitetet?
It is the definite singular form, meaning the university. Because universitet is an ett-word, you add -et to the end to make it definite.
