Questions & Answers about Det här stället är alltid tyst.
Why do we say Det här stället with the definite ending on stället?
When using the demonstrative pronouns den här or det här (meaning "this"), Swedish requires the noun to be in its definite form. Since ett ställe means "a place", you must use its definite form stället ("the place"). It literally translates to "this here the place".
Since stället is an ett word, shouldn't the adjective tyst have an extra -t at the end?
Normally, adjectives get a -t ending when describing an ett word (for example, ett stort ställe). However, because tyst already ends in a consonant followed by a -t, it doesn't take an extra one. It remains tyst for both en and ett words.
