Questions & Answers about Båda var hungriga och ville ha hembakade kakor.
How is the compound adjective hembakade formed here?
It combines the noun hem (home) with the past participle of the verb baka (to bake). Because it describes a plural noun (kakor), the past participle bakad takes its plural form, becoming hembakade.
Don't plural adjectives usually end in "-a"? Why does hembakade end in "-e"?
Regular adjectives usually take -a in the plural, but adjectives formed from past participles ending in -ad (like bakad) follow a special rule. They always take -e in the plural to become -ade, avoiding the awkward sound of an "-ada" ending.
Why does the sentence use båda instead of både?
Båda is a pronoun meaning "both of them" or "the two", which acts as the subject here. You only use både when it is part of the conjunction phrase både... och... meaning "both [this] and [that]".
Why does the sentence say ville ha instead of just ville?
