Questions & Answers about Vi bygger en plattform för virtuell konst.
How could we apply the lesson topic, the emphatic abstract reflexive i sig (in itself), to the nouns in this sentence?
You could emphasize the art by saying Virtuell konst i sig är spännande (Virtual art in itself is exciting). Because konst is a third-person concept (it), it takes the reflexive sig. For an en-word like plattform, it works exactly the same: Plattformen i sig (The platform in itself).
Why is the adjective virtuell used here without any endings?
The noun konst (art) is an en-word used here in its uncountable, indefinite singular form. Therefore, the adjective virtuell takes its basic form with no suffix. You would only add an -a for the definite form, such as den virtuella konsten (the virtual art).
If we were building multiple platforms, how does the word plattform pluralize?
The word plattform is an en-word ending in -form. Nouns ending in -form typically belong to the second declension and take the -ar ending in the plural. So you would say Vi bygger plattformar (We are building platforms).
Could we use the preposition till instead of för in this sentence?
