Questions & Answers about Jag skickar det inte, eftersom cv:t redan finns i pdf:en.
Why are there colons in cv:t and pdf:en?
In Swedish, when you add grammatical endings (like definite articles, plurals, or the genitive s) to an initialism or acronym, you use a colon to attach them. Since cv and pdf are initialisms, their definite suffixes (-t and -en) are attached with a colon.
How do I know whether to add :t or :en to an acronym?
Initialisms usually adopt the gender of the Swedish equivalent of their core noun, or they become en-words by default. cv is a neuter noun (ett cv), so its definite form takes :t. pdf is a common noun (en pdf), likely because Swedish speakers mentally associate it with en fil (a file), so it takes :en.
Why are cv and pdf written in lowercase here?
Unlike English, Swedish standard orthography prefers lowercase letters for initialisms that are read out letter by letter and function as common nouns. While proper names like FN (UN) or EU remain capitalized, everyday abbreviations like CV and PDF are written as cv and pdf.
Why is the word order cv:t redan finns instead of cv:t finns redan?
