Questions & Answers about Jag tror kapitalismen skapade den här mentaliteten.
How can I predict the gender and plural of mentaliteten?
Words ending in the international suffix -itet (like mentalitet, kvalitet, and identitet) are reliably en words. When making them plural, they belong to the third declension and take the -er ending. So the indefinite plural is mentaliteter, and the definite plural is mentaliteterna.
Why is kapitalismen an en word, and how would I make it plural?
Almost all international loanwords ending in the suffix -ism are en words. Because words like kapitalism or turism describe abstract concepts or systems, they rarely have a plural form. If you ever needed to force a plural, they would take -er (third declension), but you will almost exclusively see the singular forms kapitalism (indefinite) and kapitalismen (definite).
Why isn't there an att (that) after tror? Can I say Jag tror att kapitalismen...?
Yes, you can absolutely include att here. Just like in English where the word that can often be dropped, spoken and informal Swedish frequently drops att when introducing a subordinate clause after verbs like tror, säger, or tycker.
