Questions & Answers about Mjölken från mejeriet är opastöriserad.
The current lesson is about using om än. How could I add "albeit delicious" to this sentence?
You can just append om än god to the end: Mjölken från mejeriet är opastöriserad, om än god. Because om än creates a shortened concessive phrase, you don't need to add a new verb or subject like you would with även om. Just remember that the adjective god still needs to agree with the en-word mjölken.
Is the prefix o- in opastöriserad the standard equivalent to the English "un-"?
Yes, adding o- to the beginning of an adjective or past participle is the most common way to negate it in Swedish. It translates to "un-", "in-", or "non-" in English, as seen in words like vanlig (usual) becoming ovanlig (unusual) or känd (known) becoming okänd (unknown).
If we were talking about smöret (the butter) instead of mjölken, would opastöriserad change?
Yes, it would become opastöriserat. Past participles function like adjectives when they describe a noun after the verb är, meaning they must agree with the noun's gender and number. Since smör is an ett-word, the participle needs the -t ending.
What is the base form of mejeriet and how does it decline?
The base form is the ett-word ett mejeri. Because it is an ett-word ending in a vowel, its plural takes the -er suffix. This makes the indefinite plural mejerier (dairies) and the definite plural mejerierna (the dairies).
