"You eat a sandwich."

Translation: Du äter en smörgås.

[Rob_Fox]

So can anyone explain the use of "Ni" and "Du". When do you use it? Do you use "Ni" for a group and "Du" when you are talking to one person?

[ChloKokx]

Precis!

Btw precis means exactly

[Alisa100347]

Hello, could you please explain me the difference between the articles "ett" and "en"? Why do we say "ett äpple" and "en smörgås"? Thank you for your explanation. Alisa

[Sophia.Eliassen]

It's about the gender of the noun. Äpple is neuter, while smörgås is masculine.

Tip: If you guys (ni) need the letter å and have a Mac, type an a while holding down the option (alt) key. :)

[rayray_2561]

or you could hold down a and press 7. for ä hold down and press 4. for ö hold o down and press 2

[Isaac_Luna_]

Also, if you guys (ni) need the letter ä or ö and have a Mac, type a u while holding down the option (alt) key, then press the letter that you want under the umlaut (the two dots)

[morticia837]

"Ni" and "Du" difference please, when to use which one?

[devalanteriel]

du is for one person; ni is for more than one.

[matthew267036]

I entered "macka " as snadwich as thats whatbi was taught not " smörgås" as my friebd i talk to most speaks norlandska not stockholmska ?. But duolingo recognises it as a correct answer which is cool

[devalanteriel]

Either is perfectly fine, though macka is more colloquial.

[AjNesbitt]

This is going to take a couple of months for me to figure out this language

[AjNesbitt]

Yes du is for one person but ni is for like two or three peolpe

[Sammis3005]

How do i get which word is masculine or not ?

[devalanteriel]

There's some info and an additional link here: https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/26420394/Answers-to-some-common-questions-on-grammar-that-beginners-have

But do note that Swedish grammar doesn't have masculine and feminine genders. They're called common and neuter, or en-words and ett-words.
