"A vegetarian does not eat meat."

Translation: En vegetarian äter inte kött.

[BelgianBunny]

Why is there an article 'en' here when there isn't one when you say, for example, she is a vegetarian / Hon är vegetarian?

[Arnauti]

It's only when we say someone 'is' a profession etc that we don't use the article. Not in other contexts.

Should "En vegetarisk äter inte kött" be accepted as a valid translation?

[nick707963]

the pronunciation of 'kött' baffles me :/

[veroniiiviiika]

So kött is kind of pronounced as shot?

[gustavssonamanda]

Kinda, but the "ö" is more like the "i" in "dirty"

[Michael694289]

Like the example :D dörty

[MartinRose13]

Why doesnt it allow "En vegetarian äter ej kött". Ej and inte are basicly the same or?

[gustavssonamanda]

When we talk we usually say "inte" but "ej" is not wrong and used a lot in texts. Report it :)

whew Lucky guess w/r/t en vs ett since I haven't seen A vegetarian yet, at The beginning of a sentence
