jag har en kniv

Why is "one" used here instead of the definite "the"?

[Arnauti]

en kniv means 'a knife' (or 'one knife') but 'the knife' is kniven. So it's just a question of what the sentence says.

I recently started learning so i can be wrong.. but from what i understood it is grammar referring to the point of view. "En kock" is "A cook".. referring to the profession itself. "Kocken" (im not sure if its the correct term sorry) would be "The cook" since in this case you refer to a certain cook.

Difference between meaning one person, or many from the same profession.

[Kalle935336]

This is correct!

[Allyc4102]

what are you going to do with that knife buddy?

[Ithaca101]

This has to be the most English-y Svenska sentence I've seen. It's almost mutually intelligible.

[SamuraiOwl]

Anybody else find this sentence a little sketchy?

[SamuraiOwl]

I mean, whats the story behind this??

[Noora960901]

Why "The cook" doesnt work? Why its "One cook"?

[Zmrzlina]

Because it doesn't mean "the cook", it means "a cook".

[Viksdatter]

Am I missing a place where new vocabulary is first introduced rather than in a lesson...where I must guess what the word means and get it wrong to find out what it means? got totally stuck on flaskkott and kyckling for example...

[Sachinsure544760]

Even though I answered right in number of times ,but showing it wrong....but it is correct as well

[devalanteriel]

Your error report says "a cock has a knife". There's a very huge difference between that and "a cook has a knife".

Possibly a suggestion to add in some words that are wrong to make the question a bit more difficult, atm i could only select the right words in pretty much the right order
