"The man has a blue suit."

Translation: Mannen har en blå kostym.

[javakaffe]

how do you know when to use blå or blått?

[Zmrzlina]

Blå is for en-words, and blått is for ett-words.

[mattheworb]

and blåa is for pleurals?

[Zmrzlina]

Yeah. :)

[mattheworb]

thank you :)

[javakaffe]

Okej, tack.

[Cathal9]

if it is en blå kostym then is it en svart kostym rather than en svarta kostym? All rather confusing!

[SebastianK9732]

It is indeed.

[Gustafsson3]

I used passa instead of kostym and it suggested the alternate word

[Arnauti]

passa is the verb, like in 'The dress suits you' Klänningen passar dig.

[amber_jin]

en bla kostym but en svarta ankan? is it because of "ankan" not "anka"?

[RatSumatra]

From what I gather, svarta is the plural form of black. So ankan ( ducks ) would be plural svarta. Anka singular would be svart.
Please correct if i am confused.

[Seeheer]

Dead right. You're not confused

[NowakG22]

Sometimes I write Männen and Duolingo corrects me showing the right answer written as Mannen. Is there a difference between Männen and Mannen? If yes, how can i know it?

[mesvensson]

Mannen = the man

Männen = the men
