"Du läser fel bok."

Translation: You are reading the wrong book.

[DehPuh]

Why is there no article? I was told you need TWO of them!

[Lundgren8]

With ”rätt/fel” we don’t use articles. ”Vad är rätt svar?” (What is the correct answer?), ”Jag är rätt man för jobbet.” (I am the right man for the job.), ”Ni har fel kille!” (You’ve got the wrong guy!)

[DehPuh]

Tack!! Du hjälpade mig så mycket!! (probably wrong lol, correct it snälla :) )

[jaiirapetjan]

Han hjälpte alla som läser detta. :) Och du hjälpte av att fråga.

[Lundgren8]

”Hjälpte”, otherwise correct. :)

[ilmolleggi]

Tack!!! Du förtjänar en tacka!

[JoshuaMadd2]

Why is this "bok" and not "boken"?

[Zmrzlina]

The adjective fel never wants what it describes to be definite.

[CaptainIkag]

Is there a reason some words do this? Loan word?

[Zmrzlina]

Just exceptions. They are few though.

[nikkofir]

So far I've found 'samma', 'rätt', and 'fel' that seem to not have definite articles when used in Swedish. You're reading the same/wrong/right book. Du läser samma/fel/rätt bok.
Any others that people know of?

[AgnusOinas]

I found "next" in addition to those there. Vad är nästa fråga?

[Pakala]

I also found "följande" (the following) and "föregående" (the previous)

[BellaBliss]

declension of "fel" please? cant find in Wiktionary :-( ..

[RuciGluci]

«Fel» never changes its form:
• fel bok - a/the wrong book
• fel hus - a/the wrong house
• fel människor - (the) wrong people

[DizzyDollar]

Would you say "You are in the wrong." as "Du är i fel."?

[nickolasm84]

why not "you are reading a wrong book?"

[LingoLaura]

i think that would be du laser EN fel bok

[AZOR1984]

Agree in Swedish but "the wrong" does not seem to be correct in English:(

[AlexanderNocke]

Is it fel, felt, fela?

[bebatjof]

no fel doesnt change, see another answer above for examples

[SonjaAN]

Why not "You are reading A wrong book". Would that have been "Du läser en fel bok"?
