Tell that to Mighty Mouse - Ha! He is know for eating the moon, which of course is made of cheese.
I was just wondering, is it always necessary to articulate the object? for example is it right to say: "Musen äter ost." or is it gramatically incorrect? even if it gives the sentence a slightly different meaning, as if you would like to tell which animal eats what food (mouse eats cheese, wolf eats meat and so on)
Unless translating certain idiomatic expressions, definites translate to definites, and indefinites to indefinites. While "Musen äter ost" is a grammatically correct sentence, it's not correct here.

It may be classic, but it's not actually good for mice to eat cheese lol. More like, Musen äter inte osten.
I am having trouble distinguishing the sound of ö from u. Is there any place where this is addressed? Tack.
Being german makes me confused here since the swedish word norden has a word in German thats spelled the same:norden meaning north(same in swedish) however the german osten means east while the swedish osten means the egg
Confusing
Nice don't eat cheese, because it isn't a natural food to them. However, they do eat rice, and grain based food.
Struggling a little with these definitives. Are there any similarities with Bestämd and obestämd compared to English?
