"I am a woman."

Translation: Jag är en kvinna.

[M3ti]

how do they pronounce Jag ar? i can barely hear it!

[Lundgren8]

Usually it's "ja e" or "ja ä" without the -g and the -r.

[Murrman9]

How do you pronounce kvinna? It's hard to hear

[deactivated user]

k-uh veen nawh

[Qofex3jq]

I thought "Jag är en tjej" acceptable?

[ReinerSelb]

love the multiple choice prompt! "jag är en bröd" should also be acceptable, at least for me lol.

[vusal386232]

Why "jag är man" but " jag är en kvinna".

[PartisanGerm]

Not too sure about pronouncing ar. It sounds like ee-eh, but isn't it more eh-er?

[Lundgren8]

In normal speech it’s usually just like a long e or a long ä. Otherwise the ä sound is pretty much like the word ’air’ in British English.

[hardcoretomas]

So does "är" mean "is", "am" and "are"?

[Zmrzlina]

Yes. Swedish doesn't conjugate verbs at all depending on who performs the action.

[StraumeRudzinsky]

I always get kvinna and flicka confused :/

[ShaunThrea]

Kvinna is woman. Flicka is girl.

[Oleg911891]

Remember: a woman is a queen (kvinna).

[fruityninj]

"null" was not a word that was learned in the previous lessons, are we being set up to fail this question?

[Arnauti]

There's a bug that may make 'null' appear in some circumstances (when the system can't find anything to show). Pretty annoying.

How come you say "en kvinna" or "en man" and then an apple is "ett äpple"

[margareta431214]

There is no real explanation for that. We just do.

[Lokozaodoidao456]

Jag

[Luna848114]

"What's your favourite drink bro?"

"Women..."

[Hsn626796]

Is it pronounced as "djóogaren kvinna" as i hear it ?

Is this the proper pronunciation?

[makayla367921]

Do i have to add the accent?

[Jeff_hello123]

Well hello there

[ELIZABETH132119]

My typing does not give the accents to type

How to pronounce kvinna?

[prinsessa1212]

Jag är kvinna should be accepted, I believe. I've reported it.

[JesperBerg788917]

It shouldn't. The example uses an indefinitive article.

[frrro]

Omitting "en" in "Jag är en man/kvinna" is done by us natives in some informal situations like in a dating profile. (incorrectly or not, I'm not a grammar expert) However, I can't think of a single situation where omitting it actually sounds better but many where it would sound obviously wrong, so just learn it the proper way. :)

Even if someone explicitly asks you: "är du man eller kvinna" you can/should still reply "jag är en kvinna" (or just "kvinna").

[RAJESHN5]

Ar and en confused

[IsmailBella]

well i thought we should not write the article "EN" when we talk about a human being doesn't it apply in this case?
