"The plates and the sandwiches"

Translation: Tallrikarna och smörgåsarna

[ScandinavianMutt]

How do you know when the ending for a plural with the will be arna or erna?

Such as 'the elephants' (elefanterna) compared to 'the cooks' (kockarna).

[Zmrzlina]

The endings on -ar and -er for en-nouns that end in a consonant is irregular, but -ar is more common.

[Regney]

What is the difference between smörgåsarna and mackorna? Are smörgåsarna open-faced and the other closed?

[Arnauti]

No difference, it's just that mackorna is a more colloquial word.

[Regney]

Thanks! ☺

[Kiwlo]

why is the letter é in my little typing box thing

[Arnauti]

It's used in some loan words, basically all of them French, to show where the stress goes. Like entré for 'entrance'.

[purple_heck]

Tack! I was so confused when first seeing a word with é in it bcs it's so much less common than the words with, like, å or ö in it

[bunjo6]

No my had been right

[Jan956045]

Spelling mistake only, tillrickarna. These seem randomly allowed or not.

[3uYz9TWf]

I do not quite understand the rule of placing 'inte', before or after it is you wont do.
