"Författare skriver böcker."

Translation: Authors write books.

[SDvT89]

An author = en författare; the author = författaren; authors = författare; the authors = författar(na)??

I'm not sure about the plural definite noun.

[MarcinM85]

It's författarna.

[Michael990548]

As a general rule, -are has no indef plural but the def plural goes with the word's gender.

Why not "author writes books"?

[Zmrzlina]

If it were singular, Swedish would've had the indefinite article en in there.

Thank you!

They also murder the people in those books, and brutally rip out the hearts of the readers and leave them to drown in a sea of tears and eternal sorrow while they laugh and fist bump the devil.

Why not a writer?

[AxonnEchysttas]

Writer actually worked as an answer. It's what i selected from the first go. Made more sense to choose the specialized form

[Elizabeth203313]

Författare=Author=Authors
So why am i wrong? I am confused.

[PoufPoal]

I'd say it need "en" to be singular :

En författare = Author
Författare = Authors

[Sara789954]

I love it when swedish words almost sound like german words. Författare=Verfasser
It just makes it so much easier :)

[MorenoAlejandro]

don't get it...I thought all plurals ended with or..I thought this was Författaror

[Firefly540]

Writers write writings
