"Vi är väldigt trötta."

Translation: We are very tired.

[Aristotels]

hej! whats the difference between väldigt and mycket?

[Lundgren8]

None, väldigt is more natural in speech, more colloquial.

[Teaaaa]

Or we can say "jättetrötta", right?

[Arnauti]

Yup, det går jättebra. It's an accepted answer too.

[Super8Mario]

So what's the difference between jätte- , väldigt and mycket? I thought mycket meant "much"

[Arnauti]

No difference in meaning, but jätte- is more colloquial than the others (and väldigt is slightly more colloquial than mycket).

[Super8Mario]

Thanks a lot Arnauti

Would it be generally correct to assume: jätte-=really väldigt=very mycket=much ?

[KimWidman]

The Swedish noun en jätte (a giant) may indicate how to interpret the prefix jätte-.

[sotnosen93]

Almost, except I would just lump "mycket" into "very" as well. You can't really say "I'm much tired", and even if you can I'm pretty sure it's far more uncommon than "mycket" is in Swedish.

my braincells after an all-day-long session of duolingo

[g.uh]

Trötta because Vi is plural, stämmer det ?

[Zmrzlina]

Yes, that is correct. Have a lingot.

is the "base form" väldig without the t? why is there a t? does "väldigt" matches with another word bc of the t at the end? or is "väldigt" a whole word, that doesn't changes?

[Aristotels]

I think that usually when there is a "t" in the end of an adjective it turns it to an adverb. In other cases it means that the following word (object or subject) is an "ett" word. if its an "en" word the adjective stays the way it is. Am I right?

[Anxiolytic]

So why isn't it "Vi är väldiga trötta"?

[Arnauti]

It's an adverb that modifies the adjective, not an adjective that modifies the subject. The normal adverb form is -t.

[bigswedeej]

So adverbs end in -t or -vis?

[sotnosen93]

The tips and tricks in the browser version lists the endings as -t, -tvis, and -en.

[foughtspace]

Aw, pretty can mean 'very'...

[sotnosen93]

I don't really think they're synonymous. To me, "very" implies a far higher tiredness level than "pretty". The former is "I need to go bed now", the latter is "I can keep going for a bit longer".

[OwlParliament]

Is trötta used for the "exhausted" meaning of tired rather than "sleepy" tired? If so, what is sleepy?

I put "We are very sleepy" and it wasn't accepted so I was wondering whether trötta isn't as flexible as the word tired is in English.

[sotnosen93]

It can refer to both just like the Swedish "tired", but if you want to specify "sleepy" you can use the word "sömnig".

[KimWidman]

And if you want to specify exhausted you can use utmattad/utmattade.

[Tanya69534]

I think the word väldigt is very similar to the German gewaltig you just use the väldigt -waltig and we don't put a t behind.

But the difference is that gewaltig isn't the same meaning as väldigt.

Utmattade in german would be maybe ausgemachte?

Sömnig is exactly the same in Portuguese 'Sono' pronounced sónoo. Cones this word from Latin?

Also mat and utmattade are similar to matar in Portuguese.
