Almost sounds like 'A little tired apple'

What's the difference then between liten/lilla and små?

    it says in the notes under, but små is the plural form of liten/lilla. ie de små äpplena

    I might have asked this elsewhere at some point, but does Swedish have a specific order for adjectives? There's a reasonably famous quote about how, in English, adjectives:

    "...absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that order in the slightest you’ll sound like a maniac." - Mark Forsyth

    I think they have the same but I'm not sure I have seen many Swedish sentences with that similar order

    I heard "ett lite trött äpple" :)

    "Ett litet trött apple" was accepted here? Poor tired apple ;)

    Yep, still is. It even sounds like that's what's being said. Seems like an error.

    It was accepted for me too. Maybe because it's only wrong by one letter?

    If this was going be in the definite form, would it be "Den små röda äpplet?"


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Arnauti

    Det lilla röda äpplet.

    So lille, litet, lilla, små? Examples where we use this please?

    Hm, how would you know that it is "one little red apple" rather than "a little red apple"?


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Lundgren8

    You don’t, it could be either. Both are accepted in the course.


    https://www.duolingo.com/profile/bigswedeej

    So it is en liten... or ett litet... , But lille is used for both en and ett words?

    Why is it rott and not rottet? (sorry can't do accents here)
