"I have a mother and a father."

Translation: Jag har en mor och en far.

[bepisTM]

oh, using only two and three letter words sounds so beautiful

[LennartdeFraeisk]

Can one say "Jag har en mor och far"?

[WarrenBrad1]

I came here wondering the same thing because I was told I was incorrect when I put this

[JeanLibera1]

Is this ok? Or if not, what is wrong with it?

"Jag har en moder och en fader."

[Christina_Hamsun]

Men varför är det inte tillgängligt att använda de fulla formarna: Jag har en moder och en fader ?

[CallumTurn3]

When is it mor/far and when is it mamma/pappa?

[Haesselmaas]

The same difference as in English with mother/father and mom/dad. Mor/far is more formal, and mamma/pappa very informal. I don't know if I can explain it further. It depends on the person you are, the person you're talking to, whether or nit you're close to your parents, as well as the situation....

[SopsiDasNilpferd]

And what about moder and fader?

[Nina931729]

I am confused about use of articles here. Can you put indefinite articles in front of words like mother and father in Swedish?

[Rasla143]

en mamma och en pappa eller en mor och en far

[courtneex]

Why can't it be "Jag har en mor och en farsa."

[Rasla143]

what's farsa i didn't understand father is far in Swedish
