shouldn't professionella translate to the plural - professionals? can someone indicate the declension of the noun?
Both are accepted but my spontaneous interpretation of this sentence is that it's not a noun but an adjective. If we speak about people being professionals as a noun, we usually use proffs. It's a bit colloquial, but very widely used. Otherwise I might use yrkesmän.
PS It's ett proffs, proffset plural proffs, proffsen

How does this change with gender/amount? With colours as adjectives there were en/ett/plural versions of indefinite and definite nouns...so far for this we've only encountered professionell (singular, en/ett/both?) and professionella, both indefinite... Thanks.
Instead of being "pro-feh-shun-el-la", it's "pro-feh-hwun-el-la", with the swedish "sj" sound. It's a very unique sound, so if you can't pronounce it, at least say "hw" or something like that.
Hmm, checking frovo I found http://www.forvo.com/word/professionella/#sv -- poor audio quality http://www.forvo.com/word/professionellt/#sv -- professionellt http://www.forvo.com/word/professionell/#sv -- professionell
I am going to go with (profefhunella)
The "ss" sounded almost like a "k" to me, which makes perfect sense in a language where the "k" often sounds like an "s"... :)
I am hearing two types of pronunciation for this, how do you pronounce professionella? Thanks
i find the sound so poor that it sounds more like a t than a p at the beginning
In professionell "ss" sounds like a heavy "sss", but in professionella it sounds like "h"..why is it different??
