"Det är precis samma färg."

Translation: It is exactly the same color.

[mskiwoeli]

shouldn't "precis" end with a "t" since it's an adverb?

[Zmrzlina]

Good question. I'm afraid I can offer no better explanation than that precis just doesn't change when becoming an adverb.

[Mercalyn]

Slightly confused about this, where is the "the?"

Would "Det är precis den samma färgen" work?

[Zmrzlina]

No, the word samma will never accept definiteness in what it's describing. It's an exception in that way.

[sustained]

Do you know if there exists a definitive list of these exceptions somewhere?

[Zmrzlina]

I don't know. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will provide a link somehow, or perhaps it's googleagle.

I heard "farg" as "varg" and it was marked correct!
It is exactly the same wolf!

[Finlandia1865]

Wouldn't "precis" also mean precisely?

[JYH6UtXB]

Can I use 'precis' to mean 'precisely,' or is it better used for 'exactly?' Also, why not use 'exakt' here instead of 'precis?' And, if 'precis' isn't good for 'precisely,' what is?

[MariekeGro]

Was färg also paint or not?

[Zmrzlina]

Yes. If you want to be specific, you can also say målarfärg.

[MariaDeLau]

Is "the" in "samma"?

[Zmrzlina]

Samma will never be used together with definites.

[TanyaBasto]

The German equivalent of "precis" is: "gerade"

So precisely in German is:
Präzis/e = exakt/a

And exactly:
Exakt = exakt

What does samma translate to same or the same?

[LubomrVrna]

May I ask, "it is exactly same color" is not correct in English?
