"The judge works at the supreme court."

Translation: Domaren arbetar på högsta domstolen.

[Jonathan606349]

Not "den" högsta domstolen?

[Arnauti]

In things that are names or like names, we often skip the article before adjective + determinate noun.

Thanks! That's about what I figured, but wasn't sure.

[Segwyne]

Does domstolen literally translate as the seat of judgement?

[vogliocapire]

According to Zmrzlina in another thread, Yes

[Keeletaat]

Can anyone explain when one uses "den" with definite articles and when not?

[devalanteriel]

You would normally always use the definite article in this kind of expression, since you have an adjective describing a noun. This is an exception only since högsta domstolen is the name of the institution, so högsta is grammatically speaking part of the noun rather than an adjective describing it.

[Keeletaat]

Thanks for explaining!
