"Skorna är små."

Translation: The shoes are small.

[Kreilyn]

Waht is the diference between små and lilla ?

[Berniebud]

"Lilla" is the definite form of "Liten", while "Små" is the plural form of "Liten".

You would use "Lilla" in something like "Det lilla äpplet", and "Små" in "Små äpplen"

[S.M.94]

Is there a definite form for små ?

[Anrui]

"Små" remains the same in both definite and indefinite

[HannahCrus]

I knew this already thanks to IKEA!

I am SO confused about all the lilla/liten/små etc usage.. does anyone have a chart?

[MikkoVedru]

Here is an excellent explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_grammar#Articles_and_definite_forms

Read it.

Here is a chart I made for myself:

• en liten pojke (a little boy),
• ett litet barn (a little child),
• den lille pojken (the little boy),
• det lilla barnet (the little child),
• många små pojkar (many little boys),
• många små barn (many little children),
• de små pojkarna (the little boys),
• de små barnen (the little children), So, små is used in plural, while lilla is used in definite form

Wondering about difference between lille and lilla?

"The -e ending is strictly masculine. It's a remnant from when Swedish still made that grammatical difference, but today can only be used for actual masculinities. The -a ending can be used for anyone, though, and is by far the most common. I recommend sticking to it if at all unsure (so you can refer to a little boy as "den lilla pojken")."

[jstnc]

how do you know when to pronounce an "s" like "sh"?

[Zmrzlina]

When there is an RS combination, even across a space between letters.

Ahaaa! Tusen tack.
