"Jag bygger hus"

Translation: I build houses

[yared84]

Is there a way to distinguish between "I build houses" and "I build (a) house"? Since no adjectives are present one cannot be 100% sure.

[Zmrzlina]

It it were just one house, it would have the indefinite article ett.

[yared84]

Is this rule valid all the time?

[Zmrzlina]

As far as I can imagine, yes.

[Boddason]

Just to be sure: I doesn't work the same way as "Jag köper bil."?

[Taek8]

Bra fråga, fast hus är ett ett-ord. Det heter ett hus - flera hus, men en bil - flera bilar.

[jxxmxxj]

Wouldn't it be "Jag köper bilar" or "Jag köper en bil"?

[RigelIcarus]

Is there no plural for houses? It's just house?

[Taek8]

ett-words with only one syllable usually look the same in sigular and plural.
