"En viktig hamn i väster"

Translation: An important port in the west

[MissMuse]

Gothenburg again? :)

[sonicdale99]

In english, the words port and harbor are used interchangeably, even though they really aren't the same word. In swedish, is it the same? Hamn is used so?

[person222222]

What's the difference between väst and väster?

[pasikaunisto]

Late, but they mean the same.

[Ehsan.1984]

väster? the west? is it an en word or an ett one? I dont get the role of er here

[Zmrzlina]

Väst and väster mean the same, the west. It's just two similar words for the same thing.

[Ehsan.1984]

ok, thanks, but how do Swedish simply say west?

[Zmrzlina]

Depends on what you mean... adverb or noun?

[Ehsan.1984]

oh it is getting complicated :) can you please tell me both of them? do we only add one T to make adverb something like västt?!

[Zmrzlina]

No, adjectives and adverbs that already end on -t never get one more.

Väst and väster can both be used as the noun west.

For the location/direction west, you can use västra (western), väster (west) or västerut (to the west).

[Alkrem]

[en vikti hamn]?

[devalanteriel]

Yup. An ending g is very often silent in everyday speech. I can hear faint traces of it in the TTS, but it's quite right to leave it out.

[Alkrem]

Thanks!

Portland represent

[AnaBird2]

Nearly put "in the right" then realised: vänster and väster

[binbinmeng]

Why do we have “the” in this translation, but in “Väster om sjön“， we translate “West of the lake“ without a “the“ before “west“，please？Thank you.

'Major port' is better English than 'important port'
