"Det finns mer mat."

Translation: There is more food.

[bepisTM]

There's always more food. Always.

[kiteo]

Not in a house with three other siblings there wasn’t!

[RAlberdi]

Could I build a question just putting the verb first?

Finns det mer mat?= Is there more food?

[Arnauti]

That's the way to do it.

[RAlberdi]

Tack!

[Silsool]

Aren't those adjectives?

[Lundgren8]

No, mat is a noun.

[cvictoria42]

But isn't "mer" and adjective describing "mat"?

[BillofKempsey]

Certainly, I would say that here "more" is an adjective describing "food". Sometimes it is an adverb, when it qualifies an adjective or another adverb - more important or more quickly.

[ErixTheRed]

Could this mean "it is more food"? Like, " What is that?" "It's more food."

[Zmrzlina]

That sentence would rather translate to "det är mer mat". Here, it's "det finns", which in this sentence translates to "there are/is".

When to use mer or fler????

[henmcb]

This should help!

[Andeee77]

henmcb you rule! Have a lingot!!!! :)

[henmcb]

Tack!

[danielm9443]

mer is quantity and fler is specific or typical (depends on context).....more food vs. several types of food

[adrianxu_]

Why is: "there are more food " wrong ?

[RAlberdi]

In English you use "there is" with uncountable nouns, such as food.
