      A desk = ett skrivbord

      The desk = skrivbordet

      Several desks = flera skrivbord

      The desks = skrivborden

        Ah, literally 'writetable', yes? That's rather cool, hah!

          Is this word at all related to the English board and Scots bord, meaning "table"?

          Yes, English "board" and Swedish bord are both derived from an eventual mutual root, but I wouldn't call them cognates. No idea about Scots, sorry. :)

          Is it related to the bord in smörgåsbord?
