"Pengarna ligger på bordet."

Translation: The money is on the table.

[Kreilyn]

Is money allways in plural in swedish?

[Lundgren8]

Yes! Swedish speakers often say the money are in English as a result.

[JoakimEk]

Mostly "pengar" means money, and is then always used in plural, and as an uncountable noun (e.g. "mycket pengar")

However, "en peng/pengar" can sometimes be used instead of "ett mynt/mynt" to mean a coin. Then it is a countable noun (e.g. "mång pengar"), however I think that sounds like something mostly used when talking to a child.

Also "peng" can sometimes be used, usually as a suffix, for a sum of money given to someone. For example a weekly allowance is "veckopeng". Then it is always singular (e.g. "stor peng", or indirect "mycket i/som veckopeng")

Can "på bordet" also mean figuratively? Like when someone is asking if an option is still "on the table"?

[Zmrzlina]

Sure.

[amateurasu]

Visa mig pengarna! Visa mig pengarna!

[WildSage]

Why was "The money is located on the table" considered wrong?

[JYH6UtXB]

Given how saucy the Swedish Tree is, I'm a little surprised it's not 'Pengarna ligger på byrån.' ;)
