"I want to do something fun."

Translation: Jag vill göra något kul.

[Lakaren57]

Why wouldnt we use "att göra"? Is it not used with 'vill'?

[Arnauti]

Right, att isn't used with modal verbs such as vill. Some more about when to use att or not here: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/7075383

What's the difference between gör and göra?

[devalanteriel]

• göra is the infinitive
• gör is the present tense (and also the imperative)

[GlennaJo]

Why not roligt?

[devalanteriel]

That is an excellent translation.

[Ortiz.Gab]

When do i use vill and when vill ha??

What about någonting

[Anrui]

Någonting - Nånting - Något & Nåt are all the same thing.

[adjusting]

And yet nåt is not accepted in this exercise.

[devalanteriel]

Report it then. :)

[Berniebud]

That works too.

[snowdrop7j]

Can we use kul in this sentance or it works only as a noun?

[devalanteriel]

Sure, that's perfectly fine. :)

[snowdrop7j]

Thanks a lot!:)

[fatihsefil]

why 'mysigt" is not accepted

[devalanteriel]

That means "cosy".

[leonardharpster]

I've failed with "jag vill göra någonting rolig". I'll report it, but I'm worried that I'm wrong on account of sounding unidiomatic; what do y'all think?

[devalanteriel]

någonting is an ett-word, so you need the ett-word form roligt.

[Marjolijn643666]

So why is the translation "något kul", than, and not "något kult" like I had, following the ett-rule? Obviously that is wrong. Något is an ett-word too, isn't it, or am I wrong here?

[devalanteriel]

kul is irregular - the kult form is technically grammatical but you'll never see it. We use kul for the neuter gender as well.

[JoseeV64]

I wrote något kult and the owl accepted it without remarks. Now I see above that it is något kul. Is kult wrong? What is the difference?

[devalanteriel]

kult does exist as a very rare, mostly very colloquial form. We don't actually accept it, so you were let through with a typo.

A kult (short vowel instead) is a "cult" though.

[JoseeV64]

I thought that "fun" acted as an adjective and I had to add a "t", but apparently I was thinking wrong. However, I should have written något roligt with a "t". I think I don't understand what "fun"/kul is anymore. Is it an adjective, an adverb or a noun?

Duo didn't mark it as a typo.

[devalanteriel]

It's an adverb in this case, although the same logic applies to the adjective.

Yes, the typo system has been having problems for a while now...

[JoseeV64]

Thanks for your answer. I think I was too tired yesterday, because I only now see that Marjolijn above had the same question as I had and that you had already explained that kul is an irregular adjective.

[devalanteriel]

Haha, no worries. I didn't notice either. :)
