"Farmor bor uppe på det höga berget."

Translation: Grandmother lives up on the high mountain.

[Arnauti]

[DeeC99]

this sounds slightly strange in English

why is it höga and not högt?

[Berniebud]

"Höga" is the definite form. Definite forms are used when the adjective is right before a definite noun.

In most cases definite forms are identical to plural forms.

Note that it's only used when the adjective is right before the definite noun, and not just whenever the noun it describes in the definite.

"Det höga berget"

but

"Berget är högt"
