"En röd bok"

Translation: A red book

[schyrsivochter]

Probably the Red Book of Westmarch.

[blauerKobold]

[HellasSparta]

Or the communist manifesto

[Dr.Cristina]

why "en röd bok"? Is wrong if i say "En rött bok"?

[Arnauti]

The adjective changes with the gender of the noun. bok is an en word so it is en röd bok.
ett brev is an ett word so it would be ett rött brev 'a red letter'
In the plural, the form is röda, e.g. röda bilar 'red cars'

[Dr.Cristina]

Tack så mycket !

[navyajapani]

The röd in the sentence sounds like ja.. Can someone please explain?

[Elysaph]

if you put it to play slower you can see it sounds like röd.
It's probably just a robotic bug. I don't know.

It sounds right, but the Swedish 'r' is different from English and the 'd' is also a lighter sound at the end of a word. Here "röd" is pronounced by itself clearly: http://lexin.nada.kth.se/sound/v2/303975_1.mp3
You can look up other words here also and press on LYSSNA (listen): http://lexin.nada.kth.se/lexin/#searchinfo=both,swe_swe,r%C3%B6d;

In speech, coming after "en" the 'n' seems to eat some of the 'r' sound.

It would be great if a Swedish person could add that phrase to Forvo to listen to: http://sv.forvo.com/search/en%20r%C3%B6d%20bok/no/

I found this video on Swedish pronunciation of Swedish consonants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYj7SDuAAv0
