We all know our en and ett words by now right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
ett hus<\/td>\nen bil<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ett \u00e4pple<\/td>\nen familj<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ett bord<\/td>\nen flodh\u00e4st<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ett skrivbord<\/td>\nen penna<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ett n\u00e4bbdjur<\/td>\nen telefon<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

There’s no real rule to knowing the en and ett words (except that there are many more en words than ett words so when in doubt…), but as you continue to learn Swedish, they become more and more important.<\/p>\n

For example, if we want to turn those words into the definite, we need to know if they are en or ett words.<\/p>\n

Ett hus in definite form becomes huset, and so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
ett djur<\/td>\ndjuret<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ett bord<\/td>\nbordet<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ett \u00e4pple<\/td>\n\u00e4pplet<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ett n\u00e4bbdjur<\/td>\nn\u00e4bbdjuret<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

For en words, we do something similar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
en bil<\/td>\nbilen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
en familj<\/td>\nfamiljen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
en flodh\u00e4st<\/td>\nflodh\u00e4sten<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
en penna<\/td>\npennan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
en telefon<\/td>\ntelefonen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

But what if we want to ask a question about those items? Which car is yours? Or maybe: which animal is your favorite? Then we need to use vilken or vilket.<\/p>\n

As I’m sure you’ve already guessed, vilken corresponds with the en words, vilket with the ett words, so:<\/p>\n

Vilken bil \u00e4r din?<\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

Vilket \u00e4r ditt favorit djur?<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s your turn, good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
