Admit it. You\u2019ve been on Facebook and thought the exact same thing as everyone starts fawning over the newest addition to your world. It happens. Don\u2019t be ashamed. But don\u2019t say it out loud either. Unless you can say it in another language that the parents might not understand. Like Swedish. So let\u2019s learn how to make exclamatory proclamations like \u201cwhat an ugly baby!\u201d<\/p>\n
Just like in English, we can exclaim our surprise or love or disdain or whatever in Swedish using the \u201cwhat a\/n\u201d or \u201chow adjective\u201d form. It\u2019s really pretty straightforward. We can choose between vad<\/em> or vilken<\/em>\/vilket<\/em>\/vilka<\/em>.<\/p>\n If we choose vad<\/em>, we\u2019ll start with vad<\/em>, add an adjective or adverb, and then maybe include a subordinate clause (if we feel like it). For example:<\/p>\n You\u2019ll notice that all of the examples follow the rule vad<\/em> + adjective or adverb + subordinate clause (if we need it). Vad kul<\/em> doesn\u2019t need a subordinate clause so we just leave it be.<\/p>\n Our next option is vilken<\/em>\/vilket<\/em>\/vilka<\/em>. Here we follow a similar pattern. This time we\u2019ll start with vilken<\/em>\/vilket<\/em>\/vilka<\/em> add an adjective if we need it, throw in a noun, and maybe end with a subordinate clause. It sounds complicated. It\u2019s not. Check it out:<\/p>\n As usual, vilken<\/em>\/vilket<\/em>\/vilka<\/em> is going to depend on en<\/em>, ett<\/em>, or plural. En hund<\/em>, ett hus<\/em>, tv\u00e5 skor<\/em>. Vilken<\/em>, vilket<\/em>, vilka<\/em>. But the rules stand. Vilken\/vilket\/vilka<\/em> + adjective (if we want it) + noun + subordinate clause (if we need it).<\/p>\n Not bad, right? Now you can start making grand exclamations in Swedish. Or just petty ones about all those baby pictures on Facebook. And so, finally, what an ugly baby\u2026 vilken ful bebis<\/em>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Admit it.
