IKEA was founded in 1943<\/u>.<\/p>\n
In Swedish, you express this slightly differently; namely, you leave out the preposition “in”<\/strong>. The same sentences is said in Swedish as this:<\/p>\n IKEA grundades 1943<\/span>.<\/em><\/p>\n In other words, it would be wrong<\/span> to say *i 1943<\/em>. The same goes for\u00a0if you choose to add the word for “year”, \u00e5r<\/em>:<\/p>\n IKEA was founded in the year 1943<\/span>. Notice that the article “the” is not translated into Swedish in this case<\/strong>. In other words, it is incorrect<\/span> to say *IKEA grundades \u00e5ret<\/span> 1943<\/em>.<\/p>\n Just as in English, you can also say “during the year 1943”, but the article “the” is, again, not translated:<\/p>\n IKEA grundades under \u00e5r 1943<\/span>.<\/em> Now you know how to talk about specific years in Swedish.
