Lo que aprenderás

Understanding the five plural declensions in Swedish. Students will learn the rules for making nouns plural.

  • Plural Endings (-or, -ar, -er)
    To make a Swedish noun plural, look at its ending and choose the right suffix: -or, -ar, or -er.
  • Plural Endings (-n, -)
    Check if your noun is 'en' or 'ett' and what it ends with to pick the right plural.
  • Definite Plural
    Don't say 'de flickor', just add -na to the end of the plural word!
  • Irregular Plurals
    Watch out for nouns that change their middle vowel or stay exactly the same in plural form.
