よくある間違い
Do not use the infinitive marker 'att' with a nominalized noun. It's either the verb or the noun.
Don't use the abstract noun as an adjective. 'Snabbhet' is 'speed' (the concept), 'snabb' is 'fast'.
Nouns ending in -ing are almost always 'en' words. -ande/-ende words are often 'ett' words. Mixing these up is a common gender error.
