Site where Swedish 'en' and 'ett' nouns listed separately?
Hi! I need your help to say me any links where Swedish 'en' and 'ett' nouns are listed separately. Just this way i don't mix them up, when they are systematized in this way. I looked for such list in many Swedish where one can learn Swedish but i failed to find one with nouns listed like this. Maybe anybody knows such a link? please help me!
thank you for reading my message
Do the list by your own, you will learn much!
Yes it's true Guest111, you can't really force your brain to memorize those words from a list. I did it too and it's really better because you learn step-by-step as soon as you discover a new word, you take a piece of paper, separate it into two part en-ord/ett-ord, and it's done!
You do not need such a list.
Learn each word WITH its definite article, as if it were part of the it.
For instance, memorize "bilen, kvinnan, tidningen, hemmet, tåget, landet etc. " instead of "bil, kvinna, tidning, hem, tåg, land".
(Remember that Swedish nouns are more often used with their definite article than without it.)
As you can see on a map of Stockholm:
- Drottninggatan = "THE Queen Street"
- Vasastaden = "THE Wasa City"
- Västerbron = "THE Western Bridge"
- Universitetet = "THE University"
- Stadshuset = "THE Town Hall"
- Östersjön = "THE Baltic Sea"
- Skansen = "THE Citadel"
Etc.
Soon you will realize that intuitively guessing the gender of nouns is the easiest part of Swedish. Really!
That's actually a good tip for many languages. It works for Spanish, Romanian, French, German, etc.
A good knowledge of German is a great introduction to Scandinavian languages, it helps a lot, keep the roots in mind BUT forget the German genders, they can be VERY misleading!
Very many Ger. masc. nouns are NEUTER in Swedish:
- der Zug ? tåget
- der Wein ? vinet
- der Berg ? berget
- der Begriff ? begreppet
etc.
More rarely, Ger. neuter nouns are not in Swedish (e.g. das Stern ? stjärnan)
Thank you all for your advices I will follow it and feel at the moment much more sure i can do that :)) but in case you have more ideas you are always welcome!
