37 CardsLesson#1
In Swedish, talking about what you do for a living follows a distinct pattern: you leave out the indefinite article. In this deck, you'll learn to ask and answer questions about professions and describe where people work using the right prepositions.
Lesson#2
To state someone's profession with 'är', Swedish doesn't use a word for 'a' or 'an'. You say 'jag är lärare' for 'I am a teacher', using 'lärare' directly. For doctor, the word is 'läkare', so 'hon är läkare' means 'she is a doctor'.
Quiz#3
Translate into Swedish: 'I am a teacher.'
Jag är lärare
Quiz#4
Translate into Swedish: 'She is a doctor.'
Hon är läkare
Lesson#5
Two other common occupational words work the exact same way without an article. 'Student' means student, and 'pensionär' means pensioner or retiree. For example, 'jag är pensionär' means 'I am a pensioner'.
Quiz#6
Speaking to a friend, translate into Swedish: 'Are you a student?'
Är du student?
