Lesson#1
In this deck, you will learn how to point out multiple people and things using Swedish plural demonstratives. In English, you use 'these' and 'those'. In Swedish, plural demonstratives are invariant, meaning the same form works for both common and neuter nouns.
Lesson#2
To say 'these', use 'de här'. In everyday spoken Swedish, 'de' is pronounced 'dom', so you say 'dom här'. In Swedish, demonstratives require double definiteness, which means the noun after 'de här' must always take its definite plural ending. For example, 'these cars' is 'de här bilarna'.
Quiz#3
Translate into Swedish: 'these cars'

de här bilarna

Quiz#4
Translate into Swedish: 'these books'

de här böckerna

Lesson#5
Because 'de här' is invariant, it works in exactly the same way with neuter nouns. You keep 'de här' and put the noun in its definite plural form. For example, 'these houses' is 'de här husen', and 'these apples' is 'de här äpplena'.
Quiz#6
Translate into Swedish: 'these houses'

de här husen
