Adjektiivillä

Adjektiivillä is a Swedish grammatical term referring to the inflection of adjectives. In Swedish, adjectives typically agree in gender, number, and definiteness with the noun they modify. This means the ending of the adjective changes to match the noun. For example, "en stor bil" (a big car) uses the indefinite form of the adjective "stor" (big), while "den stora bilen" (the big car) uses the definite form. Similarly, "ett stort hus" (a big house) shows agreement with the neuter gender, and "stora hus" (big houses) shows agreement with the plural. The term "adjektiivillä" encompasses these various forms of adjective agreement. Understanding adjektiivillä is crucial for correct Swedish grammar and sentence construction, allowing for precise descriptions and clear communication. The system of adjective inflection ensures that the relationship between the adjective and the noun is clearly indicated within the sentence. This grammatical feature is a fundamental aspect of the Swedish language.
