Väljien

Väljien refers to a concept in Swedish culture and language, particularly in relation to the linguistic phenomenon of determiners or articles. In Swedish, there are two definite article forms, also known as "väljien", which are used to indicate the grammatical case of a noun.

The use of väljien is a distinctive feature of the Swedish language, as it is not found in other Germanic languages like English. There are two forms of the definite article, "den" and "det", which are used for masculine and neuter nouns, respectively. However, when talking about plural nouns in the nominative or accusative case, Swedish uses a form of "väljien", which changes depending on whether the noun begins with a vowel or consonant.

For plural nouns starting with a vowel, the form "sådana" is used. For plural nouns starting with a consonant, the form "sådana där" is used, but the form "dagars" is used in informal and spoken language to refer to the plural nouns starting with a consonant.
