Learn Swedish noun gender together with every new word.
Grammar pathway — a separate, structured course that complements the practical Everyday Swedish lessons. Work through the lessons in order, or use the lesson menu to revisit a topic.
Most Swedish nouns use either <em>en</em> or <em>ett</em>. There is no perfect rule that predicts every noun, so learn the article as part of the vocabulary item.
Think of the article as part of the word: learn en stol, not just stol; learn ett hus, not just hus.
Read the Swedish sentence first, then check the English meaning.
| Swedish | English |
|---|---|
| en bok | a book |
| en vän | a friend |
| en lägenhet | an apartment |
| ett hus | a house |
| ett barn | a child |
| ett jobb | a job |
When you save vocabulary, write the article beside the noun. Avoid trying to memorize long lists of nouns without en or ett.
