Im a swede watching this and learning the difference, fastän jag använder alla de olika orden nästan varje dag och aldrig tänkt på hur de skiljer sig beroende på olika situationer!😂😂🤦

”ingenting” (nothing) could have been included in this episode.

[@jasonlove8733]

It is interesting that Ingen is pronounced as ING YEN so the g letter has two sounds… the final g in Ing and the beginning Y for Yen. Same goes for inget as ING YET!! and the Swedish k has a SH SOUND😎🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪❤️❤️

Does verbs have noun form in Swedish? Like 'walk' and 'walking'

[@omaralrifaie8257]

Perfect, thank you so much!

[@Fortunalux]

Hej Mark och Lovisa! Could you/would you ever say "har inte en/ett" with a noun rather than "har ingen/inget"?

[@coffeebreaklanguages]

Hello! In that situation we'd have to add either "någon", "något", or "några" - "jag har ingen bil" becomes "jag har inte någon bil", "jag har inget jobb" becomes "jag har inte något jobb", and "jag har inga syskon" becomes "jag har inte några syskon". You add "någon" for en-words, "något" for ett-words, and "några" for plural as soon as you want to use "inte" instead of "ingen"/inget"/"inga". Hope this helps!

@@coffeebreaklanguages That makes perfect sense - thank you!
