Frequently asked questions
What level are these lists for?
They start with everyday beginner topics. If you're new to Swedish, begin with greetings and basics, then move on to food and family.
What do en and ett mean next to a word?
Swedish nouns are either en-words or ett-words, and the article and endings follow from that. There's no reliable rule for which is which, so learn each noun together with its gender. ett-words are highlighted because they're the minority.
How should I study a list?
Read the example sentence, not just the word. A word met in a sentence sticks far better than one memorised alone, and the sentence shows you how it's actually used.
