Salut! Thanks for your welcome, Yann! I'll add a few swedish translations a little now and then. Maybe it will help me learn a little more french - it is right now restricted to very few words :/ So, that's my excuse for answering you in english... Mike 7 fév 2005 à 11:54 (UTC)

Swedish translations

Hi Mike, Thanks for your translations in Swedish. I have 2 questions: what are the 4 adjectives for ? What is the gender of the noun ? Yann 15 mar 2005 à 07:19 (UTC)

Swedish adjectives... not funny :) Well, I'm not sure if I should only add the "uninflected" form or all of them. Basically, if the noun is in "plural" OR it is a "common" in definite form (in almost all cases), the adjective should end with "-a". The exception being if the noun (in singular, definite form common) refers to a male (which is not quite the same as saying that it is "masculine", which - btw - is a subset of the "commons"), because then the adjective ends in "-e". If the noun is "neuter" and in singular, indefinite form, it should end in "-t". "Common" in singular, indefinite form gives the "basic form"...

So, I don't know. Should such info be included in the translations table (in the article with the french word), in the article about the swedish word, or should the reader be shown a wikipedia article about swedish grammar? What do you think? \Mike 16 mar 2005 à 04:41 (UTC)

I think we should add as much information as possible, unless the information is already easily available elsewhere. So it depends, if the forms are regular or if there are exceptions, if all adjectives have these forms or only some of them. The question is what information are needed for someone who wants to learn Swedish or who looks for a reference (f.e. a translator). For example, I think that declensions of the German nouns are needed, if this is a valid analogy. But as I don't know Swedish, it's difficult for me to give an useful advice.

Then I don't think I'll add those inflections anymore, and instead refer to the "basic form", unless they're irregularly inflected, as you say. When it comes to nouns, well, that's a completely different story - there are some regularities... perhaps to create a few "example inflections" and then to point to which "rule" this or that word is inflected according to... \Mike 16 mar 2005 à 11:15 (UTC)
