DET
: determiner
Definition
Determiners are words that modify nouns or noun phrases and express the reference of the noun phrase in context. Like adjectives, Swedish determiners typically agree with the noun they modify for gender and number, e.g. vår kost “our diet” (common singular), vårt samhälle “our society” (neuter singular), våra åsikter “our opinions” (plural).
Examples
- Articles: en “a/an”, ett “a/an”, den “the”, det “the”, de “the”
- Possessive determiners: min “my” as in min bil “my car”, deras “their” as in deras attityder “their attitudes”, ditt jobb “your job”
- Demonstrative determiners: detta “this/that” as in hela detta nätverk “this whole network”
- Interrogative determiners: vilket “which/what” as in vilket samband finns? “what relation is there?”
- Relative determiners: vilken “which/what” as in komma ihåg vilken tidning det var “remember which newspaper it was”
- Indefinite determiners: någon “any/some” as in det har inte gjorts någon undersökning “there hasn’t been any investigation”
- Totality determiners: alla “all”
- Negative determiners: ingen “no” as in han behöver ingen hjälp “he needs no help”
