DECLENSIONS [1]
Well, it is hard to remember which noun is which type. However, it is important for mastering Swedish. Using the wrong declension will be noticed. Always learn a new noun by repeatedly saying like: "en glosa, flera glosor" (one translated word, several translated words) and you will build up a proper grammatical vocabulary.
Gender: Common nouns are labeled type 1. and neuter nouns are labeled type 2.
Plural types are labeled: 1x-8x, where x is the declension sub type.

Regular nouns type 1.2c (-ar)
| en vinkel, flera vinklar | an angle, several angles (geometry) |
| en ängel, flera änglar | an angle, several angles (heavenly) |
| en tistel, flera tistlar | a thistle, several thistles |
Regular nouns type 1.2d (-ar)
| en kateder, flera katedrar | a teacher's desk, several teacher's desks |
| en tjäder, flera tjädrar | a cappercaillie, several cappercaillies |

| en musikal, flera musikaler | a musical, several musicals |
Irregular nouns type 2.3b (-er)

for type 1.9a you may also use plural form browsrar (type 1d declination) for a better adaption to Swedish.
Example Sentances

Example Text
Till lektionerna behöver ni ta mer er pennor, sudd, anteckningsböcker samt era bärbara datorer. Mobiltelefonerna får vara påslagna, men jag vill inte höra några ringsignaler och heller inte att ni sitter och pratar i era telefoner under lektionstimmarna. Om någon bryter mot detta kommer vederbörande få svåra extrauppgifter som måste lösas för att få godkänt i mina ämnen.
To the lessons you need to bring pencils, erasers, note books and your lap tops. Cellular phones may be turned on but I don't want to hear any signals and neither that you talk in your phones during the lessons. If somebody violates this, that person will receive difficult extra tasks which needs to be solved in order to graduate in my subjects.
