He knows when to use a/an. This is a common Scandinavian 'problem', inherited from German(?). All nouns have a "gender", German has three (masculin, feminin and neuter), in Swedish/Danish/Norwegian (and probably more languages) we have two. In Swedish they are called "reale" (amalgamation of masculin and feminin) and "neutrum" (neuter). There are some general rules when to apply which, but there are loads of exceptions and seemingly arbitrary classifications. > >> ligheder is maybe like "Gleichheiten"? > > > >It's exactly like Gleichheiten. Also like "likenesses": lig- -> like-, -hed- -> -ness-, -er -> -es. English "-ness" is "-het" in Swedish, "-hed" in Danish and "-heit" in German.

(in non-ASCII: "t�sk"). In my opinion it would be very hard for someone neither German nor Danish to distinguish between a German saying "t�sk" and a Dane saying "tysk", I'd say you're as close as germanly possible :). obascii: __ / \ / | | / / | / / ( O| ) \ // O \_| Possibly the worst ascii-rendition of Sweden ever..
