Swedish is one of many languages which has grammatical gender. Standard Swedish (Rikssvenska) has two genders, common and neuter. Each gender determines the use of things like plural endings, definite article endings and indefinite articles, as well as the gender of the adjective it is being described by. Here are some examples of the effects of Gender upon Swedish.

Examples:

Common Gender:

en hund, en kudde, en katt, en lärare, en bok, en lampa

hunden, kudden, katten, läraren, boken, lampan

hundar, kuddar, katter, lärare, böcker, lampor

hundarna, kuddarna, katterna, lärarna, böckerna, lamporna

vs

Examples:

Neuter Gender:

ett hus, ett fönster, ett strå, ett öga

huset, fönstret, strået, ögat

hus, fönster, strån, ögon

husen, fönstren, stråna, ögonen

There is no set rules to tell which gender a noun belongs to, but there is a few loose guidelines to help you guess. Living things, seasons/festivals and nouns ending in a, ­ad, ­are, ­dom, ­het, ­ing, ­ion or ­lek are just about always common. Most inanimate objects, nouns ending in ­em, ­iv, ­eum or ­ium and names of geographical locations are just about always neuter.
