Hjälp Adjectives declination

Post by Adriaan »

Help.

I thought I'd understood how declining adjectives worked:
Gendered: no change
Neuter: end with "t"
Plural: end with "a"

However, saw this example
"Det är det självklara valet"

Why is it "självklara" and not "självklart" ?
Thanks for the help

It's because of the definite article. With the indefinite article it would be "Det är ett självklart val." It's not really an explanation, just how it works.

Other examples:

  • Jag ser ett stort hus.

  • Jag ser det stora huset.

  • Jag ser en stor byggnad.

  • Jag ser den stora byggnaden.
