Thanks for your cool video! I think it is very important when people share their knowledge and encourage other people to get to know different cultures more. It is so cooll that channels like Speak Swedish Stupid and Sweden channel exist on YouTube. Even if it a short video about Swedish massage it still makes you think about Sweden :D
Thank s a lot!

If you wanna be really picky grön without the t is actually the only correct way to say it in a sentence like that when you refering to the color only and not describing the color when it's on a thing, at least according to grammar, but as GoSwedish says we still use both ways so you may say it as you feel like and it will sound just as good.

Thank you for the lessons you have posted. I have a long drive to get to work, I listen to your posts as I drive. If anyone reading this would like to help me learn and correct my Swedish online, as in skype, or another web form, I would love the help. We could chat live online, and work on my Swedish? There are some things I would like to learn that I have not found yet, and I don't really trust the internet translator all that much

@GoSwedish - Thanks a lot for your reply :-) Now I've learned some more and of course, you are right, there is no such word like "liker" in Swedish, I guess I took it from Norwegian which I also listen to very often and sometimes I move the word from one language to another by mistake. Thank you :-) Du är verkligen trevlig och hjälpsam, tack så mycket!

@GoSwedish It seems to me that Swedes will also say "vackert" and "underbart" in comments, preferring the "t" ending. These are adjectives with no noun present to modify, so the "t" shouldn't matter. It's confusing because I don't know if it's meant as an adverb (beautifully, wonderfully) in that case instead of an adjective (beautiful, wonderful) or if it's just a writing/speaking preference. We'll see if any Swedish grammar scholars come along to help. : )

@GoSwedish I started learning Swedish with your videos last year and it's become a fun hobby since then, so thank you. I've been learning a lot by just reading Swedish comment sections on YouTube and blogs elsewhere. I bought a helpful book on grammar too. It seems that maybe the "t" ending is simply preferred? "Det" is the default for "it" if "den" is not required, so it's probably just a preference in the language without much meaning.
Jag förstår "ett grönt hus" för att det har "ett," och då "en grön bil" har "en." Men varför säger man, "Jag tycker om grönt" istället för "Jag tycker om grön"? Jag studerar svenska men har ingen aning om det. Om man säger, "Jag tycker om grön" på svenska, låter det konstigt eller?

@MillionthUsername Hej! Talar du svenska? Your Swedish here is very well written. I'll take this in English in case more people wish to know. You can absolutely say "Jag tycker om grön" and that won't be weird; the more you practice you will hear when something sounds odd or not. I do say you can say this sentence and that will be fine, you could also add: "Jag tycker om färgen grön" as in "I like the colour green" - do I complicate it all more now? Pardon!

@MillionthUsername I need to tell you that this does confuse me as well as I find it a little bit tricky to explain grammar, you know? I know it, of course as I am Swedish and it's my native language but to me it came naturally since a child so to explain the grammar is not easy for me; I am not a professional Swedish teacher, sadly. Although, what I do teach is what I do know, for sure. Hmm, yet how shall I explain why one would say "Grönt" instead of "Grön" ? ... *Looks to Google for answers*

@MillionthUsername With this all said, if someone else can help out and explain, we'd appreciate it! If you have a teacher who teaches you Swedish then surely he/she has the answers for grammar questions? I will be teaching more grammar on my channel which I know, but this one got me stuck and it's good that I admit that rather then make up lies; I say it like it is. You can trust me.
