2011 July 6, “En- och ett-ord [Common and neuter words]”, in Språket, Sveriges Radio:Jag funderar över hur man vet om ett ord är ett ett-ord eller en-ord (neutrum eller utrum)? Har det någon betydelse vilken bokstav ordet börjar och/eller slutar på?- I’m wondering how you can tell if a word is an ett-word or an en-word (neuter or common gender)? Does it matter which letter the word starts or ends with?
