What’s really going to frustrate you is when you notice that the plural form of “The + noun” is even more annoying.

stolen (the chair)
stolarna (the chairs)
katten (the cat)
katterna (the cats)
skolan (the school)
skolorna (the schools)
pojken (the boy)
pojkarna (the boys)

husen (the houses)
borden (the tables)
barnen (the children)
kvittona (the receipts)

Also, in english “the boys” is both plural and possessive. In Swedish, it’s not possessive, so you have to add an s to make it possessive.

The boys(singular possessive) ball = Pojkens boll
The boys(plural possessive) ball = Pojkarnas boll

Another thing is that it’s not really consistent, so it’s easy to get confused :P

handENS = Singular definitive
äpplENS = Plural indefinitive
bordENS = Plural definitive
