So is there a adjectives ordering rule in Swedish as well? Hi Anna, this brought back memory of my early English learning days with “a big blue house” vs “a blue big house”.

I really can only offer this suggestion, in regards to Swedish not making grammatical "sense", when one is just starting to learn. Don't fight it, that's just how it is and has been, it will not change to make sense in English as most of us would want it too. I gave up long ago, trying to make exact translations or understand why it is so, I just go with the flow now. It makes it less frustrating and I find I'm getting use to it and accept that it is what it is "Swedish". Enjoy, it will come easier if one doesn't make it unnecessarily harder than it has to be. Lycka till to all who like me are learning and loving in Swedish! Grammar is so complicated and annoying to me in any language.

Which would indeed be a problem for those who have been led to believe that the difference between definite and indefinite can be summed up in an article or suffix, instead of being a property a word has regardless of marking. But just ignore that. It's probably simpler just to say "it's the rules"! The noun that follows IS definite, it’s just not marked on the noun.
