_Translated title = Svenska: En familj, familjen, familjer
_Put the word -EN- in front of the family word (ex: en broder) = A brother
_Put the word -EN- behind (ex: brodern -EN-) is put before -N- = THE brother
_En syster = A sister
_Systern = THE sister
_En fader = A father
_Fadern = THE father
_En moder = A mother
_Modern = THE mother
_NOTE: When you say mother's mother (Grandma / Grandmother), in Swedish it is said as MAMMAS MAMMA / MORS MOR... because Swedish grammar doesn't use apostrophes. Thus it makes the writing shorter. MORS MOR gets combined into one word as MORMOR.
_NOTE 2: Swedish word EN (bil) or ETT (hus) in the front of the word (is A, as in A car / A house). When it's behind, BILEN / HUSET... it means THE (the car, the house). For more go to my websites.
_EN bil = A car
_bilen = the car
_ETT hus = A house
_huset = the house
