	Actually I thought "мука" in Russian was feminine and singular... But Russian has a number of 'singularia tantum', i.e. singular words that refer to a heap of small things. One category that might be worth considering are fruits and vegetables. In Danish you buy 'kartofler' in plural (as 'potatoes' in English), in Russian you apparently buy 'катрофель' in singular. We do have such words in the Nordic languages, but the distribution is not the same as in Russian. For example 'cream' is as singular as can be in Danish: 'fløde', but plural in Russian: 'сливки'. The same applies to ink: "blæk" in Danish, 'чернила' in Russian. 1 person has voted this message useful

	Yes, that was the point.. It has a plural "муки" While in Swedish it has no plural. And there are lots of words like that in Swedish. I am trying to learn the Russian plural and while I do that, I "discover" that it has no plural in Swedish, however in English, most of the time, it does... So my conclusion is that Swedish (and probably all Scandi) langs hoave an unusually high proportion of words that have no plural. 1 person has voted this message useful

	(Äh, jag tröttnar snart på att försöka skriva svenska i Firefox. Varje gång jag knappar in Alt-134 för att få till bokstaven å så hoppar den bakåt i sidhistoriken och sabbar allt jag skrivit dittills. Måste först skriva ett å i någon annan applikation och sedan använda paste i stället.) Till saken: Pluralformen av "mjöl" är "mjöler" på svenska, och används för att referera till olika mjölsorter. I andra sammanhang är "mjöl" ett mängdord och har ingen pluralform. Ett liknande fall är "frö", som har två olika pluralformer: "frön" om antal individuella frön; ett frö, två frön osv. eller "fröer" när det gäller olika frösorter. 1 person has voted this message useful

	Hencke glöm Alt-134! Om du har Windows: gå till Regional settings i Control Panel Titta noga på alla flikar så ser du hur du ENKELT kan installera svenskt tangentbord. När du har gjort det så kan du sedan ställa in Windows så att du behåller ditt vanliga tangentboard som default, men du kan trycka en kombination, tex Control Shift för att rotera till svenskt. Du kan installera så många du vill. Mitt default tangentbord är brittisk-engelskt, men jag kan superlätt rotera till svenskt, ryskt eller tyskt. Det enda jag måste komma ihåg är att det FYSISKA tangentbordet inte längre stämmer men det gör inget, jag vet var å ä och ö sitter på det svenska tangentbordet. Det finns faktiskt tom ett finlandssvenskt tangentbord i Windows och jag har länge undrat hur det skiljer sig från normal svenskt.
