Abstract nouns _(a noun denoting an idea, quality, or state rather than a
concrete object)_ in French [and other Romance languages] use definite
articles prior to the noun—unlike English. I.e. C'était _le_ _SORT_ qui nous
a réunis = It was FATE that brought us together.

- "A/ <count> kind(s) of X" is expressed as "en/ <count> sort(er)s X," and "what kind(s) of X" as "vad för sorts X."
- Though traditionally considered incorrect, many native speakers will intuitively let the noun after [sv] determine the gender rather than [sv] , for example saying "ett sorts [sv] " rather than "en sorts hus". See this question (see https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/4589565) to Språket on Sveriges Radio.
