Obviously wrong

"Gott" is when "god" describes an "-ett" word. (also the adverbial form) They are the same word, both "gott" and "god" carry the meaning "good" (as opposed to 'evil') and "tasty".
(it was spelled "godt" in the old days)

@TheYellowDragon Like that example If you have word that is like ett bröd( a bread)
when there is "ett" its ett bröd Àr gott (food is good)
because ett bröd means needs gott(ett) not god (en)

@krisiliina Thank you for your explanation, but I already knew the difference between "en" and "ett" words. My question was for @Opyuanspuumni because his/her answer didn't have anything to do with the question that had been asked by @EpicBob777

@TheYellowDragon what is the difference between "en" and "ett" words? Is there something important I should know?
- English (US)

@EpicBob777 I think you probably know these rules.
We know that there is no downright rule as to how one can differentiate between "en" and "ett" words. You just have to learn every word with its prefix. but, around 80% of the Swedish words have an "en" prefix.
Now, Adjectives get conjugated when a word has a "en" or "ett" prefix or the word is in plural or has a definite form. For example;
"A red car" will get translated into "En röd bil"
"A red house" will have the following translation; "Ett rött hus"
If we follow the rule mentioned above, we'll get the following translations for the following sentences.
Several red cars- Flera röda bilar
Several red houses- Flera röda hus
The red car- Den röda bilen
The red house- Det röda huset
That's all đ

It's not really a big difference between the two words, it's grammatical.
"God" is good
Maten var GOD (the food was good) or Du Àr en God vÀn (you are a good friend)
"Gott" is also translated to good
Det hÀr smakade GOTT (this tastes good)
These two words are used in many different ways in Sweden.
Gott om plats
Maten smakar gott
Det hÀr Àr en GOD glass
Idag gjorde jag en GOD gÀrning.
God morgon
God natt
Hope this can helt you in anyway.

@tina87 Maten Àr god, menade dig? Maten Àr "gott" Àr orÀtt eller har det dÀr sÀrskilt menande i Sverige?
Was this answer helpful?
- Swedish
"Maten Àr god" is present time (the food is good)
"Maten var God" is past tense (the food was good)
"Maten smakar gott"(the food tastes good) Àr rÀtt men "maten Àr gott" Àr fel i Sverige.
Gott och god Àr grammatiskt olika men alla skulle förstÄ dig om du sa "maten Àr gott".

@Ecclesiastes5_12 an adjective 's "-t" form is also the adverbial form, therefore "smakar gott".
