Help with Swedish sentences...
Och den vuxna är glad över att träffa en klok människa.
Jag talar i stället som den vuxna.
In the above sentences, what does the "den" mean ?
I can't find a rule for why a noun needs to have 'den' in front of it when it has no adjective?

In Swedish, you can use adjectives as nouns similarly to how you would in English. When doing so, you use the definite article (singular or plural) along with the adjective as you do in English. For example, you will commonly see "de gamla" ("the old"), "de rika" ("the rich"), etc. I would translate your example as "I speak instead like the grown (person)." Hope that helps. :)
