Usage notes

 * "A/ kind(s) of X" is expressed as "en/ 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 "sorts" determine the gender rather than "sort," for example saying "ett sorts hus" rather than "en sorts hus." See this question to Språket on Sveriges Radio.
