Verbs with prepositions

In Swedish, many verbs require a preposition to convey the intended meaning. These prepositions can often change the entire meaning of the verb, making it crucial to learn them. Below are some common examples:

Swedish Pronunciation English
titta på ti-'ta po to look at/watch
tänka på 'tɛŋka po to think about
prata med 'pra:ta mɛd to talk with
lyssna på 'lʏs:-na po to listen to
vänta på 'vɛn:-ta po to wait for
komma tillbaka 'kɔma tiɫ ba-'ka to come back
tro på tru: po to believe in
drömma om 'drœm:-ma om to dream about
räkna med 'rɛŋk:-na mɛd to count on

Note that in Swedish, the preposition and verb always stay together, unlike in English, where they may be separated. For example, in the English phrase "to look at something," the preposition "at" is separated from the verb "look." In Swedish, this verb and preposition combination would be "titta på."

When learning new verbs with prepositions, always try to memorize them as one unit. You can also practice using them in a sentence to reinforce their meaning and usage.

Key takeaway

Using prepositions with verbs is a fundamental aspect of Swedish grammar. Learning the most common verbs and prepositions will help you communicate more effectively and fluently in Swedish.
