In Swedish, most present-tense verbs end in the letter R, but a special group of verbs naturally end in the letter S. These are not passive verbs; they have active everyday meanings. You'll use them to talk about meeting up, doing things together, and describing feelings or memories.

The reciprocal verb 'ses' means to see each other or meet up. Because the action is mutual, it is used with plural subjects like 'vi'. For example, 'Vi ses imorgon' means 'See you tomorrow'.

The verb 'hörs' literally means to hear each other, and it is the standard Swedish phrase for keeping in touch or speaking on the phone. For example, 'Vi hörs snart' means 'We will be in touch soon'. To specify by phone, you can say 'i telefon'.

The verb 'träffas' means to meet or meet up. Unlike regular active verbs that change their ending after a helper verb, 'träffas' keeps its ending with the letter S in the infinitive. For example, 'De träffas varje vecka' means 'They meet every week'.
