When travelling or following instructions in Sweden, you will often hear verbs ending in the letter S. This S turns an action into a passive form, focusing on what is happening rather than who is doing it. In this deck, you will learn the most common everyday phrases that use this pattern.
Lesson#2
When travelling on Swedish trains or the metro, automated announcements tell passengers that the doors are shutting. Adding an S to the verb stänger creates stängs. Dörrarna stängs means the doors are closing.
Quiz#3
How do you say 'The doors are closing' in Swedish?
Dörrarna stängs
Lesson#4
Before the doors close, an automated voice gives a polite warning. Se upp för means watch out for or mind. Se upp för dörrarna, dörrarna stängs means mind the doors, the doors are closing.
Quiz#5
Translate into Swedish: 'Mind the doors, the doors are closing.'
Se upp för dörrarna, dörrarna stängs
Lesson#6
On modern trains and buses, an announcement might explain that doors shut on their own. The Swedish word for automatically is automatiskt. Dörrarna stängs automatiskt means the doors close automatically.
