VerbForm: form of verb or deverbative
Fin: finite verb
Verbs that inflect for mood (Mood), tense (Tense) or person
(Person) are finite and are assigned the VerbForm value Fin.
Examples
- [sv] krig är brutalt “war is brutal”
- [sv] du får ett vapen “you get a weapon”
Inf: infinitive
The infinitive is the citation form of verbs in Swedish. The infinitive marker in Swedish is “att”. The infinitive may be used together with auxiliaries to form periphrastic tenses.
Examples
- [sv] ett barn som ska lära sig att läsa “a child who will learn to read”
- [sv] de behöver sova “they need to sleep”
Part: participle
Participle is a non-finite verb form that in Swedish is used adjectively. The related supine form is used to form certain periphrastic verb tenses.
Examples
- [sv] ökad frånvaro “increased absence”
- [sv] vår bisulfitbehandlade potatis “our bisulfite-treated potato”
Sup: supine
Supine in Swedish is a special form of the past participle, used to form the composite past form of a verb. It is used after the auxiliary verb ha (to have) but not after vara (to be):
- Simple past: I ate (the) dinner = Jag åt maten (using preterite)
- Composite past: I have eaten (the) dinner = Jag har ätit maten (using supine)
- Past participle common: (The) dinner is eaten = Maten är uppäten (using past participle)
- Past participle neuter: (The) apple is eaten = Äpplet är uppätet
- Past participle plural: (The) apples are eaten = Äpplena är uppätna
Examples
- [sv] Labourpartiet har gjort försök “The Labour party has made attempts”
- [sv] antalet lägenheter har sjunkit “the number of apartments has decreased”
