PART: particle
Particles are function words that must be associated with another word or phrase to impart meaning and that do not satisfy definitions of other universal parts of speech (e.g. adpositions, coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions or auxiliary verbs).
In Swedish PART is currently used for two types of words:
- The infinitive marker att. (Note that not all instances of att are of type
PART, as att can also be used as an SCONJ). - The negation particles inte, icke, ej.
Examples
- det är möjligt att förändra den “it is possible to change it”
- det är inte möjligt “it is not possible”
