Questions & Answers about Min mobil fungerar igen.
Why is it Min and not Mitt?
Because mobil is a common-gender noun (an “en”-word). Use:
- min for en-words: min mobil
- mitt for ett-words: mitt hus
- mina for plurals: mina mobiler
Why not say Min mobilen? Do possessives take the definite ending?
No. Swedish does not combine a possessive with the definite suffix. Say min mobil, not “min mobilen.” If you don’t use a possessive, you can use the definite: mobilen = “the phone.”
Where does igen go, and can it move?
Default placement is near the end of the clause, after the finite verb: Min mobil fungerar igen. You can front a time word and keep igen late: Nu fungerar min mobil igen. You’ll also hear Min mobil fungerar nu igen. More formal alternatives to igen are åter and återigen.
What is the tense of fungerar, and how do I conjugate fungera?
It’s present tense. Forms:
- infinitive: fungera
- present: fungerar
- past: fungerade
- supine: fungerat
- imperative: fungera!
