Hon blandar salladen med tomater och morötter.

Hon means she. It is the subject of the sentence — the person doing the action.

So in:

Hon blandar salladen med tomater och morötter.

the structure begins with:

• Hon = subject
• blandar = verb

This is the normal word order in a basic Swedish statement, just like English often uses She mixes ...

Blandar is the present tense of the verb blanda, which means to mix.

A very common pattern in Swedish is:

• infinitive: blanda = to mix
• present: blandar = mixes / is mixing

So:

• Jag blandar = I mix / I am mixing
• Hon blandar = she mixes / she is mixing

A useful thing for English speakers: Swedish verbs do not change depending on the subject.

So you say:

• jag blandar
• du blandar
• hon blandar
• vi blandar

The verb stays the same.

Because salladen is the definite form of sallad.

• en sallad = a salad
• salladen = the salad

In Swedish, the definite article is often added to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like English the.

So:

• sallad = salad
• salladen = the salad

That ending -en shows that the noun is definite.

In Swedish, the usual definite article is attached to the noun as a suffix.

So instead of saying something like the salad, Swedish normally says:

• salladen

This is extremely common in Swedish:

• boken = the book
• stolen = the chair
• flickan = the girl
• salladen = the salad

So the -en ending is doing the job of English the.

Med usually means with.

In this sentence, it introduces what is being mixed into the salad:

• med tomater och morötter = with tomatoes and carrots

So the sentence means that the salad is being mixed together with those ingredients.

Med is a very common preposition in Swedish and can also mean with in other senses, for example:

• Jag åker med henne. = I’m going with her.
• Jag skriver med en penna. = I write with a pen.

Here, though, it is best understood as introducing ingredients.

Because they mean tomatoes and carrots.

Their singular and plural forms are:

• en tomat = a tomato

• tomater = tomatoes

• en morot = a carrot
• morötter = carrots

So the sentence is talking about multiple tomatoes and multiple carrots being used in the salad.

Because Swedish plural formation is not always completely regular. Some nouns change both the ending and the vowel.

For morot:

• singular: en morot
• plural: morötter

Notice two changes:

• o becomes ö
• the plural ending is -ter / -tter in this form

This kind of vowel change is something learners just have to get used to over time. It is not unusual in Swedish.

Compare:

• en bok → böcker
• en hand → händer
• en morot → morötter

Because Swedish often uses bare plural nouns when talking about things in a general or indefinite way.

So:

• med tomater och morötter = with tomatoes and carrots

This sounds natural when talking about ingredients.

If the speaker meant specific tomatoes and carrots already known in the context, Swedish could make them definite, for example:

• med tomaterna och morötterna = with the tomatoes and the carrots

But in your sentence, the indefinite/general plural is the natural choice.

Och means and.

It connects the two nouns:

• tomater och morötter = tomatoes and carrots

So it is simply joining two items in a list.

A pronunciation note: in careful speech, och is often pronounced roughly like okk or åkk, but in everyday speech it is often reduced.

The sentence follows a very common Swedish pattern:

Subject + verb + object + prepositional phrase

Breaking it down:

• Hon = subject
• blandar = verb
• salladen = direct object
• med tomater och morötter = prepositional phrase

So literally the structure is:

She mixes the salad with tomatoes and carrots.

This is a very standard Swedish word order for a simple statement.

A little, yes — but in this sentence the intended meaning is clear.

Swedish med can sometimes describe:

• what something is accompanied by
• what is used as an instrument
• what is included as an ingredient

Here, the natural reading is ingredient/content:

• she is mixing the salad, and tomatoes and carrots are part of what is being mixed in

So although med can be flexible, this sentence is understood very naturally as talking about what goes into the salad.

Yes. Swedish follows the V2 rule in main clauses, which means the finite verb is usually in the second position.

Your sentence has:

• Hon in first position
• blandar in second position

If you move something else to the front, the verb still stays second:

• Nu blandar hon salladen med tomater och morötter.
  = Now she is mixing the salad with tomatoes and carrots.

Notice that after Nu comes blandar, and then hon.

This is a very important difference from English.

A rough learner-friendly pronunciation might be:

Hon BLAN-dar sal-LA-den med to-MA-ter ok mo-RÖT-ter.

A few helpful notes:

• hon is often pronounced more like honn / hoon depending on accent
• blandar has stress on the first syllable: BLAN-dar
• salladen has stress on LA: sal-LA-den
• tomater has stress on MA: to-MA-ter
• morötter has stress on RÖT: mo-RÖT-ter
• ö is a vowel that does not exist exactly the same way in English; it is somewhat similar to the vowel in French bleu or German schön

Exact pronunciation varies by region, but those stress patterns are useful to know.
