Jag tog en skärmdump av felet och vidarebefordrade den till min kollega.

Ta is the infinitive, meaning to take. In this sentence, the action happened in the past, so Swedish uses the past tense tog, which is the past form of ta.

• ta = to take
• tog = took
• har tagit = have/has taken

So:

• Jag tar en skärmdump = I take/am taking a screenshot
• Jag tog en skärmdump = I took a screenshot

This is an irregular verb, so the past tense does not just add -de or -te.

Because skärmdump is an en-word in Swedish. Swedish nouns have grammatical gender, and most nouns are either en words or ett words.

• en skärmdump
• indefinite singular: en skärmdump
• definite singular: skärmdumpen

You simply have to learn the gender together with the noun.

Here, av means of: a screenshot of the error.

So:

• en skärmdump av felet = a screenshot of the error

This is the normal way to express what the screenshot shows. English learners may want to translate word-for-word in other ways, but av is the natural preposition here.

Felet is the definite form of fel, meaning the error rather than just error.

• ett fel = an error
• felet = the error

In this sentence, it refers to a specific error, probably one already known from the context, so Swedish uses the definite form.

Den refers back to en skärmdump. Since skärmdump is an en-word, the matching pronoun is den.

• en skärmdump → den
• ett foto → det

So:

• Jag tog en skärmdump ... och vidarebefordrade den ... = I took a screenshot ... and forwarded it ...

If the noun had been an ett-word, Swedish would use det instead.

Swedish often uses a pronoun just like English does when the thing has already been mentioned.

• ... och vidarebefordrade den till min kollega = ... and forwarded it to my colleague

Repeating the noun would be possible in some contexts, but it would usually sound less natural here.

Vidarebefordrade means forwarded.

It comes from the verb vidarebefordra, which means to forward. You can think of it as being built from parts:

• vidare = onward / further
• befordra = send on / convey / promote depending on context

In everyday modern Swedish, vidarebefordra is commonly used for forwarding emails, messages, files, or information.

Its past tense is regular:

• vidarebefordra = to forward
• vidarebefordrade = forwarded
• har vidarebefordrat = have/has forwarded

Because the same subject, jag, applies to both verbs:

• Jag tog ... och vidarebefordrade ...

This is very natural in Swedish. English does the same thing:

• I took a screenshot and forwarded it ...

You could repeat jag, but it is normally unnecessary here.

Till means to, and it shows the recipient of the action.

• vidarebefordra något till någon = to forward something to someone

So:

• den till min kollega = it to my colleague

This is the most straightforward and natural choice in this sentence.

When Swedish uses a possessive word like min, din, hans, hennes, vår, and so on, the noun usually does not take the separate definite ending.

So:

• min kollega = my colleague
• not min kollegan

Compare:

• kollegan = the colleague
• min kollega = my colleague

This is a very important pattern in Swedish.

Yes. This is normal Swedish main-clause word order.

The sentence begins with the subject Jag, followed by the finite verb tog:

• Jag tog en skärmdump av felet ...

That is standard. Then the sentence adds another past-tense verb linked with och:

• ... och vidarebefordrade den till min kollega

Nothing unusual is happening here. It is a very natural sentence structure.

Yes, many Swedish speakers also use screenshot, especially in informal or tech-related contexts. But skärmdump is a fully natural Swedish word and is very common.

So both may be heard, but:

• skärmdump sounds more fully Swedish
• screenshot is also widely understood and used

In writing meant to be clearly Swedish, skärmdump is often a good choice.

It would be:

Jag tar en skärmdump av felet och vidarebefordrar den till min kollega.

Changes:

• tog → tar
• vidarebefordrade → vidarebefordrar

So the structure stays the same; only the verb forms change from past to present.
