Resten går till hyran.

Rest is the base noun, but resten is the definite form, meaning the rest or the remainder. In Swedish, you normally use resten when you mean the remaining part of something already understood from the context.

For example:

• resten av pengarna = the rest of the money
• resten = the rest

Yes. If the context already makes it clear what is being discussed—money, salary, a budget, etc.—then resten can stand alone naturally.

So this sentence is fine even without something like av pengarna.

Here går till is an idiomatic expression meaning something like is used for, is spent on, or goes toward.

So går is not about physically walking or moving here. It is a common figurative use, especially with money, time, and effort.

Examples:

• Pengarna går till mat.
• Mycket tid går till jobbet.

With gå in this kind of sentence, till is the natural preposition. It shows where the money ends up going or what it is allocated toward.

För can also mean for, but går för would not sound natural in this structure. So går till hyran is the standard wording.

Hyra is the basic noun: rent.
Hyran is the definite form: the rent.

In Swedish, people often use the definite form for familiar, specific household expenses, especially when both speaker and listener know which one is meant.

For example:

• hyran = the rent
• maten = the food/groceries
• räkningen = the bill

English often says just rent with no article, but Swedish commonly prefers hyran in this kind of sentence.

Hyra is an en-word:

• en hyra = a rent / rent
• hyran = the rent

So the -n ending marks the definite singular form.

This is normal Swedish main-clause word order:

• Resten = subject
• går = finite verb
• till hyran = prepositional phrase

Swedish usually puts the finite verb in second position in main clauses. Since the subject comes first here, the sentence follows the basic pattern very neatly.

No. Just like English goes, Swedish går has several extended uses.

In money-related sentences, går till often means:

• goes toward
• is spent on
• is used for

So this is a very common non-literal use of går.

You can add what the rest refers to:

• Resten av pengarna går till hyran.
• Resten av lönen går till hyran.

That makes it clearer if the context is not already obvious.

The stress is on the first syllable: HY-ran.

The y sound is the tricky part for English speakers. It is a rounded front vowel, similar to French u or German ü. It is not like English y in yes.

A rough guide:

• hyra ≈ HÜ-ra, but with a long vowel

So hyran is roughly HÜ-ran, with the stress at the start.
