Questions & Answers about Har du beställt paketet ännu?
How do we form the supinum beställt from the infinitive?
The infinitive is beställa (to order). It is a Group 2 verb, which means you drop the final -a to find the stem (beställ) and add a -t to make the supinum form beställt.
Why is the noun written as paketet instead of just paket?
Paketet is the definite form (the package). Because paket is an ett word (ett paket), you add -et to the end of the noun to make it definite.
Could I use redan instead of ännu here?
You could, but it changes the nuance. Ännu means "yet", which is a neutral way to ask if the order has happened. If you use redan (already), it sounds like you might be surprised that they ordered it so quickly!
Why does the verb har come first in this sentence?
Because this is a yes/no question. Just like in English, Swedish swaps the order of the subject (du) and the helping verb (har) to turn a statement into a question.
