Questions & Answers about Vattnet värms i kastrullen och saltet tillsätts.
How do we form the passive verbs värms and tillsätts?
To form the present tense s-passive for recipes and rules, you take the active verbs värmer (heats) and tillsätter (adds), drop the final -r, and replace it with an -s. This gives us värms (is heated) and tillsätts (is added).
Why does the word vatten change its spelling in vattnet?
Vatten (water) is an ett-word. To say 'the water', you add -et. However, words ending in -en or -er usually drop their final -e- before adding the definite ending to make pronunciation easier. So vatten becomes vattnet, not vattenet.
What type of word is kastrullen compared to saltet?
This is a good reminder of en-words and ett-words! Kastrull (saucepan) is an en-word, so it takes the ending -en to mean 'the saucepan'. Salt (salt) is an ett-word, so it takes the ending -et to mean 'the salt'.
What does the verb tillsätta mean literally?
It is made from till (to/more) and sätta (to put/place). When you 'put to', you add! In Swedish, tillsätta is the standard word used for adding an ingredient to a recipe or mixture.
