Learn Swedish: Budet ger mottagaren paketet. - The courier gives the recipient the package.

Just like in the English sentence "The courier gives the recipient the package," Swedish allows you to drop the preposition if the indirect object (mottagaren) comes before the direct object (paketet). This is a standard double object construction.

If I wanted to use till (to), how would the word order change?

You would have to swap the objects! If you use a preposition, the direct object (paketet) must come first. The sentence would become: Budet ger paketet till mottagaren (The courier gives the package to the recipient). Both versions are perfectly natural and mean the exact same thing.

All the nouns in this sentence end in -et or -en. Can you break down their base forms?

They are all in the definite form, matching the English "the". Notice the different endings based on their gender: ett bud becomes budet, en mottagare becomes mottagaren, and ett paket becomes paketet. Because mottagare already ends in a vowel, we just add -n to make it definite.

The word mottagaren looks like it is built from a verb. Which one?
