Questions & Answers about Mottagaren betalar avgiften till budet.
Can I rewrite this sentence without using the preposition "till"?
Yes! Just like in English, you can drop the preposition by moving the indirect object (the receiver) before the direct object (the item). You can say: Mottagaren betalar budet avgiften (The recipient pays the courier the fee).
Could I use the preposition "åt" instead of "till" here?
It would change the meaning. Till shows the direction of the transfer, meaning the money goes to the courier. If you use åt (betalar avgiften åt budet), it means the recipient is paying the fee on behalf of the courier (doing them a favor).
What is the base form of "budet" and what exactly does it refer to?
The word for recipient is "en mottagare". Why does the definite form "mottagaren" not have two E's?
For en-words that end in -are (which are usually people or professions), you only add an -n for the definite form, rather than the usual -en. This prevents an awkward double vowel, so en mottagare becomes mottagaren.
