Questions & Answers about Du kommer att blunda i slutet av träningspasset.
Since we are learning reflexive verbs, shouldn't "close your eyes" be something like "blunda dig"?
No, blunda is a standalone verb that already means "to close one's eyes." Unlike English, which requires an object ("your eyes"), or other Swedish verbs that need a reflexive pronoun (like känna sig), blunda doesn't take any object or reflexive pronoun at all.
This lesson is about imperatives (commands). How would I say "Close your eyes!" as a command?
Because blunda is a Group 1 verb (which end in -a in their dictionary form), its imperative form is exactly the same: blunda! So to give the command, you would just say: Blunda i slutet av träningspasset!
Why do we use the preposition i for "at the end of" (i slutet av)?
I slutet av is a fixed expression in Swedish for "at the end of [something]." It's paired with its opposite, i början av (at the beginning of). It is best to memorize these as set phrases rather than trying to translate the English preposition "at" word-for-word.
How is the word träningspasset built?
It is a compound noun made from träning (training/workout) and passet (the definite form of ett pass, meaning a session or shift). The -s- in the middle is a linking letter commonly used in Swedish to smoothly glue two nouns together.
