Let’s say this is the second part of the synonyms on the Swedish blog. This time I try to explain to you some verb with slightly different meanings. The sentences I have chosen describe the action that the meaning of the verb stands for. So for example in the first sentence flanera means to walk around slowly with no special aim. The adverbs are always a great help when memorizing the words. The adverbs are so good for describing the verb/action.

 But honestly I don´t know when I said for example spankulera last time. But it is very funny so I will start spreading it!!!

Synonyms of “to go“: (But don´t forget that you can almost always mix and match most of these words since they are synonyms of each other)

A little grammar extension for this post:

You don´t have gerund aka. Continuous tense in Swedish but you have something similar. There are of course several ways to express and translate gerundium from English to Swedish, but if you would like to express for example a continuous action then you can use constructions of two verbs at the same time in Swedish like;

Jag ligger och sover. Han sitter och läser. Jag står och väntar på bussen or Jag går och strosar omkring.
