I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s my animal instinct to bulk up for winter or my general love for baked goods, but I have been eating a lot of sweet and doughy things lately. Below I\u2019ll share a Swedish language recipe for cinnamon buns highlighting imperative form. You’ll learn verbs specific to baking and come away with an awesome recipe to add to your fika<\/em> repertoire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Often called \u201ccommand form,\u201d we use imperative form when giving instructions, or telling someone what to do.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cMix<\/strong> these ingredients together. Bake<\/strong>\u00a0for 45 minutes,\u201d and so on.\u00a0 <\/span>Swedish imperative form is different for each verb group!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Group 1 verbs <\/b>end in <\/span>-ar<\/span><\/i> in present tense. We simply remove the <\/span>-r<\/span><\/i>\u00a0 from the end of its present tense form to put this verb in imperative:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n<\/span>Group 2A and 2B verbs<\/b> end in <\/span>-er<\/span><\/i> in present tense…for the most part \ud83d\ude09 We remove this <\/span>-er<\/span><\/i> ending to get to this group\u2019s imperative form. BUT, this verb group also contains verbs like \u201c<\/span>k\u00f6r, r\u00f6r<\/span><\/i>\u201d and these happen to keep the same form in present tense and imperative:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
