Verbs start out as just one word like in the example \u201cSpeak.\u201d But when they add a particle \u201cSpeak\u201d + \u201cup\u201d = \u201cSpeak up\u201d the meaning changes completely. The short words that help transform regular old verbs into particle verbs, or phrasal verbs, are common prepositions or adverbs – so you\u2019ll recognize them!<\/p>\n

Words like av, p\u00e5, bort, efter, \u00f6ver<\/i>, med<\/i> often pair with verbs to form completely different meanings. So to use phrasal verbs correctly, it is not enough just to understand the verb meaning and the particle meaning separately.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get into some examples with the ultra versatile verb g\u00e5<\/i> so you can get an idea of what we are talking about! On its own, att g\u00e5 <\/i>means \u201cto go\u201d, or \u201cto walk\u201d, but let\u2019s see the different constructions of g\u00e5 <\/i>with particles:<\/p>\n

\nWhat is this game about anyway?<\/p>\n

As you can see, it is really important to decipher whether or not the word following the verb is a particle or not, because the meaning can vary so drastically! Of course, one strategy is to pay attention to the context of when the particle is used. Does it make sense when you translate the words separately – as one verb and one preposition? If not, use your dictionary to look for the meaning when the two are combined.<\/p>\n

Another way to determine whether the second word is a particle or not its emphasis in spoken language. If the speaker places emphasis on the word following the verb, it\u2019s most likely a particle.<\/p>\n

We’ll cover more of these particle verbs in the future! For now, it’s your job to memorize these ones with g\u00e5<\/i>. 10 points to the first person to make a sentence below in the comments using a g\u00e5 partikelverb<\/i>, go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
