Did you adopt a furry friend to keep you company during quarantine from COVID-19? You\u2019re not alone. On average, Swedes registered 1,000 more dogs monthly compared to pre-pandemic. If you are a relatively new <\/span>hund\u00e4gare<\/span><\/i> (dog owner), chances are you have been practicing commands while creating routines and boundaries for your newest family member. With that in mind, how about a vocabulary-heavy blog post to help you speak Swedish with your dog? <\/span>Bra! H\u00e4ng med!
\n<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00c4r du hund\u00e4gare?<\/em> Are you a dog owner?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00c4gare<\/span><\/i> is the general word for \u201cowner\u201d in Swedish. Put it together with <\/span>hund,<\/span><\/i> the Swedish word for dog (you knew that one right?), and you\u2019re a <\/span>hund\u00e4gare<\/span><\/i>! Remember that Swedish singular nouns ending in <\/span>-are<\/span><\/i> keep the same form in plural. <\/span>
\n<\/span>

Sitt! Kom!<\/em> Swedish Dog Commands<\/span><\/h2>\n

This subject is <\/span>perfekt<\/span><\/i> for refreshing your Swedish imperative (command form) skills. In Swedish, we drop letters off of present tense verbs to form the imperative. For example, Swedish group 1 verbs lose their -r<\/em>. The Swedish verb <\/span>pratar<\/span><\/i> becomes <\/span>Prata!<\/span><\/i> (Speak!) Group 2 verbs lose their entire <\/span>-er<\/span><\/i> ending. See the examples below:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
sitt<\/span>er\u00a0<\/b><\/td>\n Sitt!\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\nSit!<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
