Preguntas frecuentes (6)

Yes! Swedish is very flexible. As long as the logic makes sense, Swedes will understand you.
'-ning' usually refers to the result or the completed action (målning = a painting), while '-ande' refers to the ongoing activity (målande = the act of painting).
Mostly, yes, but some have specific opposites. For example, 'bra' doesn't become 'obra', it becomes 'dålig'.
