The Stress Test

If you aren't sure if it's a particle verb, try saying it with stress on the particle. If it sounds like a common phrase you've heard, it probably is!

Review Summary

  • Verb + STRESSED Particle
  • Subject + Verb + Particle + Object

Erros comuns

The particle 'om' must come immediately after the verb 'tycker', not after the object.

Wrong: Jag tycker kaffe om.
Correto: Jag tycker om kaffe.

If you stress 'hälsar', it means you are waving or saying hello. Stress 'på' to mean you are visiting.

Wrong: Jag hälsar på min vän. (with stress on 'hälsar')
Correto: Jag hälsar PÅ min vän.

In Swedish, 'stänga' just means to close (like a door). To 'turn off' electronics, you MUST include the particle 'av'.

Wrong: Jag ska stänga TV:n.
Correto: Jag ska stänga av TV:n.

Next Steps

You've just unlocked a huge part of conversational Swedish! Phrasal verbs make your speech flow naturally and help you express complex ideas simply. Keep practicing those stressed particles!

Listen to a Swedish podcast and count how many times they say 'tycker om'.

Label the switches in your house with 'sätta på' and 'stänga av'.
