svare
Verb of the week: svare
Hei alle sammen,
Today's verb is "å svare" (aa svare), "to answer". Its use is
fairly similar to the English, but I don't know if you "svare"
a telephone or doorbell. Also, it is used with "på" when it has
a direct object (such as a letter or question that is answered).
å svare = to answer (infinitive form)
dere svarer = you [pl.] answer (present tense)
dere svarte = you [pl.] answered (past tense)
dere har svart = you [pl.] have answered (past participle)
"dere" means "you [plural]"
La oss prøve dette verbet:
Let us try out this verb:
Han skrev til meg, men jeg rakk ikke å svare.
He wrote to me, but I didn't manage to answer.
Har du svart på brevet mitt?
Have you answered my letter?
Svar meg!
Answer me!
Kan du skrive noen setninger om å spørre?
Can you write some sentences about answering?
Ha det godt!
Pierre
