V o c a b u l a r y :

en-words indicated

with

'-en' or '-n' after the word, for example

'adress, -en' ,meansthat'an address' is 'en adress' and 'the address' is 'adressen'.

ett-words indicated with '-et' or '-t' after the word, for example 'namn, -et'

means

that

'a name' is 'ett namn' and 'the name' is 'namnet'.

All verbs in the wordlist are in the present tense, for example 'I talk' or 'she

talks'. Most Swedish verbs end

with

an V in the present tense.

P r o n u n c i a t i o n :

use of

b o l d

indicates

that

the letter should be pronouncedwith

a

l o n g

s o u n d .For example: adress should be pronouncedwitha very long 's '

s o u n d :

adresssssssss. The vowel before this long 's' and the long 's' itself

makeup the stressed syllable, inthiscase the second syllable,

' ess ' .

Example

of long vowel sound: badar should be pronouncedwitha very long 'a' sound

[baaaaaaaaaadar]. This 'a' and the

following

consonant ('d')

make

up the

stressed syllable, inthiscase the firstsyllable, 'bad-'. Unusual pronunciations

are indicated by square brackets.
