Pronunciation
sv /r/
Suffix
sv suffix
Suffix for the indefinite plural form of some of the nouns of the third declension, chiefly if they end in a stressed vowel except -e or -i, or if it ends in an unstressed -e.
Suffix for the present tense, active voice, indicative mood (all persons) for a small number of Swedish verbs which ends in a vowel except -a in the infinitive; formally also for a large part of those verbs which do end in -a in infinitive.
sv Hon går. She walks. 1
sv Vi dansar We dance. 1
Usage notes
The modern treatment is to consider also the verbs which in present tense ends in -ar to use the suffix -r, even though they frequently are denoted -ar-verbs, as if the suffix would be sv -ar. However, the -a- is rather interpreted as being part of the stem of the verb.
In more casual – especially written – language, the subject is sometimes dropped in the present tense (as well as in other tenses). If the subject is assumed to be jag (I), then "Sitter på balkongen och dricker kaffe" ("Sitting on the balcony, drinking coffee" – natural-sounding) is literally "Sit on the balcony and drink coffee," but less ambiguous, since sitter (sit) and dricker (drink) are distinctly present tense. Compare "(He) sits on the balcony and drinks coffee," which is also less ambiguous. Swedish uses the same inflection for all subjects.
