# Swedish/Vocabulary
### How to use this vocabulary

All the conjugation forms of verbs, nouns and adjectives have been given here.
If the ending of the word has been, at some point, divided with a slash (/), it means that the ending has to be attached to the word by dropping the following letter(s) separated by the slash from the rest of the word.
E.g. en abborr/e, -en, -ar, -arna should become en abborre, abborren, abborrar, abborrarna. Notice how the "e" in abborre is dropped, leaving the stem "abborr", to which the endings -en, -ar or -arna are attached.
If there is no dividing slash at some point in the end of a noun or a verb, the ending is directly attached to the word. E.g. en arm, -en, -ar, -arna becomes en arm, armen, armar, armarna.
Also notice that en and ett are both articles and are dealt with in the grammar section.
