Template:sv-verb-reg/documentation

Background
This is a template for Swedish weak verbs, to be used on the headword line. It displays the most basic inflections (infinitive, present, past (=preterite), supine and imperative). See also for strong and irregular verbs (where all forms must be given explicitly), and,  which are to be used under a ====Conjugations==== header.

Instructions

 * -ar verbs: No parameters needed.
 * all other regular verbs:
 * First parameter: The imperative minus any possible final -s. Warning!: For a few verbs this will end in 1) -nn or -mm(? Ever used?) or 2) -d. There are not many verbs which ends up like this, but one should recognize when and where they do, and what to do about it.
 * Case -nn (or -mm): This does cause some complications, as they drop one of the letters in the preterite and supine tenses. The solution, as given in the examples below, is to split the double consonant, so that one ends up in the second parameter instead. c.f. känna till
 * Case -d: Move the final -d to both the second and the third parameter. c.f. förblöda.
 * Second parameter: The letters needed to be added to the first parameter to construct the present tense. Should in most cases be either of r, er, s or blank (but see warning above!)
 * Third parameter: The letters needed to be added to the first parameter to construct the past tense. Should be either of dde, de, te, des, tes

Further parameters:
 * : To be used for verb particles. Defaults to empty. If you use this, you perhaps want to use the inf= parameter too, to add links to the verb and to the particle.
 * : To override the present tense. Give the value - (a hyphen) if you want to suppress the form. (Consider using instead)
 * : To override the preterite (past) tense. Give the value - (a hyphen) if you want to suppress the form. (Consider using instead)
 * : To override the supine tense. Give the value - (a hyphen) if you want to suppress the form.
 * : To override the imperative. Give the value - (a hyphen) if you want to suppress the form.
 * : To override the default infinitive.

Examples:

When located at the correct page, the parameter  will no longer be necessary.

These yield:

(Note that in these examples there are always added an inf= parameter to make it display the infinitive properly, and not the name of the template...)

ToDo
If there are any troublesome cases left, let's list them here so that the template can be fixed to accompany them or at least to present workarounds:


 * How to deal with phrases which includes pronouns? This includes both possessive and e.g. personal pronouns, such as bränna sina broar and ta sig an.
