How möta conjugates
Group 2b works like 2a, but the past takes -te because the stem ends in a voiceless consonant (k, p, s, t, x): köpa → köper, köpte, köpt. So möta → möter, mötte, mött.
Passive (s-form)
Swedish makes the passive by adding -s: the doer drops out and the thing acted on becomes the subject. Spoken Swedish often prefers bli + past participle (blev möt).
| Form | Swedish |

| Infinitive | att mötas |
