How ösa 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 ösa → öser, öste, öst.
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 ös).
| Form | Swedish |
|---|---|
| Infinitive | att ösas |
| Present | öses |
| Past | östes |
| Supine | har östs |
