Sköter

Sköter is a Swedish word that can function as both a verb and a noun, though its usage as a verb is significantly more common. As a verb, "sköter" is the present tense form of "sköta," which broadly translates to "to take care of," "to manage," "to run," or "to maintain." The meaning can vary depending on the context. For instance, "Jag sköter mina barn" means "I take care of my children." "Företaget sköter sina egna affärer" translates to "The company manages its own affairs." It can also imply something is functioning correctly, as in "Systemet sköter sig bra," meaning "The system is running well."

In a more idiomatic sense, "att sköta sig" means "to behave oneself" or "to behave properly." A common phrase is "sköt dig själv," meaning "mind your own business."

As a noun, "sköter" is much less frequent and usually refers to a caretaker or a person responsible for managing something. However, this usage is often replaced by more specific terms like "vårdare" (carer) or "förman" (foreman). Therefore, when encountering "sköter," it is most likely a verb indicating an action of management, maintenance, or proper functioning.
