Stängde

Stängde is a Swedish word that translates to "closed" in English. It is the past tense form of the verb "stänga," which means "to close." This word is used in a variety of contexts to indicate that something has been shut, secured, or brought to an end.

For example, "butiken stängde klockan fem" means "the shop closed at five o'clock." Similarly, "dörren stängde sig själv" translates to "the door closed by itself." The term can also refer to the cessation of activities or operations, such as "skolan stängde för sommaren" which means "the school closed for the summer." In a more abstract sense, it can imply the end of a period or opportunity, like "ansökningstiden stängde igår" meaning "the application period closed yesterday." The word is a fundamental part of Swedish grammar and everyday communication, signifying completion or inaccessibility.
