gör

Gör is the present tense form of the Swedish verb göra, meaning to do or to make. It is one of the most common verbs in Swedish and appears in a wide range of expressions and idioms, from literal actions to more figurative uses.

Conjugation and basic forms: The infinitive is göra. The present tense is gör (examples: jag gör, du gör, han gör, vi gör, ni gör, de gör). The past tense is gjorde, and the supine form is gjort. The past participle is gjort, used in perfect tenses with ha, for example jag har gjort det. The imperative form is gör.

Usage and meaning: Gör covers both doing and making, depending on the object. It often combines with nouns to describe actions (göra frukost, göra jobbet) or produced results (gör inget, it’s nothing; det gör ont, that hurts). It also appears in many fixed phrases and questions, such as vad gör du? (what are you doing?) and vad man gör när man... (what one does when...). The verb is flexible in everyday speech and frequently used in questions, statements, and instructions.

Notes: Swedish verb conjugation shows a distinction between present gör and past gjorde, with the supine gjort forming the perfect tenses with hjälpverbet ha. As with many Swedish verbs, the choice of objects and particles can alter nuance, but gör remains the core form for the basic sense of doing or making.
