Verbs

Most Swedish verbs always end with -a (in its first form/base form, e.g "to throw", "att kasta").

Buy - Köpa
Clean - Städa
Dance - Dansa
Draw - Rita
Drink - Dricka
Eat - Äta
Erase - Radera
Kill - Döda
Laugh - Skratta
Lie - Ljuga
Live - Leva
Paint - Måla
Place - Placera
Read - Läsa
Sing - Sjunga
Speak - Prata
Talk - Tala
Think (about something) - Tänka
Think (opinion-based) - Tycka
Throw - Kasta
Watch - Titta
Water - Vattna
Write - Skriva

Sjunga


Kasta


Some verbs don't end with an "a", and the ones I can think of right now are:

Hit - Slå
Flee - Fly
Pray - Be
See - Se
Sew - Sy
Stand - Stå
