Deponents are conjugated after the passive form, while they have an active significance; as, minnas, 'to remember,' jag minnas, 'I remember.'

Some deponents are merely the passive of some other reflective active verb; as, förifras, 'to be in a passion,' from förifra sig, 'to put oneself in a passion.' Others have no relation to any corresponding active verb; as, hoppas, 'to hope.'

Most intransitive verbs are without the passive; as falla, 'to fall,' hända, 'to happen' etc., and such verbs may generally be used as impersonals; as, det faller sig svårt, 'it is difficult;' det hände mig, 'it happened to me.'

Intransitives may be used in some cases in the passive when they have an impersonal sense; as, det dansas här i huset, 'there is dancing going on in the house.'
