Usage notes edit
- Except for (sense 5) above, the general notion is that the direct object specifies to whom something is being offered, with på (or till in the case of inviting) specifying what is being offered. Either or both may be omitted. Valid follow-up questions to "Jag bjuder" include "Vem?" and "På vad?"
- Related terms like bjuda in are particle verbs and get the stress on the particle (in). In bjuda på, the stress is on bjuda.
- In sense 7 this verb was eventually displaced by the Low German loan befalla.
