s-verbs: synes, trives, finnes, møtes

Some verbs always end in -s without being passive. The most common are synes (think, find), trives (be happy somewhere), finnes (exist, there is), lykkes (succeed) and minnes (remember), plus the 'each other' verbs møtes (meet), ses (see each other) and skilles (part).

• The present tense is the same as the infinitive: Jeg synes det er fint. Vi ses i morgen!
• The past tense keeps the -s and is often irregular: syntes, trivdes, fantes, møttes, lyktes, mintes, skiltes.

Let the time words decide: I fjor trivdes jeg ikke, men nå trives jeg godt. (Last year I wasn't happy, but now I am.)

These verbs are different from the s-passive (Døra lukkes, The door is being closed).
