===Alternative forms===

===Etymology===
{{root|nn|ine-pro|*steh₂-}}
From {{inh|nn|non|standa}}, from {{inh|nn|gem-pro|*standaną}}. The infinitive ''stå'' and present tense {{m|nn|står}}, could be derived irregularly from {{m|non|standa}}, but are likely derived from an Eastern Scandinavian variant. This could have come from an unattested (Eastern) {{der|nn|non|-}} form {{m|non|*stá}}, or from the {{der|nn|gml|-}} form {{m|gml|stān}}. Both ultimately from {{der|nn|gem-pro|*stāną}}, which like {{m|gem-pro|*standaną}}, ultimately derives from the {{der|nn|ine-pro|-}} root {{m|ine-pro|*steh₂-||to stand (up)}}. The noun derives from the verb. Compare {{cog|sv|stå}}, {{cog|da|stå}}, {{cog|en|stand}}, {{cog|la|stō|stāre, stō}}.

====Usage notes====
* The verb '''stå''' is often used in constructions such as {{m|sv|stå [[och]] [another verb]}}. These constructions impart some of the same sense that is commonly expressed in English through the use of a present participle, that is they show that it is an ongoing activity. Constructions with verbs that originally meant "stand" also happen in other languages; compare {{cog|es|estar||to be}}, which is a cognate and also originally meant "to stand" (although it does not carry that meaning anymore). The standing as such is a minor issue:
** {{ux|sv|Vad '''står''' du och glor på?|What are you staring at?|inline=yes}}
** {{ux|sv|Han bara '''står''' och mumlar|He is just mumbling|inline=yes}}

* Note that the verbs {{m|sv|sitta||to sit}} and {{m|sv|ligga||to lie down}} may be used in a similar manner if the activity is taking place sitting or lying down.

* The past participle ({{m|sv||stånden}}) is virtually obsolete; it is only used occasionally in modern-day use.

* The old supine {{m|sv||ståndit}} is almost universally replaced by {{m|sv||stått}}.
** The same goes for the archaic imperative {{m|sv||statt}} (from {{der|sv|non|statt}}), which is replaced by {{m|sv||stå}}. Compare {{m|sv|gack}}, old imperative of {{m|sv||gå}}.

* In speech it is rather common to use {{m|sv|stog}} as past tense, which is formed by analogy with {{m|sv|slå}} (past tense {{m|sv||slog}}). This form is generally considered nonstandard, however.
