"We cooked together."
Translation:Vi lagade mat tillsammans.

If "lagade" and other words in past tense are considered old fashioned and would normally be said without the -de ending, then why are we being taught them this way? I understand the need to be correct, but as a learner it's quite confusing and I would find it helpful if there was a clearer note alongside the translations to explain the divide between the written and spoken form. (Unless there already is but I just can't see it on the app..?)

What would I get if I removed "mat" from the sentence?
Would it still be "We cooked together"?
You would get an incomplete sentence and if you said it, people would ask you Lagade vad? On its own, lagade can mean 'fixed' or 'mended'. So you would be saying something like 'We mended together'. Read more about laga mat here: https://www.duolingo.com/comment/5892480
