The second drop down suggestion for gjorde is "made", so I put "Why did you make that" as an answer and was marked wrong. Does the phrase here not allow the interpretation of "gjorde" as "made"?
Actually, now that I think about it, "Gör" can be interpreted as "Make" in questions like:
"Varför gör du bilar?"
So I should correct myself and say "Gör" is interpreted as "Do" when it's used with "Det", and means "Make" with other nouns.
Sorry for the confusion, disregard my other comment.
No, not really. The G used to be 'hard', but was softened to a soft G sound /j/. The J was the same all along.
"Göra" used to be spelled "gjöra" sometimes before the 20th century, but apparently the J fell out of use there but was kept in the past tense.
Thank you for the answer and, generally, for the huge effort you still put into this course! ☺
