This is the 1316th most frequent Swedish word.
visste
"Knew."
Here, 'visste' is used as the past tense of 'veta', meaning 'to know'. It indicates a state of knowledge or realization in the past.
Jag visste att du skulle komma.
I knew that you would come.
In this sentence, 'visste' again represents past knowledge, contrasting with a hypothetical lacking of knowledge ('vetat'). It underscores understanding in the past state.
Om jag bara hade vetat det du visste.
If only I had known what you knew.
'Visste' in this case reflects the absence of knowledge or awareness during a past event or situation.
