( bruten = break/broken ) (mostly limbs/bones or communication) Ex. Min fot är bruten. -> My foot is broken. ( bröt = broke ) Ex. Jag bröt benet igår. -> I broke my leg yesterday. Ex.

Bruten - (adjective) broken into pieces. Bröt - (verb, past tense) breaking something (into pieces) ex. Jag bröt benet Sönder and trasig are both adjectives that describe something that doesn't function properly, is broken. Ex. En trasig TV-skärm, Den är sönder. I think there's a small difference between the two, but it's hard to explain on the spot :/
