Understanding Svenska Interrogative Sentences
In Swedish, just like in English, we ask questions to find out more information. These questions are called interrogative sentences. Let's learn how to make and use them!
To ask questions in Swedish, we often use special words called question words. These words help us ask about different things, like who, what, where, and why.
Important Points
- Who - Vem
- What - Vad
- Where - Var
- When - När
- Why - Varför
- How - Hur
Examples
- Vem är du?
- Vad gör du?
- Var bor du?
Sometimes, we ask questions that can be answered with just a 'yes' or 'no'. In Swedish, we usually start these questions with the verb.
Examples
- Är du glad?
- Kan du simma?
- Har du en katt?
In Swedish, the order of words in a question is important. We usually start with the question word or the verb, followed by the subject and then the rest of the sentence.
Examples
- Varför är du ledsen?
- När kommer bussen?
- Hur mår du?
In Swedish, just like in English, we can also make a question by changing our voice, or intonation, at the end of a sentence.
Examples
- Du gillar glass?
- Du är trött?
- Vi går nu?
