Learn Dutch: Komen jullie vanavond terug? - Are you coming back tonight?

The subject is jullie (plural 'you'). For plural subjects, we use the plural form of the verb, which is usually the exact same as the full dictionary form (the infinitive). Even though komen is an irregular verb, its plural form still follows this rule: wij komen, jullie komen, zij komen.

Why is the word terug (back) placed at the very end of the sentence?

This sentence uses the separable verb terugkomen (to come back). In Dutch, when a separable verb is conjugated in the present tense, it splits. The core verb (komen) takes the normal verb position, and the prefix (terug) gets pushed to the very end of the clause.

Does vanavond literally mean 'of evening'?

Yes! It combines van (of/from) and avond (evening). Together, vanavond means 'this evening' or 'tonight'. You will see this exact same pattern in words like vandaag (today) and vanochtend (this morning).

Why does the sentence start with the verb Komen?

Because it is a yes/no question. In Dutch, you flip the subject and the verb to turn a statement into a question. The statement 'You are coming back' is Jullie komen terug, so the question becomes Komen jullie terug?.
