Questions & Answers about Du kan studera svenska och engelska hemma.
Why is du used here instead of ni?
In Swedish, du is the standard informal singular pronoun for "you," used when speaking to one person in most everyday contexts. Ni can be plural ("you all") or sometimes a more formal singular address, but nowadays du is common and generally preferred.
Why is there no extra word after kan (such as "att")?
In Swedish, modal verbs like kan ("can") are typically followed directly by the infinitive form of the verb without att. So you say kan studera rather than kan att studera.
Why are the words svenska and engelska not capitalized?
In Swedish, languages are not capitalized unless they start a sentence or appear in a title. So you normally write svenska for "Swedish" and engelska for "English."
Is there a difference between svenska as a language and svensk as an adjective?
Yes. Svenska in this sentence refers to the Swedish language, while svensk (without the a) is often used as an adjective meaning "Swedish" (for instance, svensk mat = "Swedish food").
Why is hemma used instead of hem?
Hemma means "at home" and is used as an adverb describing the location or state of being in one's home. Hem can mean "home" as a noun or be used in expressions like gå hem ("go home"). In this sentence, you're describing studying "at home," so hemma is correct.
