Questions & Answers about Kan du stänga dörren, tack?
Because kan is a modal verb, and Swedish uses the bare infinitive after modals: kan … stänga.
- Present simple: Du stänger dörren.
- Imperative/command: Stäng dörren!
- Modal + infinitive (no att): Kan du stänga dörren?
Yes/no questions in Swedish put the finite verb first (V1 word order).
- Statement: Du kan stänga dörren.
- Question: Kan du stänga dörren?
You’re referring to a specific, contextually known door, so you use the definite form: dörr-en (the -en ending marks singular definite for this common-gender noun).
- Indefinite: en dörr
- Definite: dörren
- Plural: dörrar
- Definite plural: dörrarna
Note: With a possessive, don’t double the definiteness: din dörr (not ✗din dörren).
