Questions & Answers about Kan ni leverera paketet till rätt adress imorgon?

Why does the sentence start with Kan—is that how you form a yes/no question in Swedish?

Yes. Swedish often forms yes/no questions by putting the finite verb first (verb–subject order).

• Statement: Ni kan leverera paketet till rätt adress imorgon.
• Question: Kan ni leverera paketet till rätt adress imorgon? So Kan comes first because it’s the conjugated verb.

What exactly is kan here—does it mean can (ability) or could (polite request)?

Kan is the present tense of kunna (can/to be able to). In questions like this it commonly functions as a polite request in addition to ability:

• Kan ni …? = Can you …? / Could you …? (often politely) If you want it even more explicitly polite, Swedish often uses Skulle ni kunna …? (Would you be able to …?).

Why is it ni and not du? Is ni formal?

Ni can be:

• plural: talking to more than one person (you all), or
• polite/formal: addressing one person politely (e.g., customer service situations). Modern Swedish most commonly uses du even with strangers, but ni still appears in service contexts, signage, and more formal interactions.

Why do we say kan ni leverera without att (to)?

After modal verbs like kunna, Swedish uses the bare infinitive (no att):

• Kan ni leverera …? (correct)
• ❌ Kan ni att leverera …? (incorrect) Many common modals work this way: kan, vill, ska, måste, bör.

What’s the grammar of leverera—is it an infinitive, and how are Swedish verbs conjugated here?

Leverera is the infinitive (dictionary form). With a modal verb, the modal (kan) is conjugated and the main verb stays in the infinitive:

• kan = present tense (same form for all persons)
• leverera = infinitive Swedish present tense doesn’t change for person (no I can / you can / she can differences).

Why is it paketet and not just paket?

Swedish often attaches the to the noun as a suffix (the “definite form”):

• ett paket = a package
• paketet = the package Because the sentence refers to a specific package, Swedish uses the definite form paketet.

How does till work here—why not another preposition?

Till commonly expresses destination/recipient (to/towards):

• leverera … till en adress = deliver … to an address In contrast:
• på is often location (on/at): på adressen (at the address) is less natural here.
• i is typically inside/in: i Stockholm, i huset. So till fits delivery as movement to a destination.

Why is it rätt adress and not something like an adjective ending (e.g., rätta)?

In till rätt adress, rätt works like an adjective meaning correct/right, and it often stays unchanged in this kind of expression. You’ll also see:

• till rätta adressen in contexts where the noun is definite with an adjective (more formal/rare), but the most common everyday phrasing is till rätt adress. If you add an article, you’ll typically use adjective agreement:
• till en rätt adress (to a correct address) — less common meaning
• till den rätta adressen (to the correct address) — more specific/formal

Where does imorgon normally go in Swedish word order?

• Nej, tyvärr inte. = No, unfortunately not. If you want to be specific:
• Ja, vi kan leverera paketet till rätt adress imorgon.

• Kan ni köra ut paketet …? = Can you deliver/drive out the package …? (more colloquial)
• Kan ni lämna paketet …? = Can you drop off the package …? But leverera is a safe, clear choice.
