Fungerar din mobil nu?

Both are possible, but they have different sentence types:

• Fungerar din mobil nu? = a yes/no question. Swedish often forms yes/no questions by putting the verb first (V1 word order).
• Din mobil fungerar nu. = a statement (“Your phone works now.”).

So the verb-first order is the main clue that it’s a question.

Fungerar is present tense (“works / is working / functions”).

Basic forms:

• infinitive: (att) fungera = “to work/function”
• present: fungerar
• past: fungerade
• supine (used with har): fungerat (“has worked/has functioned”)

Example: Den har inte fungerat. = “It hasn’t worked.”

In this sentence, fungerar means “functions/works (properly)”—about a device, system, plan, etc.

For “work” meaning “have a job,” Swedish usually uses jobba/arbeta:

• Jag jobbar/arbetar. = “I work (as a job).”

So Fungerar din mobil nu? is about whether the phone is working correctly.

Because mobil (short for mobiltelefon) is an en-word (common gender). Possessives agree with the noun’s gender/number:

• en noun → din
• ett noun → ditt
• plural noun → dina

Examples:

• din mobil (en)
• ditt hus (ett)
• dina nycklar (plural)

Mobil is extremely common in everyday Swedish and usually means “mobile phone.”
Mobiltelefon is more explicit/formal, but often sounds a bit more “full” than needed in casual speech.

So Fungerar din mobil nu? sounds natural in normal conversation.

With a possessive like din, Swedish normally uses the indefinite form of the noun:

• din mobil (not din mobilen)

This is standard Swedish structure: possessive + indefinite noun.

If you wanted “the phone” without a possessive, you could say:

• Fungerar mobilen nu? = “Is the phone working now?”

Nu (“now”) can move a bit, but placement changes focus slightly.

Common options:

• Fungerar din mobil nu? = neutral, very common
• Fungerar din mobil? = “Is your phone working?” (no “now” contrast)
• Fungerar din mobil nu då? = adds a “so/then” feeling, often after troubleshooting

In statements you might also see:

• Din mobil fungerar nu. = “Your phone works now.”

A rough guide (varies by accent):

• fungerar ≈ FOONG-er-ar (the ng is like in “sing”)
• din ≈ “deen” (shorter/softer than English “dean”)
• mobil ≈ mo-BEEL (stress often on the second part)
• nu ≈ like “new” but with Swedish u (more forward and rounded)

If you want a very approximate English-like rhythm: FOONG-er-ar deen mo-BEEL noo?

It’s neutral and perfectly fine in most situations.

More polite/softened versions:

• Fungerar mobilen nu? (less direct—no “your”)
• Fungerar din mobil nu, eller krånglar den fortfarande? = “Is your phone working now, or is it still acting up?”
• If addressing someone with ni (rare nowadays, but used in some service contexts): Fungerar er mobil nu?

For most modern Swedish, du/din is standard even with strangers.

Common short answers:

• Ja. = “Yes.”
• Ja, nu fungerar den. = “Yes, now it works.”
• Nej. = “No.”
• Nej, den fungerar fortfarande inte. = “No, it still doesn’t work.”

Notice Swedes often use den (“it”) to refer back to mobilen.
