Kan vi ordna middagen hemma i morgon, eller vill du gå på restaurang?

Because this is a yes/no question. In Swedish, yes/no questions usually put the finite verb first:

• Vi kan ordna middagen hemma i morgon. = statement
• Kan vi ordna middagen hemma i morgon? = question

This is a very common pattern in Swedish.

Here ordna means something like arrange, sort out, fix, or organize.

In this sentence, ordna middagen suggests making the necessary arrangements for dinner. Depending on context, that could mean:

• cooking it
• planning it
• getting everything ready

So it is a little broader than just cook.

Middagen is the definite form, literally the dinner.

Swedish often uses the definite form where English would simply say dinner, especially when talking about a specific meal that both people understand from context.

So:

• middag = dinner / a dinner
• middagen = the dinner

In this sentence, it sounds like the dinner we’re talking about tomorrow.

Because hemma means at home (location), while hem usually means home in the sense of toward home (direction).

Compare:

• Vi är hemma. = We are at home.
• Vi går hem. = We are going home.

Here the dinner would take place at home, so hemma is the right choice.

Because i morgon is the traditional spelling of tomorrow in Swedish.

You may also see imorgon as one word. Both occur in modern Swedish, but i morgon is very common and often feels a bit more standard or careful in writing.

So for a learner, it is good to recognize both:

• i morgon
• imorgon

They mean the same thing.

Because gå på restaurang is a fixed, idiomatic expression meaning go to a restaurant / eat out.

It focuses on the activity, not the physical movement to a building.

• gå på restaurang = go out to eat at a restaurant
• gå till en restaurang = go to a restaurant building

The second version is possible in some situations, but it is less natural if you simply mean eat at a restaurant.

Because in Swedish, some common expressions use a noun without an article when talking about an activity in a general way.

So:

• gå på restaurang = go to a restaurant / eat out
• gå på bio = go to the cinema
• vara i skolan = be at school
• vara på jobbet = be at work

Here restaurang is not a specific restaurant. It means the general idea of going out to eat.

If you wanted to talk about one particular restaurant, you would usually make that clearer:

• gå till en restaurang
• gå till restaurangen
• gå på den där restaurangen (in some contexts)

Because the second part is still part of the same question structure.

The sentence is really giving two alternatives:

• Kan vi ordna middagen hemma i morgon
• eller vill du gå på restaurang?

Since vill du gå på restaurang is also phrased as a question, it keeps the normal Swedish question word order: verb + subject.

The comma separates the two larger parts of the sentence and makes it easier to read:

• Kan vi ordna middagen hemma i morgon
• eller vill du gå på restaurang?

In Swedish, commas are often used a bit more flexibly than learners expect. Here the comma helps show that the speaker is offering two alternatives.

You may sometimes see similar sentences without a comma, especially in less formal writing, but with a sentence this long, the comma is very natural.

They are adverbials telling you where and when:

• hemma = where
• i morgon = when

Swedish often puts this kind of information after the main verb phrase, especially in neutral, everyday sentences.

So:

• Kan vi ordna middagen hemma i morgon...?

sounds natural and unmarked.

You can sometimes move these around for emphasis, but the given order is very normal. For example:

• Kan vi i morgon ordna middagen hemma...?

is possible, but it sounds more marked or more focused on tomorrow.
