Kan du kontrollera öppettiderna på hemsidan igen?

Yes. Kan du literally means Can you.

In Swedish, just like in English, Can you ...? is very commonly used to make a polite request, not only to ask about ability.

So in this sentence, Kan du kontrollera ...? means something like:

• Can you check ...?
• Could you check ...?

Even though could is often more polite in English, Swedish very often uses kan in everyday polite requests.

Kontrollera is the infinitive form, meaning to check / to verify.

After kan, Swedish uses the infinitive without att:

• kan kontrollera = can check
• kan hjälpa = can help
• kan komma = can come

So:

• Kan du kontrollera ...? = Can you check ...?

This is similar to English, where we also say can check, not can to check.

Öppettiderna means the opening hours.

It comes from:

• öppettid = opening time / opening hour
• öppettider = opening hours
• öppettiderna = the opening hours

The ending -na is the definite plural ending here, so it means the opening hours, not just opening hours in general.

This is very common in Swedish: the definite article is often attached to the end of the noun.

Compare:

• en bok = a book
• boken = the book
• böcker = books
• böckerna = the books

In Swedish, på hemsidan is the normal way to say on the website.

So:

• på hemsidan = on the website

Even though English also says on the website, learners sometimes expect another preposition. But på is the standard choice here.

You will often see:

• på internet
• på sidan
• på hemsidan

So this phrase is something you should mostly learn as a fixed expression.

Hemsida literally means home page, but in everyday Swedish it is often used to mean website more generally.

So på hemsidan usually means:

• on the website
• sometimes more literally on the homepage

In many contexts, Swedish speakers use hemsida where English would simply say website.

Igen means again.

So it tells you that the action should be repeated:

• kontrollera ... igen = check ... again

It usually comes near the end of the sentence, as it does here.

Examples:

• Kan du säga det igen? = Can you say that again?
• Jag läser den igen. = I’m reading it again.

That is a very natural position in Swedish.

In a sentence like this, Swedish often puts igen after the thing being checked:

• Kan du kontrollera öppettiderna på hemsidan igen?

This sounds natural and idiomatic.

You may sometimes see igen in other positions depending on emphasis, but for a learner, putting it at the end is a very safe and common pattern.

It is correct and understandable, but in everyday Swedish, many speakers might also say kolla or kontrollera depending on context.

Compare:

• kontrollera = check, verify, inspect; slightly more formal or careful
• kolla = check; more casual and conversational

So this sentence is perfectly fine, but a more informal version could be:

• Kan du kolla öppettiderna på hemsidan igen?

Both work. Kontrollera sounds a bit more formal or precise.

It is neutral to slightly polite, but not highly formal.

Because it uses du, it is directed to one person in a normal everyday way. Swedish usually uses du in most situations, even many polite ones.

The sentence sounds natural in:

• everyday conversation
• work messages
• emails to colleagues
• talking to customer service in a normal way

If you wanted to sound softer or more indirect, you could add something like:

• Kan du vara snäll och kontrollera öppettiderna på hemsidan igen?
• Skulle du kunna kontrollera öppettiderna på hemsidan igen?

A rough learner-friendly breakdown is:

ÖPP-eh-tee-der-na

A few things to notice:

• ö is not the same as English o
• the stress is mainly on the first syllable: ÖPP
• tt and d are pronounced clearly, but not exaggerated

If you want to practice it in chunks:

• öppet = open
• tiderna = the times

Together: öppettiderna

Because Swedish usually puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word before it.

So:

• hemsida = website
• hemsidan = the website

and

• öppettider = opening hours
• öppettiderna = the opening hours

This is one of the biggest structural differences from English.

Not naturally in most situations.

Hemsidans means the website’s, so hemsidans öppettider would literally mean the website’s opening hours, which sounds odd because websites do not usually have opening hours.

The intended meaning is that the opening hours are found on the website, so på hemsidan is the natural phrase:

• kontrollera öppettiderna på hemsidan = check the opening hours on the website

The basic structure is:

• Kan = verb
• du = subject
• kontrollera = infinitive verb
• öppettiderna = object
• på hemsidan = place/location phrase
• igen = again

So:

Kan du kontrollera öppettiderna på hemsidan igen?

This is standard Swedish question word order for a yes/no question: the conjugated verb comes first.

Compare:

• Du kan kontrollera öppettiderna. = You can check the opening hours.
• Kan du kontrollera öppettiderna? = Can you check the opening hours?

So the question is formed by putting the finite verb before the subject.
