Vi ses i övermorgon, och då tar vi med varsin mugg och varsitt äpple till parken.

Literally, vi ses comes from se (to see) and means something like we’ll see each other or historically we are seen.

In everyday Swedish, though, Vi ses is a very common fixed expression meaning see you, see you later, or we’ll meet again. It does not sound formal or strange; it is one of the most natural ways to say this.

So even if the literal grammar looks a bit unusual, you should learn Vi ses as a set phrase.

Swedish uses i in several time expressions for a future point in time:

• i morgon = tomorrow
• i övermorgon = the day after tomorrow
• i kväll = tonight

So i övermorgon is just the normal idiomatic way to say that time expression.

A learner might expect something more literally like on the day after tomorrow, but Swedish does not build it that way.

Yes. Övermorgon is written as one word.

That is worth noticing because:

• i morgon is often written as two words
• övermorgon is one word

So the full expression is i övermorgon.

Here, då means then or at that time.

It refers back to i övermorgon:

• Vi ses i övermorgon, och då ...
• We’ll see each other the day after tomorrow, and then/at that time ...

It helps connect the second part of the sentence to the time already mentioned.

This is because Swedish main clauses usually follow the V2 rule: the finite verb comes in the second position.

In this clause, då is placed first, so the verb tar must come next:

• då tar vi med ...

That is why the subject vi comes after the verb here.

Compare:

• Vi tar med ...
• Då tar vi med ...

Both are normal main clauses. But då vi tar ... would not be the normal word order for this meaning; it starts to sound more like a subordinate-clause structure in certain contexts.

This is the verb ta med, which means bring or take along.

So:

• ta med en bok = bring a book / take a book along

In the sentence:

• då tar vi med varsin mugg ...

the idea is then we’ll bring/take along ...

It is very common in Swedish to use ta med where English might simply use bring.

Because Swedish very often uses the present tense for planned or expected future events, especially when there is already a time expression.

Here, the future is clear because of i övermorgon:

• Vi ses i övermorgon
• ... då tar vi med ...

This sounds natural in Swedish. You could sometimes use ska in future contexts, but it is not necessary here.

They mean one each or one apiece.

So the sentence says that each person brings:

• one mug each
• one apple each

This is an important nuance: the objects are distributed individually, not shared.

For example:

• Vi tar med en mugg och ett äpple could mean one mug and one apple in total
• Vi tar med varsin mugg och varsitt äpple clearly means each person has their own mug and their own apple

Because varsin/varsitt must agree with the gender of the noun.

• mugg is an en-word (common gender) → varsin mugg
• äpple is an ett-word (neuter) → varsitt äpple

So the forms change just like many other Swedish determiners and adjectives do.

A useful pattern is:

• varsin
  • en-word singular
• varsitt
  • ett-word singular

Because varsin and varsitt already function as determiners.

They fill the same slot where en or ett would normally go, so you do not say:

• varsin en mugg
• varsitt ett äpple

That would be wrong.

So:

• varsin mugg = one mug each
• varsitt äpple = one apple each

Normally, no. These words imply distribution among two or more people or participants.

So they make sense when the subject is plural, as in:

• vi = we

That is exactly why they fit well here: the sentence is about us, and each of us brings our own items.

Because till shows movement toward a destination: to the park.

• ta med ... till parken = bring ... to the park

If the sentence were focusing on location instead, Swedish would often use i parken:

• Vi dricker kaffe i parken = We drink coffee in the park

So here the idea is bringing the items along to that place, which makes till parken natural.
