Questions & Answers about Ring mig när du kommer fram.

Why is Ring used here, and what form is it?

Ring is the imperative form of ringa (to call / phone).

The imperative is used for commands, requests, and instructions:

• Ring mig! = Call me!
• Skriv till mig! = Write to me!

In Swedish, the imperative usually has no subject stated, just like in English:

• Call me
• Ring mig

So Ring mig när du kommer fram starts with a direct instruction: Call me when you arrive.

Why is it mig and not jag?

Because mig is the object form of jag.

Compare:

• jag = I
• mig = me

In the sentence, the person is receiving the action of calling, so Swedish uses the object form:

• Ring mig = Call me

Just like in English, you would not say Call I.

A few similar pairs:

• jag / mig = I / me
• du / dig = you / you
• han / honom = he / him
• hon / henne = she / her
