Open Questions in Swedish
To ask for specific information, use a question word like vad (what), vem (who), or var (where).
Swedish is a "verb-second" language. When you start a question with a question word, the verb must come immediately after it. The pattern is always: Question Word + Verb + Subject.
Vad (What)
| What are you washing? | Vad tvättar du? |
| What is the woman baking? | Vad bakar kvinnan? |
Vem (Who)
| Who is the man? | Vem är mannen? |
| Who is fetching the bag? | Vem hämtar väskan? |
Var (Where)
| Where is the park? | Var är parken? |
| Where is the girl cycling? | Var cyklar flickan? |
Adding More Details
If your question includes extra information—such as a direct object or a location like där (there)—these details simply follow the subject at the end of the sentence.
| Where is the boy playing football? | Var spelar pojken fotboll? |
| What does the girl find there? | Vad hittar flickan där? |
