Questions & Answers about Simmar ni ofta på morgonen?
Why does ofta come after ni here?
In a Swedish question, the verb comes first (Simmar), followed by the subject (ni). Adverbs of frequency like ofta (often) are placed immediately after the subject. So the correct order is Verb + Subject + Adverb.
Where is the word for 'Do' in this question?
Swedish does not use helper words like 'do' to make questions. Instead, you just put the verb first. Starting the sentence with the verb Simmar (Swim) is all you need to ask 'Do you swim?'.
Does ni mean one person or multiple people here?
The word ni is the plural 'you', so you are asking two or more people. If you were asking just one person, you would use du instead.
Why is it på morgonen and not just morgon?
To say 'in the morning' as a general routine, Swedish uses the preposition på together with the definite 'the' form of the noun, which is morgonen (the morning).
