Questions & Answers about Vi vill besöka honom imorgon.
Why do we use honom here instead of han?
Han means "he" and is used when he is the one doing the action (the subject). Honom means "him" and is used when he is receiving the action (the object). Since "we" are the ones doing the visiting here, "he" is the object being visited, so we must use honom.
How is honom pronounced in everyday spoken Swedish?
When speaking slowly and clearly, it is pronounced just like it is spelled. However, in fast, casual conversation, Swedes often drop the first letter and say something that sounds like "ånom" or even just "ån".
Why does the verb besöka end in "-a" instead of "-er"?
Because it comes right after the helping verb vill (want to). Just like in English where we say "want to visit" rather than "want to visits", Swedish uses the dictionary form of the verb (the infinitive) after vill. Most infinitives in Swedish end in "-a", like besöka.
Can I write "tomorrow" as two words (i morgon)?
Yes! Both imorgon (one word) and i morgon (two words) are completely correct and accepted in Swedish. You will see both versions used often.
