Questions & Answers about När reser ni till Sverige, i juni eller juli?
Why is it När reser ni instead of När ni reser?
Swedish uses the V2 rule, meaning the verb is almost always in the second position. Because the question word När (When) is the first piece of information, the verb reser (travel) must come second. Also, Swedish doesn't use "do" to make questions, so it's literally "When travel you".
Why use ni instead of du for "you"?
ni is the plural form of "you" (like "you guys" or "y'all"). The speaker is asking more than one person about their travel plans. If asking just one person, they would use du.
Can reser mean "are traveling" or "will travel"?
Yes! Swedish has only one present tense, so reser means both "travel" and "are traveling". Swedish also frequently uses the present tense to talk about the future, so in this context, it perfectly translates to "When will you travel" or "When are you traveling".
Do Swedish months always start with a lowercase letter?
Yes! Unlike English, months, days of the week, and seasons are not capitalized in Swedish. So you write juni and juli.
Is i always the preposition used for months?
Yes, when you want to say that something happens in a specific month, you use i, just like in English. So "in June or July" translates directly to i juni eller juli.
