Questions & Answers about Hej då! Vi ses imorgon.
Wait, doesn't hej mean "hello"? Why does hej då mean "goodbye"?
Yes, hej means "hello"! The word då translates to "then". Putting them together as hej då is the most common way to say "goodbye" in Swedish. Think of it like saying "bye then!" in English.
Why does the verb ses end with an "s"?
The normal present tense verb for "see" is ser. Adding an -s to the end changes the meaning to an action people do to each other. So while vi ser means "we see" (looking at an object), vi ses means "we see each other".
Why isn't there a word for "will" to show that this happens in the future?
In Swedish, you often do not need a future tense word like "will" if you already state when the action is going to happen. Because the sentence includes imorgon (tomorrow), you can just use the present tense ses to mean "will see each other".
I sometimes see "tomorrow" written as two words (i morgon). Which spelling is correct?
Both are completely correct! I morgon literally translates to "in morning". Because it is spoken quickly as a single unit, people often write it together as imorgon. You can use whichever spelling you prefer.
