Questions & Answers about Vi är här, så du måste komma hit.
Why does this sentence use two different words for "here" (här and hit)?
In Swedish, location words change depending on whether there is movement toward a destination. här is positional (meaning "at this place"), used with verbs of being like är. hit is directional (meaning "to this place"), used with verbs of motion like komma. English used to do this with "here" and "hither"!
Why doesn't måste have an att (to) after it, like måste att komma?
måste is a modal verb, similar to "must" or "can" in English. Modal verbs are followed directly by the infinitive form of the next verb without using att (to). So it is just måste komma (must come).
Is så a conjunction here, and does it change the word order?
Yes, så (so) connects the two main clauses. Because it is a coordinating conjunction, the clause after it starts normally with the subject (du) followed by the verb (måste). It does not force the verb to come before the subject.
Can I use hit with verbs other than komma?
Absolutely! You must use hit with any verb that shows movement toward your current location. Common examples include köra hit (drive here), gå hit (walk here), or flytta hit (move here).
