Questions & Answers about Vart ska taxin? Du måste ange destinationen i appen.
Why is there no word for 'going' in Vart ska taxin?
In Swedish, when you use the helper verb ska along with a destination or a directional word like vart (where to), you usually drop the verb of motion. The movement is already implied. So while you could technically say Vart ska taxin åka?, it is much more natural to just ask Vart ska taxin?.
Could I use Var instead of Vart at the beginning of this sentence?
No, because you are asking about a destination. Var means 'where at' (a fixed location), while vart means 'where to' (direction of movement). If you asked Var är taxin?, you would be asking where the taxi is currently parked or driving.
Why is it i appen? Doesn't English say 'on the app'?
Prepositions often don't translate one-to-one between English and Swedish. While English speakers do things 'on' an app, Swedish treats an app more like a digital container that holds your information. Therefore, you type the destination i appen (in the app).
