"Din mamma arbetar inte här!"

Translation: Your mom does not work here!

[TheRealJason]

I can't imagine ever having to use this sentence.

[Zmrzlina]

It's a common passive-aggressive way of reminding people to not leave dirty dishes around the kitchen at work.

[TheRealJason]

And suddenly I can imagine having to use this, thanks :)

[JnisPuri]

Yup. There was such sign in a school cafeteria when I was an exchange student in Sweden, and nowhere else after that.

[amuzulo]

Your mom comes by and does a bunch of stuff around the office and people are upset, so they say this...

[Dhawal.Vaghela]

I imagined some old art-house movie where a child goes in search of his/her missing mother, only to find that she lied about where she works. Thank God it's not that.

[Thomas-Steve]

Cutesy passive-aggressive sarcasm: the cause of, and solution to, all the first world's problems.

Could "här" also mean an army? I mean the word, not in this sentence.

[devalanteriel]

Yes, specifically an historical land-based army.

[RickRegn]

Tack! You're helping me so much! :)

[ReineClaud3]

Mom or mother are good!

[devalanteriel]

Yes, they're both accepted.

[RanaFrancine]

can i also use "hit" here?

[devalanteriel]

No, hit is a direction but här is a place.

[TheLonelyBox]

What are the differences between har and här pronouncing or they are the same thing.

[devalanteriel]

No, they're not - a and ä are different vowels in Swedish. I recommend checking out the videos on vowels here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUb87YTKOTgnGcAM4toC-6A

[printedking]

does 'här arbetar inte din mamma' sound natural?

[devalanteriel]

No, not very.

[Tristram12]

"Your mum doesn't work here" isnt being accepted

[devalanteriel]

We do accept that, but your error report says "You mum doesn't work here", so you just had a typo on "Your".

[AstridDew]

It marked my response as incorrect to translate this phrase as "your mother doesn't work here" in an earlier question, then used that exact translation as a prompt here. I should have flagged it.
