Both can be said. You bent some words a bit wrong though, you could say either - Akta dig för simmande älgar! or - Se upp för simmande älgar!
What should we do with reflexives when the object isn't stated? Should we use "Akta dig" or "Akta er"?
Good question. "Akta dig" is singular and "Akta er" is plural. Thanks for the lingot who ever gave me it!
I would like to suggest that using älg instead of älgar not be accepted. If we were going to warn someone about a single swimming moose, we would use either "a" or "the" before it. With no article in the English sentence, it really only means the plural.
Plural of moose is moose. Having some words in English that are the same both in singular and plural (moose, sheep, fish) helped me wrap my head around ett plurals.
Can you say pas på instead of se upp? (I have seen it on a lot of road signs in sweden and denmark)
