"Jag äter när jag vill."

Translation: I eat when I want.

[TwoWholeWorms]

Should "I eat when I like" be accepted?

[jxxmxxj]

Or "I eat when I please"?

[BillyQuills]

How about "I eat when I wish."?

[Reid_FL]

Why not "vill ha"?

[g.uh]

You use vill ha when u want to have something - an object
Jag vill ha en cintron.
The rest is without "ha"

[steve.g92]

Is "när" the only translation for when? Or is it contextual to sentences like this one?

[exqeriment]

Would I eat whenever I want. be another good translation for this? I don't think I've heard when used like this, save for Duolingo.

[LogiaPKB]

"I eat when I will," should that be accepted?

[Anathe87]

No, vill is not will. Vill is like want

[jvkjvk]

"I "verb" when I will", is an idiomatic expression that means "I "verb" when I want" though.

[fenrir1138]

I agree, "will" in this case is idiomatic and means "want."

[LogiaPKB]

Ok, thanks! I found an article that explains it: http://blogs.transparent.com/swedish/swedish-verbs-vill-does-not-mean-will/

Couldn't "I eat when I like" be another translation?

[RijuBo]

To me, it sounds like "ja äte na ja vill". Does swedish pronunciation tend to skip r/g sounds?

[devalanteriel]

Yes, very frequently.

[RicardoSA54]

What would saying "Jag ater nar jag vill ha" mean?

[Dazdingo0]

Vill ha is used when you want to have something so it probably won't even make a usable sentence.

[person222222]

Would "Jag älter när jag vill ha mat" mean "I eat when I want to have food"/"I eat when I want food"?

[dkksslld]

Can also use "nar" as a question sentence?

[diamander]

Why it isn't "Jag äter när vill jag"?

[konnilee]

how would you say "whenever I want"?

[deactivated user]

Is it correct to say jag ater nar jag vill ha??

[Milubin]

No, because it literally means " I eat when i want to have". "Ha" is a basic form of "har" and it means "to have".
