"Tack för äpplena!"

Translation: Thank you for the apples!

[GabrielRPrada]

Farväl, och tack för helt fiskene!

[Arnauti]

Ajöss och tack för fisken!

[GabrielRPrada]

Well, close enough.

[Arnauti]

Close enough to be understandable. – If you want to say all the fish, it's all fisken in Swedish, we don't use helt like that (that's more like 'whole').

[GabrielRPrada]

So would a sentence like "Jag äter helt fisken" (I eat the whole fish) be correct?

[Anrui]

"Jag äter hela fisken"

[araruney]

@Anrui But doesn't fisken mean the fish and not just fish ? What if i wanted to say I am eating the whole fish?

[Anrui]

Yeah, that is correct. "Fisken" means the fish.

The sentence you wrote is exactly the same as the one above (Since we usually don't use present continuous) i.e. "I am eating the whole fish" - Jag äter hela fisken.

Did I answer your question?

[araruney]

Ja,tack så mycket!

[ZolnaiDora]

Is there any difference here between för and till?

[Zmrzlina]

Yes. But they're kind of... hard to explain thoroughly. Prepositions are just quite irregular. In this sentence Tack till äpplena would mean thanks to the apples, as in thanking them (rather than "because of them").

[ZolnaiDora]

Thank you! so i think i have to practice prepozitions a lot :)

[Zmrzlina]

You're welcome. You'll get the hang of it with time, practice and asking when you're unsure of things. :)

[Annikajns]

I've found Swedish prepositions are something you have to learn by ear, trying to find the reason one is used over another got me nowhere. It gets more confusing when discussing time!

[MattTayloren]

if you're at a picnic and you wanted to thank Sven in front of everyone else for bringing the apples (slightly convoluted example). Could you say "Tack till Sven för äpplena!" ?

[Zmrzlina]

Yes, you could say that. It might sound a bit like you're talking about Sven despite him being present, but it's not ungrammatical in any way.

[alexwooty]

Hur tycker du om dem äpplena?

...right?

[Zmrzlina]

No, you have to ask Tycker du om äpplena? to say "Do you like the apples?", and Vad tycker du om äpplena? for saying "What do you think of the apples?". The construction with hur makes it sound like you're asking how one actually performs a liking of apples.

[Priscilla885382]

why may I not say "thanks" instead of "thank you"?

[Resener]

Is it correct to say "Tack så för applena"?

[adamgallag1]

whats the difference between för and till?

Välkommen till vår annonsbyrå. Jag är Jerry Smith. Okay, jag ska börjar försäljningssamtalet. Um,
enkel fråga, herrar. Vad är äpplen?

en hosta

Ursäkta mig! ... Vad är äpplen ? Äpplen är mat. När behöver man mat? När man är hungrig. Med det, jag ger dig din ny slogan: "Hungrig för äpplen?"

Stuck on tack för äpplena

[RuthMach-Z]

That is what I wrote!

[MeMeDeus]

Tack för giftet
Any MCR fans? :D

[Hr.solei]

I remember a comment from Arnauti that said it's better to use "till" if you're talking about something that you give to someone. And "för" is for what you give to someone like a performance to audience. Now shouldn't it be "till" instead of "för"?

[Quinvey]

Isn't "thanks for the apples" correct? or is "tack" alsways "thank YOU"?
