"We are going forward."

Translation: Vi åker framåt.

[nkebede]

why not gå instead of åker

[Quarkmus]

What is the difference between framat and fram?

[Lundgren8]

None really. Framåt is a bit stronger.

[DrJohnHouse]

And the diff between aker and gar is...one is "is/are going" and the other is just "go"? (Sorry for the lack of accents there...)

[Snommelp]

åker is by vehicle and går is by foot, if I remember correctly.

[friswing]

Well there is one difference, 'framåt' is always a direction, but 'fram' can also mean 'the front part' of something, e.g. the front seats of a car

[Sabine444222]

What is the difference between framför and framåt?

[TVsAndyGriffith]

Framför is "in front." "Vi går framför dig." It's about position rather than direction. I came here to check the same thing and ended up looking it up.

[sonofgrendel]

Why would we use "fram" with "går" and "framåt" with "åker"?

[martin.mk]

"Vi åker fram" was not accepted. Any reason?

[friswing]

forward = framåt. Your phrase "Vi åker fram" means to me that you are sitting in the front seat of a car, which is not what "forward" means.

[martin.mk]

Thanks!

[CaliforniaNorma]

So then, this Vi aker fram is the sentence to use when, in English in the US, I would call out, "I call shotgun!" meaning, I get the front passenger seat...?

[alkmaar67]

I guess aker is like fahren in German and går is like gehen or gaan in Dutch .

[Quinvey]

More like "lopen" in dutch, and "åker" means "gaan"

[Christina584053]

If you're åker they you're framåt, but if you're går then you're fram?

Also, could åker be used as traveling to?

[dthief]

why is "vi ar gar framat" incorrect.....is that "we are are going forward"

[Arnauti]

There's no such construction in Swedish. We use the simple present vi åker both for we go and we are going in English.

[sakuramiyawaki]

what does have to do with food

[LeselManso1]

I wrote "Vi går vidare." and got it wrong! That means moving on in life in the figurative sense.

[Gudni7]

Varför fungerar inte: Vi försätter?

[Rachel574816]

What is the difference between gar and aker?

[Super-Svensk]

Gå means to go by walking, while åka means to go by a means other than walking (in a car, plane, boat, bicycle, or any other vehicle).

[Patti309623]

I was thinking that går should work. As in we are walking down a path, pause, and continue

[Frema6]

It's '' vi''not '' ve''
